Re: Advice re quick birth registration in Lambeth

As far as I know there's no cast iron rule about where you have to be registered. Although I gave birth in Hammersmith & Fulham, I registered in Westminster (or at least the appointment was at a Westminster Register office). If you ring round a few councils you will find there's a big difference...

Re: Redundancy and CSA / child maintence payments?

Please get some proper legal advice before you call the CSA, particularly if there's proper money at stake. As I recall (it's been three years since I had to apply) CSA payments do not automatically vary. And there are limits on how much can be paid in a year (which isn't all that much).

Re: Flat head syndrome. Help- any recommendations?

OK I've found the link to the article that our craniofacial consultant at GOSH contributed to about plagiocephaly. It should be on page 49-50. http://goo.gl/bL5Ilq I should say that when we saw him in person in clinic he was a lot more vehement about the uselessness of helmets/potential damage they ...

Re: Flat head syndrome. Help- any recommendations?

My son had an oddly shaped head and we had to see The Man at Great Ormond St about it. He was very anti helmets because he said the way they work involves putting pressure on the skull and thus on the developing brain within. Also he reckons that there's no sound evidence they really work, they are ...

Re: Notice pay on maternity leave

This happened to me too, on 2013 just before I was due to go back to work! I feel your pain! Unfortunately it is not illegal for them to do this, but they have to tread very carefully. Most organisations will only do it as part of bigger group of redundancies because they can't discriminate against ...

Re: Let down by NCT, advice needed

Don't despair - there may only be three couples signed up now to your NCT class but that can all change as the time of the course approaches. Our course only had four couples with four days to go, but two more signed up the day before it started. And six was a really nice number.

Boori changing table and bassinet

Very sadly I'm looking for a new home for these items because my son has grown out of them. The Boori Urbane bassinet is clean and modern-looking, in natural-coloured solid wood from sustainable sources, with breathable mesh side panels. It's on wheels so you can easily move it around between rooms....
