York

Hi does anyone have any recommendations of who to go with?

Are there any mums in the acomb/copmanthorpe area wanting to make friends? I have an 11 month old but don't really have any mum friends with babies and the one I do have is the other side of York so it would be nice to meet some mums that are local

Does anyone know how often you’re supposed to see the health visitor? I have a two month old and we’ve seen her once I think in the first few weeks and haven’t heard anything since

Hi all! Family and I are moving to York. We’ve been trying to find a good area to live (from 150 miles away which means we can only visit in short bursts) and like the look of Bishopthorpe, but saw some stuff online about being able to smell the waste water plant in Naburn from there which makes us nervous.

So, if you live in Bishopthorpe, how often does it smell and how bad is it? A family member advised us it doesn’t smell (as much? At all?) north of Main Street. Any truth to that?

Any advice or experience you could give would be very much appreciated!

If you want to suggest another area, we’re looking for somewhere that has nice things we can walk to (library, coffee shops, pubs, etc) within the school catchment of a good school. Preferably somewhere with a nice community vibe and other young families. It needs to have good access to the A64 for my husband and York train station for me. Bishopthorpe felt like the perfect fit on paper, but potentially open to other options.

Does anyone have a routine they are following for their two month old? Or do you think it's too early for a routine just yet? We are just going with the flow right now 🫣
