from the babyworld shop team
Just because your baby can't eat chocolate yet, doesn't mean they
can't have a wonderful Easter too! We've taken 15% off anything
with a 'Bunnies' theme so you'll find lots of little gems in our
Easter
Gift Ideas section - Kaloo rabbits, Trudi ducks and chicks,
Peter Rabbit Grobags and Peter Rabbit Stickarounds. And if you're
trying to limit the choccy treats that your toddler is consuming
how about a Tomy
Eggy Weggy, a bathtime fizzer with a surprise squirter,
or a Nano
Egg, a mesmerising miniature scene inside an egg? Heaps
of fun and no cavities!

Sugar
sense for families 
We don't want to be kill-joys but there is always a lot of debate
on our forums about how to manage kids' insatiable appetite for
all things sweet. As Easter, the biggest sweet-fest of the year,
is just around the corner we take a look at the role sugar plays
in children's diets and suggest ways to control a potentially sweet
tooth!
How
my breasts saved the world
We loved the title of this book - but did it live up to its promises
of a great read? babyworld's bookclub regularly reviews books that
we think will inspire, entertain or inform you. So, put the kettle
on and join us for a good read....
Every
child born on or after 1st September 2002 is eligible for a Child
Trust Fund account
Launched in 2005, the Child Trust Fund is a new savings and investment
account designed to give children a financial head start in life
and to help teach them the value of saving.
All eligible children will automatically receive a £250 voucher
from the Government to kick-start their Child Trust Fund account.
Children born before 6th April will receive a slightly larger initial
payment. To find out more visit www.childtrustfund.gov.uk
New
baby - new tax credits
Nine out of 10 families with children are entitled to tax credits!
Whether you are already receiving tax credits or haven't yet claimed
- why not make sure you are getting what you are entitled to? Once
your new baby arrives let the Inland Revenue know that your circumstances
have changed.
It's easy - just visit www.inlandrevenue.gov.uk/taxcredits

Egg-sactly
As this is the month that eggs get mentioned a lot, we decided to
take a look at the world of eggs from a fertility point of view.
PDG, or pre-implantation genetics, is a hot subject, in which only
'healthy' embryos are implanted in the womb, creating a 'designer
baby'. Find out more about this controversial assisted conception
treatment.
Poo-ey moments!
We have found them in a closet, in the flowerbeds and smeared over
walls - we're talking poo - and that's just our experiences of potty
training our tots! What are yours?! Tell us your funny, frustrating
and messy potty-training stories plus your tips for success and
the first 10 entries will each receive a Tomy
Eggy Weggy bathtime fizzer. Please send your story to:
community@babyworld.co.uk
