Hi all,


Congratulations to all the new arrivals! Have all the winter mums had their babies now?


I've not posted since the birth of my son a month ago. It's been a bit of a whirlwind! We've had our share of breast feeding issues, tongue tie (which has been sniped this morning by Mr Patel) and also a nice bought of Thrush which we're tackling at the moment. I was wondering if the Monday morning meet ups are still happening? Would be nice to compare notes on how everyone is doing.


Or if not is anyone up for meeting next week? I'm a new mum so no toddler in tow, so can be flexible on when/where to meet.

Hi Caroline..

I hope things are getting easier for you.. sounds like you're out of the crazy baby haze now!

Looking forward to meeting little one!

We've been meeting at the Garden's after Powerpramming recently 1:30pmish. It seems it's a toddler free day for a few of us so lovely to get the babies together and rant/ coo/ eat!

Hopefully see you then

Hi


In response to Caroline's message, I'm a new mum with a 4 week old baby who has just been diagnosed with tongue tie and due to have it snipped in the next couple of weeks, so it would be great to meet up and hear your experience. I'll try and get to the gardens at 1.30 on Monday but PM me if you fancy meeting up any other time.

Hello,


Another member of the tongue tie club here! Jonah's three weeks old now and I had been hoping to get out and about to meet winter babies people this week but trying to sort out our breastfeeding and trying to get Jonah a happier little person (we've also got thrush as well and reflux - a winning combination!)seems to have taken over a bit. Hopefully is all being tackled, having seen Claire Kedves up at Kings, we've got one more appointment and then going to be referred to Mr Patel for sniping as well, so on road to easier feeding. I hopefully can make The Gardens at 1.30 on Monday(may or may not have my 3 year old toddler in tow) and it would be brilliant to swap experiences/get some tips from Caroline and Louise and meet everybody that can make it. Would also be up for meeting another time - I'm toddler free on Tuesday and Wednesday so can be more flexible then.

Hi Louise and Lindsay- Sorry to hear that you're also battling with tongue tie. It does seem crazy that it's so difficult to get diagnosed and refered to the clinic. Especially when you have to be seen twice, sometimes by the same person before they'll refer you? We went private in the end. I saw Katie Fisher last Tuesday and was booked in to see Mr Patel at their private tongue tie clinic on yesterday. For me it was worth paying, just to speed up the whole process. Jacob does seem to be feeding a lot more efficiently already. We still need to work on the latch, but it's made a significant difference already.


I'm seeing my NCT mums on Monday lunchtime. We're trying out the New parent classes at Townley Rd clinic, so I can't make the Gardens I'm afraid. I'm free on Tuesday and Wednesday if anyone fancies meeting up for tea and cake somewhere?

Hope everyone enjoys the garden meet up. Jealous of toddler free zone!

Is anyone around on Thursday for a with toddler meet? We could go for a repeat of the walk in the park (possibly with real bread for the ducks rather than the less satisfactory although, inspired, imaginary stuff) followed by tea at the Herne?

Hi


Keep forgetting to check this and missing out on all the fun!


We actually didn't end up going to Bessemer School in the end, I'm wrangling with whether or not Jack has a nap at the moment (recently three), so he's often grumpy in afternoons either way.


Does anyone fancy doing anything this Thursday, especially with toddlers? I'm open to timings and ideas!


Hope you're all well and tongue ties are being resolved. It's amazing how prevalent it is, yet how much grief it ends up causing everyone because of poor diagnosis/care. I really feel for you and am amazed that some of you are managing to breastfeed inspite of it!

Hi all,

We're meeting at 3:30pm in enclosed area in Peckham Rye Park. (Outside the Rose Garden)

Throwing down picnic blankets and bringing toys and toddlers tea. (possibly the odd bottle of wine for us mums!)

All welcome.

PM me if you'd like my mobile if you don't have it already.


Hurrah to the sunny afternoons!

I have toddler again tomorrow.. Planning on going to M&C pilates so can meet in Garden's cafe from 11:30ish? Anyone around and fancy that?

Hope everyone is well.


We had a successful picnic on Thurs and if weather is nice, will do again.

how about a meet up on Tuesday afternoon in that case and try to get together with a few more of the first time mums? Seems a lot of people don't manage to make the Monday meet-ups, and with powerpramming at lunchtime it's quite rushed. Weather forecast is not so good, so stick with tea & cake at The Gardens?
Mooncake, I would love to meet up on Tuesday afternoon, but I'll be away visiting the in laws this week! I haven't been able to make the Monday meet ups, so if there are enough of us who can make Tuesday afternoon could we make it a regular thing?

    • https://www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/police-hunt-attack-south-london-b1247389.html Apologies if already posted on here - did look, couldn't find anything... 'The Metropolitan Police have appealed for help to find a man after a woman was seriously injured in an unprovoked attack in south London. The woman, in her 20s, was assaulted on Lordship Lane in East Dulwich at around 4.45pm on Monday August 25. She was treated by paramedics for injuries to her face and her jaw was broken in the attack. The victim was then taken to hospital and she continues to be supported by specialist officers. Officers are now searching for the suspect and are urging members of the public to come forward if they have information. He is described as a black man in his 30s or 40s with balding hair. He was wearing dark clothing during the attack. He is said to have approached the woman while she was by herself before swearing at her and then hitting her in the face. Detective constable Charlotte Kerr, who is leading the investigation, said: “We are working hard to find the person we believe is responsible for this senseless and unprovoked attack. “While we continue our enquiries, we hope our increased neighbourhood police presence will offer some reassurance to women and girls throughout the local area. “If you saw anything on Monday, 25 August – particularly between the junction of Lordship Lane and Chesterfield Grove at around 16:45hrs - do not hesitate to get in touch with us. “No matter how small you think your information is, it may be the key that unlocks our investigation.” Any witnesses or anyone who can help identify the suspect is asked to please contact the Met via 101, quoting 5018/25AUG or 01/7897951/25. Those who wish to share information anonymously can contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.'
    • I think, with schools, you really have to find the one that suits your child, rather than moving to a school catchment and then hoping it works. Mine both went to a high ranking and covetable school and had very different experiences - one loved it and the other was bullied and traumatised, and hated it. WE actually moved away because she couldn't walk around the area (yes - Dulwich area, so one of the local schools).
    • We live a little further down, on Pymers Mead. Traffic is terrible (always has been, but worse since the introduction of the Southwark LTNs). It's mainly the school drop -- traffic is noticeably lighter once the private schools break up  Have a few friends who live on that side of CR backing on to the train line. None has had any major complaints and the gardens on that stretch are fairly long, so you're not right on the line. Some have kids who go to Charter North -- its catchment defintely extends to Croxted Road. Other state secondaries nearby are Elmgreen and, of course, Kingsdale, although that doesn't have a catchment -- pure lottery
