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

Peace of mind please

I shot up at 4am last night and had the urge to check my little boy who sleeps in a cot next to our bed.
For the first time he has rolled over and was sleeping on his stomach, my heart dropped.
I was so scared that I picked him up to make sure he was okay and he was just sound asleep…

What are we supposed to do if they roll over in their sleep?! He’s almost 6 months old and I’m prettified of him rolling and it being a different outcome if I don’t wake up..

Just need some peace of mind that this is
okay?

6m old not sleeping

My 6m old won’t sleep. He goes bed at 8/8.30. He’ll sleep until 3am and then he just wakes up like he’s ready for the day.
He’s not hungry, cold, too hot, not teething ect but it’s been going on for about a week. He then won’t go back to sleep until 5ish then he wakes every single morning at 7 on the dot. I’m exhausted. Anyone got any tips on helping this because he’s then so mardy throughout the day due to lack of sleep.

Moving 18 week old to her own room

Just looking for some advice really. I know at this age (18 weeks) she will most likely be going through sleep regression BUT I have been thinking for a while now about the time to put her in her own cot.. she’s in a next to me one at the moment and is constantly hitting the sides with her feet and she’s waking up so so much! Has any other mums moved their babies to their own room?

We have the owlet sock and camera so of course would keep an eye on her and I’m planning on sleeping in the room with her to begin with just to see if she sleeps any better. I know it’s advised 6 months due to SIDS but feel as though we would all get better sleep

I don’t really know what to do as me and my partner are EXHAUSTED

P.s she does nap through the day really well in her own bed so she is used to it

Do you prefer to wear a bra or go braless?

Solely based on comfort.

I see so many comments of people saying bras are uncomfortable and I can’t be the only one who finds wearing a bra MORE comfortable than not?

How are you BOTH getting sleep with a newborn?! 😴

Hey mamas 🤍

Looking for any advice or tips on how to protect a few hours of sleep for both me and my partner 🙏

We have a 5-week-old who usually wakes around 12/1/2am (depending on bedtime), and then again around 3/4/5am. My partner works from 7am to 5pm usually, so evenings can feel a bit full-on, and nights are quite broken at the moment (which I understand is quite normal!).

We’re combi feeding, as in the baby has expressed breast milk during the day, and we switch to formula overnight.

Would love to hear what’s worked for you from shifts, routines, anything that helped you both get a bit more rest 💭✨
