Baby savings account

Looking to open an account for my son for his 1st Birthday, to then gift him on his 18th birthday.
I figured even if I can put £10 a month in then that's still over 2k.
Does anyone have one that they can't recommend?

I just opened accounts for both my girls with my bank- im with Bank of Scotland. They got their account numbers and sort codes. Money can be put in by anyone that has the details. I can only check how much they have in there by going into my bank other than that, nobody can access it but them once they are 18

Junior isa is a good option, they get access to it when they are 18. We got ours with Hargreaves landsdown, making pretty good returns currently!

I like the idea of premium bonds, that way money is safe and bonds are in with a chance of winning every month

@Alice what happens when the account gets £50,000? Can you make another account or is it maxed & there's nothing you can do?

Is this normal?

Is this little red bit on my section scar normal? It’s not oozing anything, doesn’t hurt but it’s the only bit on my scar like it so just curious! (19 days PP)
Thank you in advance! 🥰

Post yours below so we can see all the beautiful bumps and mamas. Pregnancy is such a mind game let's see all the different bumps to see reality of how every pregnancy is different. Congratulations mamas as we wrap up the second trimester and start the last stretch! 26w and 4d over here. Have a good day!

Anyone else felt like this?

Hi, I’m 4 months postpartum, little one sleeps through the night and is formula fed, the last week I’ve felt extremely tired and very hungry! Just wondered if anyone else has felt this way/experienced this?

Early waters/pre term labour?

I can’t get checked until later today unfortunately. I can’t tell if I’m leaking/starting early. I definitely think I’m having braxton hicks yesterday and today.. i have some pain in my back but she is quite low down so hoping it’s just pressure, baby was a little quieter yesterday but she’s back to more normal movements today, but my underwear just seems to get so wet, especially after going to the bathroom. And I honestly can’t work out the smell, I’m pretty sure it’s just discharge/urine leaking but there’s that worry in my mind a little. Are there any other ways to know/check if it could be the start of it all?
