Hi All - hope you had a good weekend!


Toddler mums still up for meeting up this Friday morning with full brood? I know Rebecca, Nikki and Aine were keen. It looks like rain though so where shall we go? Where's good for them to expend some energy and run around like lunatics? Is there a soft play anywhere that doesn't smell of wee? Suggestions please....

Yes please to the Friday meet-up with toddlers!!! The crappy weather makes it even more important to have something to do. The only decent soft play I know is Gambados in Beckenham which is great but does require driving.


My only recommendation would be the Horniman as it's always our rainy day go-to place. Mimi never gets tired of looking at the dusty old animals or playing with the instruments in the music room. And then we can gather in the orangerie for coffees and the toddlers can run around together in there?


Open to any other suggestions though. Sadly Cheeky Cs is on half-term break until next Friday. xx

Hello All,


Would love to join you for a toddler and baby session soon, but I don't think I'll be quite up to such an adventurous outing this week. Hugo was born on the 15th of May, is very well, though also a very hungry baby (he only seems happy with a nipple in his mouth..).


Look forward to catching up with you soon though, once I figure out how to get out the door with a jealous 2 year old and a perpetually hungry newborn...


xx

hi everyone


i have a 7 week old little boy and would love to meet some other parents in the area! (i'm in loughborough junction so near to brixton/herne hill/camberwell/dulwich). i've been at home mostly after an emergency cesarean but just had my midwife check up and given the all clear so we're now ready to get out!!

Could I come on Friday, toddlerless? Maybe just for the tea in the Orangerie bit? Although Jo and I did find our boys entertained by the fish at the Horniman.


To let you all know about our 'only sleeping on lap for nap' situation. Last week I went all hard-core timings Gina Ford style and now have a boy who goes to sleep in his crib. After 4 days camping in Wales I expected it bad again yesterday, but no, he's all happy in there. I have a tidy flat again and feeling in my left arm. :)


Hope you're all well.


Jayne


ps Any experience of 3 month jabs? Better or worse than 2 month/BCG?

hello ladies, thanks everyone for the feeding tips and reassurance. Am thinking of introducing formular in the evening though will see how the next few nights are. Might try and make it to the Horniman on Friday too - have been to a wedding there but never actually had a look around.

Take care and here's to a good night!xxx

Horniman doesn't open until 10.30. So Friday at 10.30 in the foyer area! Perhaps a wander through the weird animals and then to the conservatory/orangerie thing-y (it is outside next to the museum's cafe).


As Jane says, you can park easily behind the gardens or opposite the museum (Wood Vale or Sydenham Rise are the closest streets).

Hello Spring Babies Mummys!


Firstly, apologies for my neglect of this thread, I've just had a real catch up of everything that's been going on & it's lovely to see all your news.

My news is that our little boy Bertie eventually made his very tardy appeareance on 23rd May. He's now 19 days old & its our first day at home alone together without Daddy -eek!

We're going to attempt joining the meet-up tomorrow, is 10:30 is at The Gardens about right?


Looking forward very much!

XX from Elisabeth

Hi Ladies


Congratulations Elizabeth! I hope your first day home alone is going well, I look forward to meeting Bertie.


I am hoping to make it to The Gardens tomorrow, it feels like ages since we last met. However I'm taking Amelie for her first swimming lesson a 1pm, so it will depend on how organised I am in the morning!

I won't make it tomorrow ladies as we're off to the clinic for a weigh in then to a baby osteopath in the afternoon as I think some of Isabel's grumpiness might be to do with the stress of her birth - worth a try!


Will try to get along next week. Bored of this non-summer. I had the heating on for a bit today!

Nice to see people today.


I'm thinking about going to the Crooked Well coffee and crumpets for mums and babies morning on Friday from 10.30am.


They have a baby nutritionist there for questions this week.

      Be careful in local shops

      By Sue · Posted

      I don't want to name a shop, but I have twice at this busy time of year had an issue, and yesterday was overcharged when buying a number of small things. If you are using a shop which doesn't give an itemised receipt, or doesn't give a receipt at all, just be aware that it might be a good idea to check that you are not paying over the odds (and if using cash, that you are given the right change for what you handed over). When staff are busy they might make mistakes.

      Excellent Christmas meal at Franklins!

      By Sue · Posted

      As I had a moan on here about the truly abysmal Christmas meal we had at The Cherry Tree last year, I am redressing the balance by saying we had a really excellent Christmas meal at Franklins last night. Every course was absolutely delicious and  really well cooked. The staff were lovely despite being exhausted and run off their feet. In particular, my sea bass was a large portion and cooked to perfection, in stark contrast to the small dried up portion The Cherry Tree provided, from which I was barely able to scrape a teaspoonful of flesh (that is not an exaggeration). And our Franklins meal cost less than half what we paid at The Cherry Tree (to be fair, that was on Christmas Day so the Cherry Tree costs would have been higher, but that doesn't excuse the appalling quality meal). Thank you again to Franklins for restoring our faith in eating out at Christmas!
