Hi folks,


I'm going through a bit of a stressful time at the moment, but to my chagrin I can't take Kalms like I normally do as I am BF. I was up for about 5 hours last night because I was anxious and couldn't sleep, not doing that again.

Is there anything over the counter which would be suitable? Is rescue remedy any good?

I would try rescue remedy, thats safe to take and is safe for babies to take too. I used this in the first weeks of breastfeeding and had no problems whatsoever. The do a sleep one too, instead of the yellow label is purple. You may want to try that also.


Hope you can get a better night sleep :)

its practically full moon ladies...I had a bad one too...you could try listening to a CD or track which helps to relax the mind. I find that the ultimate deep sleep recorded by a hypnotherapist does wonders. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ultimate-Deep-Sleep-Lorraine-Ireland/dp/0954971914.

I have always found reflexology helpful in dealing with these kind of sleep problems. After my second and third children, I went to a wonderful reflexology therapist (very different from the beauty salon variety) called Katie Sedgwick. She is based in East Dulwich and specialises in maternity and post natal treatments and is very soothing. Here's her website Katie Sedgwick There are lots of recommendations for her on the forum, too.


Best of luck. It's hard when you don't get enough sleep.

    • Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertised  times. Hope you got it sorted x
    • People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.
    • Adapted not forced.  As have numerous species around the world.  Sort of thing that Attenborough features.  Domestic dogs another good example - hung around communities for food and then we become the leader of the pack.  Not sure how long it will take foxes to domesticate, but some will be well on their way.    Raccoons also on the way https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1j8j48e5z2o
    • My memory, admittedly not very reliable these days, places the shop on the block on the left hand side just before Burgess Park going towards Camberwell. Have also found a reference to Franklins Antiques being located at 157 Camberwell Road which is on that block. This is a screen shot obtained from Google maps of that address which accords with my memory except the entrance door was on the right hand side, where the grey door is, rather than in the centre.
