hi all - my little girl (almost 3) has started waking in the middle of the night complaining about a "painful knee". I'm assuming this is due to growing pains and ibuprofen seems to have done the trick this time.


Does anyone have any tips for relieving growing pains without having to resort to medication everytime?


Thanks for the advice!

Talk to your GP if it's happening frequently. There may be an injury to the knee or some other problem with the joint of which you're unaware. A topical treatment would be better than an oral treatment, because topical treatments limit the overall exposure of the body to the drug thereby reducing systemic side effects. Have you tried topical arnica cream?

      Jags Swimming pool Temperature

      Interesting, because I've been going throughout the past few years with different sets of kids and the parents i'm with have always said it's cold. Also spoke to a couple in passing the past weekend and one even said that's why she never brings her 18 month old because it's too cold. Thanks for your feedback. Maybe it's the room temperature that's throwing me off. But the showers are way definitely way warmer than the pool itself.

      Post office or Thorpe Park???!

      Twice this month I’ve used the PO upstairs at the old WH Smith’s in Forest Hill. Very helpful and efficient with no long wait. But it’s sods law with post office queues, you just never know.

      I took an item for tracking to Los Angeles having paid postage and customs fee already online to Family Stores in Upland Road. They printed label and custom form from a QR code and all good, present has arrived, and there was no queue. ETA Actually the main reason I posted this is to reassure those who are put off sending gifts to the US because of all the tariff business, like I was, that it is very straightforward
