Frequently asked questions

What is the one thing new parents most consistently forget to prepare?
The car seat — specifically, having it professionally fitted and checked before the birth rather than the day of hospital discharge. Many hospitals will not allow a baby to leave without a properly fitted seat. The second most commonly forgotten: registering with an NHS GP for the baby (can be done before birth at most practices). Third: printing the newborn feeding log for the health visitor visit at day 5.
Is it really free?
Yes — no email, no sign-up.
Can I print it more than once?
