Also; The Ahlbergs - Peepo & The Baby Catalogue were very useful for revisiting what babies need, what they can (& can't do) and how the older sibling is able to do so much more than the baby etc.etc.

I also really like the Usbourne book, and it's still a favourite with my daughter 6 months after the arrival of her baby sister. As well as the breast feeding picture I like the way the Mum, Mrs Bunn, looks really knackered and still has a big tummy after the baby comes! I wish I'd prepared my daughter a bit more for breast feeding as she was a bit freaked out by it at first.


Another lovely book is 'There's Going to be a Baby' (John Burnigham and Helen Oxenbury). It follows a mother and her little boy through her pregnancy as they speculate what the baby will be when it grows up. It has beautiful illustrations. The Mummy is a bit glamorous though!

I loved reading 'There's going to be a Baby' and E really enjoyed it even though I'm not sure if she got the concept. Agree with BB though the mum is very glam in her heels and dresses! 'There's a House inside my Mummy' is great on pregnancy but then stops just after the birth.


We have the Usborne book mentioned and 'Topsy and Tim and the New Baby' which also features breastfeeding. Happy to lend soon (ish!?). E also likes looking through the ELC and Jo Jo Maman catalogue and talking about all the baby things.

    • Unfortunately there are two ways of examining this, if we even had the figures. The first is simply to look at the revenues paid to the Council and see if the costs (in terms of setting it up and recovery from it, including administrative cost) are less than the revenues. This would be quite simple to do assuming we could agree the proper allocation of those costs. But additionally we have the amenity cost to those Southwark residents either (a) losing amenity value through e.g. disruption, and secondly losing amenity value by being excluded from parts of a public park for an extended period in summer. That is not a fiscal cost to the council and clearly they don't give a damn, but that would be the only way of judging whether this event was of overall net benefit to Southwark residents, the only people who the council should be 'working' for. Don't hold your breaths.

    • I need a trundle bed! 2 single beds that convert into one double bed. Preferably wooden. If you have one that you no longer use/would like to sell, please get in touch via PM.  Thank you 
    • Dulwich College had the "luck" of those allegations landing right in the middle of COVID when the media and everyone else was a bit distracted. And then to make double sure the discontent was suppressed, it threatened kids who wanted to demonstrate with police action. The kids at the time said: "Dulwich College has for years totally ignored, dismissed and condoned by turning a blind eye, this predatory behaviour by students... A protest was students’ only way to pressure the headmaster to actually tackle the sexual violence at his school.” The march by pupils of several schools was advertised on social media as “a demonstration against the predatory culture of Dulwich College and the school management [which] condones it". https://www.theguardian.com/education/2021/mar/26/dulwich-college-head-warns-pupils-over-culture-protest
