Caz would love to have your support. So if you have the time, petrol and inclination, come join her. Or, if you know any mums in the Peterborough area,please spread the word. (And it’s *rumoured* that this Children’s Centre allows hot beverages. Could this be true?)
There are a few parking spaces available in the car park inside the school grounds. Further parking is available outside the school and in surrounding residential streets. The Children’s Centre is easily accessible from Paston Parkway (A15). The Citi 1 Bus stops on Goodwin Walk just outside the school.

If you have any questions you can reach Caz at 01487 832518. Learn more about LLL Peterborough on the website http://lllpeterborough.weebly.com.

Please bring any questions and experiences you’d like to share. We’ll also discuss Nighttime Parenting. This will cover questions such as how do you answer "Is she sleeping through?" when do babies sleep through? how do other mothers cope with sleepless nights? does breastfeeding offer advantages at night?

(An article about sleeping through the night can be found on the LLLI site: http://www.llli.org/faq/sleep.html)

Toddlers, daddies, grannies, aunties are all very welcome.

Van Slyck family top secret best ever flapjack recipe

 125g (4oz) Butter

90g (3oz) Golden syrup (maple flavoured is nice)

50g (2oz ish) Muscavado sugar

250g (8oz) Rolled oats

Any nuts, dried fruit etc that you want to add. I normally put in walnuts and raisins and sometimes pecans and almonds. I never weigh them, I just chuck in a couple of handfuls.

Pre-heat the oven to gas 4/180c. Put the butter, sugar and syrup in a large saucepan and heat gently until it’s all melted and give it a good stir. Then stir in the oats and anything else you’re putting in. That’s it! Now you put it in the oven.

Grease a tin with some butter (I use a 7×7 inch tin which is just the right size. A 7 inch sandwich tin works too) and cook at gas 4/180c for about half an hour. Score into slices when it’s still hot and then refrigerate overnight (if you can wait that long) or a couple of hours should do it. In the morning it should come out of the tin easily enough but a bit of wiggling with a weaning spoon or something else plastic will loosen it up. Then you can cut it into slices or just eat the whole lot.

If you want to do the maple icing then melt a couple of desert spoons of maple flavoured golden syrup in a saucepan until it’s runny and then stir in some icing sugar until it’s a bit goopy. Then drizzle it on top of the flapjacks before you slice them all up.

Don’t worry if you don’t have the time to make any, I’ll be bringing some along to the November meeting.

Happy baking!

Love Caz

Stay tuned for news about the next meeting!

Please bring any questions and experiences you’d like to share. We’ll also discuss the topic “The Meaning of Weaning”. There’s a lot of conflicting information out there. We’ll try to discuss common questions such as: What is weaning? What’s the difference between mother-led and baby-led weaning? Is there a difference between weaning and a nursing strike? Is breastfeeding still beneficial after 6 months? a year? more than a year? How much solids should a mother expect her child to eat? When should a little one stop breastfeeding completely?

Thank you, Sarah, Co-leader from LLL Cambridge for joining us and thank you LLL Bedford for the fun meeting idea.

World Breastfeeding Week is celebrated every year from 1 to 7 August in more than 170 countries to encourage breastfeeding and improve the health of babies around the world.

The managers, Sue and Pete, gave us a personal donation to help us continue promoting breastfeeding in the area.

After the photo, we ran off to Riverside Park, to do more celebrating of World Breastfeeding Week at our picnic.
