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.

      Rather than zero tolerance, a term I should have not used, I should have referred to crime,  No crime (excluding some things which really should not be criminalised) should be tolerated (albeit the reaction to a naughty 13 year old will be different to a violent criminal, and similarly those with mental health issues there will be some flexibility), I' was talking zero crime, which is impossible. New York was vastly improved, what happened to that wonderful Giuliani chap? US is not a role model of course, homicides per head dwarf the UK; the damage that white flight and the desolation of inner cities that happened to  many places such as Baltimore, Washington DC and Detroit is difficult to turn round Much rather move this debate to the Lounge!

      Charlotte Cave on Blackwater St, East Dulwich SE22 8SD Award-Winning colourists. They have just opened up their ED branch. The entire team can be trusted, unlike other local salons (won't mention the others that have totally destroyed my hair over the years). Just go to a professional: https://charlottecave.com/ IG: https://www.instagram.com/charlotte_cave/

      The quarterly SNT Police Meetings are advertised on EDF - the one Beansprout mentions, is  Dulwich Hill. The team have been short  staffed for a number of months as one officer was injured trying to arrest a shoplifter - unfortunately the shoplifter got away but the officer was left with fractures. We regularly see one or two of the police team around the Dulwich Hill area (they were recently in Landells Road)  Dulwich Hill SNT are hoping to resume their Cuppa with a Copper sessions but are frequently asked to support colleagues policing the various protest marches.  The next Dulwich Hill SNT meeting is scheduled for December (date to be confirmed) The attack on the young woman would come under the Goose Green SNT.
