Can anyone recommend one? Happy to pay privately.


Feeling a bit desperate. My 9 week old daughter has silent reflux and has now had several days of not really feeding well (she's BF). When she sucks hard, it makes her gag. Her current regime of medication is clearly not working. I'm sick of being fobbed off by the GP.

We saw a good paediatrician for relfux at Lewisham - will see if I have her name on record anywhere. Very much feel for you, too - it's horrendous. Can you kick up a fuss with the GP and insist on being referred? (- though I know it's hard to find the energy...) Good luck - will post the name of the doctor when I find it (hoping I've got it somewhere)...

Second Babu Vadamalayan at the private dept of Kings (Guthrie clinic) - he's very matter of fact and just gets on with sorting it out, was such a relief to be taken seriously when we first went there with our younger son. We saw him off and on throughout our son's first year. But the good news is after our first visit the medication and formula he prescribed stopped the pain. Not overnight but there was an obvious and marked improvement. Hang in there - it's so tough but every day they get bigger, it gets a bit better.

I would also recommend the OCC as an additional support... I went there with my daughter who had terrible reflux for the first 4 mths and who knows whether the osteopathy 'cured' it, or medication, or simply her stomach etc maturing but I found the centre to be great. At the very least you feel you are doing something and I also think it helped that my daughter was being 'handled' by someone with calm and professional presence. I went when it was based in Clerkenwell (near where we lived then) but I believe it has moved to South London. Good luck and it does get better!

Just a thought but have also have you had her checked for tongue tie? The two often go together it seems.

Babu Vadamayalan is the consultant for reflux at Kings as others have said.

Claire Kedves is one of the breastfeeding co-ordinators / specialists at Kings and can check for tongue tie for you if you leave her a message.

Katie fisher is also able to check, she works at Kings and privately. if you search her name on here, her number will come up.

Just wanted to say a really big thanks for all these messages and PMs. It really helped. I took her to see Babu Vadamayalan in the end, which at least reassured me that I am doing everything that I can.


I had already been in touch with both Clare and Katie, who are great and gave me some other ideas too.


Thankfully she's having a better few days at the mo.

      Xmas lunch at local pubs/restaurants?

      By David Peckham · Posted

      I've never got Christmas pudding. The only times I've managed to make it vaguely acceptable to people is thus: Buy a really tiny one when it's remaindered in Tesco's. They confound carbon dating, so the yellow labelled stuff at 75% off on Boxing Day will keep you going for years. Chop it up and soak it in Stones Ginger Wine and left over Scotch. Mix it in with a decent vanilla ice cream. It's like a festive Rum 'n' Raisin. Or: Stick a couple in a demijohn of Aldi vodka and serve it to guests, accompanied by 'The Party's Over' by Johnny Mathis when people simply won't leave your flat.

      Not miserable at all! I feel the same and also want to complain to the council but not sure who or where best to aim it at? I have flagged it with our local MP and one Southwark councillor previously but only verbally when discussing other things and didn’t get anywhere other than them agreeing it was very frustrating etc. but would love to do something on paper. I think they’ve been pretty much every night for the last couple of weeks and my cat is hating it! As am I !

      That is also a Young's pub, like The Cherry Tree. However fantastic the menu looks, you might want to ask exactly who will cook the food on the day, and how. Also, if  there is Christmas pudding on the menu, you might want to ask how that will be cooked, and whether it will look and/or taste anything like the Christmas puddings you have had in the past.

      Xmas lunch at local pubs/restaurants?

      This reminds me of a situation a few years ago when a mate's Dad was coming down and fancied Franklin's for Christmas Day. He'd been there once, in September, and loved it. Obviously, they're far too tuned in to do it, so having looked around, £100 per head was pretty standard for fairly average pubs around here. That is ridiculous. I'd go with Penguin's idea; one of the best Christmas Day lunches I've ever had was at the Lahore Kebab House in Whitechapel. And it was BYO. After a couple of Guinness outside Franklin's, we decided £100 for four people was the absolute maximum, but it had to be done in the style of Franklin's and sourced within walking distance of The Gowlett. All the supermarkets knock themselves out on veg as a loss leader - particularly anything festive - and the Afghani lads on Rye Lane are brilliant for more esoteric stuff and spices, so it really doesn't need to be pricey. Here's what we came up with. It was considerably less than £100 for four. Bread & Butter (Lidl & Lurpak on offer at Iceland) Mersea Oysters (Sopers) Parsnip & Potato Soup ( I think they were both less than 20 pence a kilo at Morrisons) Smoked mackerel, Jerseys, watercress & radish (Sopers) Rolled turkey breast joint (£7.95 from Iceland) Roast Duck (two for £12 at Lidl) Mash  Carrots, star anise, butter emulsion. Stir-fried Brussels, bacon, chestnuts and Worcestershire sauce.(Lidl) Clementine and limoncello granita (all from Lidl) Stollen (Lidl) Stichelton, Cornish Cruncher, Stinking Bishop. (Marks & Sparks) There was a couple of lessons to learn: Don't freeze mash. It breaks down the cellular structure and ends up more like a French pomme purée. I renamed it 'Pomme Mikael Silvestre' after my favourite French centre-half cum left back and got away with it, but if you're not amongst football fans you may not be so lucky. Tasted great, looked like shit. Don't take the clementine granita out of the freezer too early, particularly if you've overdone it on the limoncello. It melts quickly and someone will suggest snorting it. The sugar really sticks your nostrils together on Boxing Day. Speaking of 'lost' Christmases past, John Lewis have hijacked Alison Limerick's 'Where Love Lives' for their new advert. Bastards. But not a bad ad.   Beansprout, I have a massive steel pot I bought from a Nigerian place on Choumert Road many years ago. It could do with a work out. I'm quite prepared to make a huge, spicy parsnip soup for anyone who fancies it and a few carols.
