Urgent Care is on Glasgow Road but not open overnight. Overnight is Middlemore. Unfortunately there is currently no overnight urgent medical facility in Franklin.

Who would have thought you could share a Queen size bed while staying at Pukekohe Primary Birthing Unit after the birth of your baby. Big enough for two this is our new addition in supporting new mums to have their partner stay too. Room for two midwives even....

National Safe Sleep Day was last week and we had four Merino sleeping bags to give away. The safe sleep message is always important but perhaps more so in winter when you feel the need to snuggle your little one close. Remember all babies/infants need their own safe sleep place without pillows and toys. Keep their face clear and away from smokers. Lying your baby on her/his allows the gag reflex to work properly and the throat to be clear. We supply pepe pods and wahakura but may be able to help you source a cot as baby grows.
