My son was given his pre school vaccine today. Which is the 4 in 1 booster vaccine. A while later the doctor phoned and said she had given him the wrong one and had given him the 6 in 1 vaccination that she was sorry and there’s no cause for concern that he will have extra dosage of what he wasn’t supposed to get! Tried to reassure me but I’m so angry about this and getting worse the more I think about how dangerous the situation could have been! Everyone makes mistakes but when it comes to trusting what your child is being given by doctors this is an absolute disgrace!!! Has this happened anybody? What would you do? I’ve googled and it says it’s fine and not to worry but I’m just so angry and hate myself for letting this happen and trusting the doctor on what she’s give to my child

Being the overthinker I am, I would also be fuming!!!! Personally I’d put in a complaint. Mistakes happen but the outcome could have been so different if a complete different thing was given. So unsafe. Sorry you’re having to deal with this x

Its annoying they got it wrong but not harmful. It’s mostly the same things that it covers so he will just have a booster effectively of the flu and Heb B. I decided to give my daughter the seasonal flu nasal along with the 4 in 1 pre school booster so there’s really barely a difference between the two types.

I would not be happy- vaccinations are tough enough!! Atleast they called you, could have easily not told you!
When did yours start to stop?
I’m 7 months pp and it started around 4 months pp but it’s making me feel so sh*t with the amount I’ve lost.
I take vitamins and eat well and I just want it to stop 🥲

We have just found out my MIL has cancer. We are devastated, trying to process it, honestly I'm still in shock. The woman is one of the healthiest people I knew up until this.
I have a two year old and a 9 month old. I'm trying to support my husband as best I can but I'm really concerned about my 2 year old. We took her to the hospital to see her grandma before she goes on the chemo ward, because kids aren't allowed on there for risk of infection. Totally understand that but how do I explain to her where grandma has gone or why she can't see her? She's already picking up on the vibe that things aren't right and she's worried and clingy, I've told her grandma is poorly and she's at the Dr in bed so they can make her healthy again. I didn't loose a grandparent until I was 7 and by then I'd had two hamsters so I kinda understood what death was. But how do you talk about that without scaring the shit out of a younger child. I'm trying to stay positive but if it comes to that how do I tell her. I told her it's normal for people to feel sad sometimes and daddy is crying because he's sad that grandma is poorly. It's so horrible I just don't know what to do or say to help either of them. We are gonna take it in turns to visit her going forward, try to keep her company. It's going to be a hard few months ahead. Any advice on any of it really appreciated.

What would you do?
My partner took our little girl to my mums, after just coming to pick her up, no heads up, so that ruined the plans i already had with her, they have just got home and i found out my aunt cut her hair. Her first haircut and i missed it because no one told me, didn’t even ask if it was ok, i have made it clear so many times i want to be there when she has her first haircut cut. And this wish was denied. I feel upset that i missed it but mainly annoyed. Am i being silly?

Anyone else find it weird that the amount you get from the healthy start card drops after your child turns 1?
Before 1 : £34 a month
After 1 : £18.60 as month

Hello all, my little girl 8 months old sleeps through the night but wakes up soaking wet in the morning where her nappy has leaked through to her clothes. I’ve tried Aldi, Lidl, Tesco, and pampers and they all leak….does anyone have any other brands that might work 🤷🏽♀️

My little boy is just turning 6 months and I can not get him to sleep for longer than 2/3 hours at a time overnight. We’ve tried late bed time, early bed time- he falls asleep about 7 whether we like it or not and thinks it’s bed time. I’ve just tried moving him into his own room to see if we are the problems and no improvements. He’s up around 5-10 times every night, I end up breastfeeding to comfort him which often gets him back to sleep but then he almost never transfers into his own cot! Any ideas? I know maybe I’m setting myself up to fail by cosleeping in the middle of the night but when it’s 3am I’ll do it for a minutes rest? Any tips or ideas appreciated thanks all xx
