Do you have to book for 1 year vaccinations?

My boy turned 1 on Thursday and I haven’t received an appointment letter for his jabs… do you have to ring up or do they still send the letters out? Thanks

I think it depends on where you are but either way doesn’t hurt to just call and book. I knew ours would be around the time nursery started + I was going back to work so we called a couple months early back in like November to get it scheduled.

Ahh I thought we just had to wait for the appointment to come through… never had to book for his jabs

You have to book this one x

We got a letter about a week ago about booking it for after the 19th. I did call them but they had no dates ready yet so going to call back on Monday and book x

Ahh right I’ll phone them tomorrow x

I would just call so you can get a convenient date!

We got ours through post if you haven’t received maybe call your GP and they should advise you further xx

My little boy was 1 on the 21st Jan and still not heard anything……. I really need to ring them x

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

Combi feeding advice

Has anyone gone from EBF to combi feeding? Currently do one bottle of EBM per night and they one half formula half breast milk mixed in the day. The other times she still feeds on me. Ideally I want to feed all day via bottle and all night with breast. She’s 7 weeks and takes a bottle well, how long should I leave it before adding another bottle to her daily routine?

Self settling

Any tips or advice of how to teach 6.5month old to self settle? I’m up multiple times in the night to cuddle her back to sleep and put the dummy in. I understand she will wake up and want a cuddle etc but any tips on self settling would be appreciated 🥰
