I was supposed to get my baby weighed yesterday and couldn't make it as I was ill. He hasn't been weighed for nearly 3 weeks so Id love to know his weight as otherwise will need to wait until first week of Jan.


I normally go to Townley Road but that's Wednesdays only I believe.


Thanks!

Have never done it differently with either kid but was lucky to have chubby-but-not-super-chubby, non-spitting-up, pretty well eating kids. If your baby isn't particularly skinny (or excessively chubby) based on its looks I would think you don't even have to bother with the home scale either :-$ Sorry I know social services will be after me within a week but we're kind of overdoing this weighing clinic thing IMO :-$

Ditto. took my second to the HV to be weighed twice and that was because I took pity on her as she was so nice and was encouraging mums to go along. Can imagine that many people find it a comfort - whilst some find it stress inducing. Some just like to see their baby's growth 'progress' on that red book chart! Usually just weighed at home when was wondering If he'd just put on lots of weight or I was getting old and tired!

We weigh our son by putting him in the door bouncer harness (we know it weighs EXACTLY 340g) and then weighing him with a excess luggage...er...measurer thing. It's not 110% accurate, but it gets the job done. An idea for the future perhaps?


I believe there used to be a HV/baby weigh drop in clinic at 'baby and me' which is at the surestart centre on Bantry St SE5. I think it's from 1-3? USed to be in the dulwich/camberwell 'lets go' events listings.

    • Thanks for the suggestions! If the Angel Oak is the pub on the edge of the Rye, it's probably not too far, but there might be more central (to East Dulwich) pubs to try first. No way will Nyge and I  ever  go to the Cherry Tree again, sorry. We had the most appalling Christmas Day meal there,   which cost us nearly two hundred pounds (for two people) without drinks. Our detailed complaints were never properly addressed, and my last email to the manager was never answered.
    • Looking for an iPod - preferably a classic - with at least 60gb storage.  Anyone have one hiding in a drawer? Thanks. 
    • Sorry to have missed this one but hope to make the next.  Re suggestions, is the Angel Oak too far?  Or the Cherry tree
    • Not strictly a new place but new to me: stumbled across a fabulous cocktail bar at 210 Rye Lane - we loved the gorgeous, eclectic interior, they make any cocktail you can imagine and will be doing small plates. Think it's called XOTO? opposite the Tesco express at that end of Rye Lane.
