A long time ago, well 2000 actually, I started to really get into the Internet community. I?d had Internet for a long time, but by 1999-2000 more & more stuff became available online & due to an increased amount of time on my hands, due to leaving work & having my first son, I started to use the Internet more & more. As a new parent I was looking for friendship and reassurance from other parents, so I joined Motherandbaby.co.uk. This was a fantastic online parenting magazine site with a chat room & forum boards & thanks to M&B as we called it, I made many online friends that I still have today. We all were very fond of M&B and chatted night after night about all ...  Read the complete review

When you have a baby you are faced with soo many decisions and time is so little. The health visitors, doctors, friends and magazines all offer advice, but can naever offer help on everything you need to know. WELL Thank Goodness for Helen Humphries, this lady set up UKPARENTS and it has everything under the sun. The home page where you register is laid out similar to a magazine cover and in effect it is a online magazine, where some features change daily, some weekly others monthly. There are so many sections to this site, I have been there nearly two years and still havent visited it all. There are advice pages from toddler ...  Read the complete review

I always check out ukparents when I'm surfing as it is a great place to find friends and pick up tips on childcare. I especially love the Buy and Sell forum where you can pick up some bargains and offload clothes/equipment that is not useful to you anymore. People who use the site are friendly and you can get to know people through the chatroom and the forums. There is also a shop which has lovely things but can be expensive, they sell clothes, pushchairs etc. Ukparents can help you out with a problem and also give you support when things aren't going too well!!! ...  Read the complete review

I came across UK parents when I had my first child Emma. I am a first time mum and it has been so helpful. It has a list of forums from pre-pregnancy right up to teenagers, so you just click on the age group applicable to you and you can let out all your moans and groans. Half of the time you don't need to write your problems because if you have a look down the lists you will find that someone else had that problem a few weeks earlier. It is mainly other mothers that answer but there is a site just for dads too. You also have a buying and selling forum, pesky kids forum, health issues forum, the lists go on and on. If you are a parent you will find a site ...  Read the complete review
