Ill effects of the baby boom

On Friday I heard a woman say to her children ‘Hasn’t this holiday gone quick. I can’t believe it’s already over.

Not a moment too soon for some of us.

There can be no doubt about the current baby boom – the numbers of under 5s out & about just keeps on increasing, now that so many of them have a date with school or nursery during term time.

They have to be entertained, distracted, given treats. As one young mum explained to me a while back, her two year old just can’t understand why she can’t go to see her friends at nursery.

Public health officials should be issuing advice to the rest of us about how to avoid half term flu.
