I’ve done it, however it was on a weekday so not sure how it is on a Saturday. It was lunchtime so had to wait a little bit as it was busy but I could just walk in and give my info

It’s not open on weekends but here’s the information “Our maternity vaccination hub is in the antenatal department, level 4 Leazes Wing, RVI.
The clinic runs Monday to Thursday from 8.30am to 7.30pm. On Fridays, it is open from 8.30am to 4pm. If you are planning to drop in after 4.30pm, give us a call first to let us know.
There is a drop-in option, or, you can call the vaccination team on 0191 282 9939 to arrange an appointment. The vaccination hub does not run on bank holidays.
“

I did it for all mine, it was quick and easy. Flu and whooping cough I got after my 20 week scan cause I was already there. RSV I just went up for it, I feel like the women who works there might of told me it’s only Monday to Friday so I would say to call and check? Xx

amazing thanks everyone! my midwife didn’t mention they weren’t open on weekends so thanks for that info too 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? 🥲

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 🥰

Baby losing weight

Hi all, it's been a long time since I had a baby (my son is 15!). My daughter is 10 days old and was 9lb born, she has since lost weight at every appointment and is at a 12% loss. I am breast feeding every two hours for over an hour and topping her up every feed. I pump and can get 60ml in 10 minutes so I know my supply is okay. Anyone had this before? Can give me some tips? I currently feel like I'm letting my baby down.
