Seb has never been to a creche. I am about to start training to be a breastfeeding counsellor, and the course is for 3hours a week, with a creche provided. S is VERY attatched to me (even at playgroups he has tantrums/epic meltdowns if I am not right by his side every 10 minutes) and I anticipate tears and his dying swan act. Has anyone had a baby so attatched that they couldn't put them in a creche? How else can I get round this? What do I need to send him with? Extra dummies/sippy cups/organix biscuit bribes? Nappies? Gin? Whiskey? Barcardi?

Ruth who are you training with? Do you know the venue. When I trained last year (with LLLI for Southwark PCT) we had an adjoining room that was the 'creche' I never put my daughter in there at all. Sorry to say she hated it, very clingy too! Leaders were happy for the kids to stay in the room and breastfeed or play whilst we trained. Lily learned it all with me. You should have the option to keep him by you, if that works for you. There isn't a lot of written work or anything so you should be absolutely fine keeping little seb with you.


P.S I tried every bribe in the book, it didn't work! If he wants to stay with you, I'd let him to be honest.


Well done for doing the training too, definitely worth it. I wouldn't give up my voluntary slot for the world!

Gina; I'm doing it through the BFN in Wandsworth; the course leader is Zoe Chadderton. Really looking forward to it. I was still breastfeeding Seb when I applied and got accepted onto the course, but he weaned when I was 8w pregnant, so bribing him with boob won't help. I may just let him sit with me on my lap/toddling about the room as he pleases. His penchant for throwing screaming tantrums 50,000x daily may put a damper on things, but sounds like everyone will be understanding.


Next hurdle: getting to Tooting for 9.15am on public transport.

I hated early morning buses! I did it with Lily from 11-14 months. She was exactly as your describing Seb, very clingy and loves to throw tantrums when away from me. I was dreading it but we got on perfectly fine. She just ran about playing with a couple other babies whose mums didn't want them in the creche either. Honestly you will be fine, the group shouldn't mind at all. Your giving up your time and effort, they have to understand the child element.


Best of luck with it, it is a very good course in general! Loved every second of it, and made lots of new friends!

      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

      Be careful in local shops

      By Sue · Posted

      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

      Excellent Christmas meal at Franklins!

      By Jenijenjen · Posted

      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.
