January 2006 - February 2006
With the New Year in full swing, it's time to sort
out your finances while you have the chance. This month, we take a second look at the government
payments that you'll be entitled to receive once your baby is born and how best to invest them.
We've also put together some top tips to ensure that you have everything you need to baby-proof
your house before you bring your little one home. We've got news of the next baby-signing
event and the latest new store opening. And you could also win a baby-signing DVD - we've
got five up for grabs!
If you have any comments or suggestions on how we can improve Baby Matters, we'd love to
hear from you!
In our
last issue, we
looked at the government's Child Trust Fund, Child Tax Credit and Working Tax
Credit initiatives. This month, we see how you can make the most of the
money that you're entitled to receive. Now that every child born on or after 1st
September 2002 is entitled to a Child Trust Fund voucher
worth at least £250, it's important that you know how you can put the money to good use.

Babies learn and develop so quickly that it's easy to be taken by surprise when they become
mobile. Naturally curious and keen to explore, adventurous babies often seem to be accident
magnets. The thought of having your child let loose around the home can fill you with joy
or with dread so to make sure it's the former, it's important to be prepared. Whether
you're worried about what can happen to your baby or your home, we've got some ideas to
help protect them both!
