Could you donate a gift for a child this Christmas? 🎄

I work for and run all the antenatal, baby cafe and baby massage classes for families in the local area. We are looking for gift donations for local families in need this Christmas.

It may be hard to believe but we work with and support many families that are unable to afford gifts for their babies this year. If you are in the position to help you can drop gift donations to any of my classes or any of the charity collection points and we will ensure your gifts will go directly to local families in Cambuslang and Rutherglen.

Thanks in advance for your generosity this Christmas! 🎄

I’m so excited to let you know will be doing a pop up sling meet at baby breakfast club on Monday 6 Oct from 10-1130am.

Come along and have a free chat and try on carriers to find the best type of sling/carrier for you and your baby!

Option to hire from Glasgow sling library and try it out or they have discounts if you want to order new!

Or if you have a carrier already why not come and get a £5 fit check to ensure you are wearing it properly and safely carrying your baby.

If you are breastfeeding or combi feeding the NHS recommends you supplement your babies vitamin D intake.

It’s not that breast milk is deficient in vitamin D, it’s that humans get the majority of their vitamin D from the sun not food!

In certain counties research finds that certain groups of people may not be able to get the amount of vitamin D they need without supplementation. Here in Scotland and the rest of the UK due to our lack of sunshine we are one of those recommended countries, and babies and young people are one of the groups.

Current UK guidance is that breastfed babies, and babies who are combi fed but having less than 500mls formula per day, be supplemented, from birth, with 8.5 to 10 micrograms daily. Formula milk has the supplement added, so over 500mls a day and no additional supplement is required.

If you come along to Rutherglen baby cafe where we are registered nhs vitamin distribution centre you can pick up vitamin D drops and healthy start vitamins for free!

Posted • A new genetic test that reduces the risk of deafness in newborn babies is being introduced by NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde as part of a national rollout funded by the Scottish Government.

The rapid point-of-care Genedrive test, which will launch in September, identifies a genetic variant that can cause permanent hearing loss when babies are treated with the common antibiotic Gentamicin. It allows for more tailored care, with babies identified to have the variant provided with an alternative antibiotic.
Yesterday Public Health Minister Jenni Minto visited the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at the Royal Hospital for Children, where the test will be introduced first, to see a demonstration of how it works.

National adoption of the test will be supported by the Chief Scientist Office-funded Accelerated National Innovation Adoption pathway, which is led by the Centre for Sustainable Delivery.

Farewell Event for Caroline Kane

The wonderful Homebirth Midwife Caroline Kane is retiring soon and I’m helping share the details of the farewell event being organised for her and all those whose birth journey she’s been part of as you and your ‘babies’ are all invited!

Saturday 20th September
Please drop anytime between 1300-1600
Clinic J, New Victoria Hospital

A light buffet will be served but you’re welcome to bring your own lunch if preferred.

There will be a message jar for Caroline to leave any little notes for her about your journey and the part she played in it, if you are able to bring any written messages.

Any photos you may wish to share are welcome.

Also if possible to bring an article of your baby’s clothing you may still have, like a babygrow. Someone is going to create a string of bunting using these for Caroline’s send off with her hospital colleagues at a later date. It’s realised though these items are often sentimental and you may prefer to keep them.

Most importantly, it is hoped all the families in the Homebirth community who wish and are able to join in wishing Caroline a fond farewell to the career you have helped shape and she has so loved 🥰
