My 7 month old son the famous non sleeper is - can you believe it - getting WORSE with weaning not better. Since we've started on solids (which we have done gradually and carefully), he has been very unsettled at bedtime - is DESPERATE to sleep but in obvious discomfort in the tummy/gut area. When I've kept him on milk he's been much better for the first part of the night.


I'm going to the GP as soon as I can get an appointment and when I can make it in the snow but, having missed his quite substantial tongue tie for 3 months previously (I asked them about it 3 times, I know, I know...it's easy to miss), I don't trust them as far as babies are concerned.


Does anyone know a good paediatrician (gastro/tummy issues?) I can press for a referral to? Or do you think I"m over-reacting. He's in obvious pain, and I'm now wondering whether there's been something we've missed all along.

My son didn't eat solid for the first year as he wasn't interested , he stuck to breast milk . There is a mantra saying ' before they are one , its just for fun' so I wouldn't focus too much on trying to get him to eat if he is happy with milk but of course I am no expert so its good to speak to your GP.


My son has allergies so had to be careful with some food as he does get stomach ache , culprits like dairy , wheat , fruits etc was too harsh on his stomach , he was tongue tied too but had that snipped at 3 weeks old .


I hope you get it sorted . We were referred to Kings Allergy dept .

      New Empanada Place on LL

      By dan b · Posted

      London doesn’t have a lot of Argentinian places specialising in empanadas, which suggests demand isn’t that great. There are many neighbourhoods with none at all or even nearby.  So for a mini-chain like Chango (several branches in SW London) to open here where there’s already a well established family run place doing the same feels a bit off.  I’ll be giving Chacarero my ongoing custom.

      Has anyone retrospectively fit aircon in a loft conversion?

      This is so helpful, everyone, thank you. @green bean Yes we have just (as of yesterday) installed the same external blinds you mention! We already had blackout blinds and we now have the external awnings too. Of course that will guarantee the end of the summer sunshine but I can see that they're going to be helpful as they let the light through but not the glare of the sun - I'm fed up of working in darkness with both the blackout blinds closed on sunny days. We'll see how we go with those for a bit but I reckon we'll get a couple of quotes from the other recommendations in case we end up going the whole hog. @penfold Love the idea of getting solar+batteries to offset the electricity usage so will look into that.  Thanks, all.

      Councillor Jon Hartley

      By MaryT · Posted

      Yes Sally, I've emailed him several times since Xmas. I don't contact Councillors frequently but when I've done so over the years, I've found them generally engaged and responsive. It's unprecedented to just be ignored and, regardless of the query I'm raising, that's worrying from the point of view of  our local democratic voice. Its a Councillors role to represent local people! A different thread on here made reference to a lack of response from one of our ward councillors and, since there are only two, I'm guessing it's the same one. I'm following up my own concern separately but I'm asking on here about whether others have had the same problem. I'd like to think it's a one-off but, increasingly, I suspect it's not. Hope that gives a bit more context!
