I have just had my second child by C-section and I have another boy who has just turned 2. My husband will be returning to work next Friday for 2 weeks (unexpectedly as our son was early, and we had hoped that paternity leave and summer holidays would merge!)

So I am considering getting some help for these 2 weeks - I am not 100% sure exactly what I need, but taking my son to nursery 2 mornings a week, lifting him when required (eg for lunchtime naps) are among the things that spring to mind, as well as help with the new baby and help entertaining the toddler eg when feeding the small one.

Would welcome any input or suggestions as to whether I need a temp nanny, a post natal doula or what - and any specific recommendations also very welcome. It's very short notice I know, so I guess an agency may be the only option (and hence pricey..)

Thanks.

    • There's not enough people talking about this - I've often worried about it too  One busy staff's mistakes will not make my pockets lighter, thank you very much. Thanks Sue and all the best for the new year. 
    • 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.
    • 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!
