My baby girl is 2 now, and I’m 30 weeks pregnant with another girl..
Family and friends for birthdays and special occasions send monies instead of buying gifts. I would like to put all that money together somewhere in the account and save it for her but I have no idea what to go for. There’s so much out there. I feel closest to Junior ISA, but so many providers and investing combinations it’s overwhelming how not informed and financially educated I am at this point ☹️☹️
What do you guys do? Any advice will help
Thanks

We use junior stocks and shares isas for our kids. We have them with vanguard but lots of places offer them.
We put £100 a month per child in and any random other money they receive if it's not being used for something specific. My 6 year old has just over £13.5k in there now just from doing that. My 3 year old has £5.8k from doing the same.
The only thing about it is that it is THEIR money. As in, you can't access it at all so don't put any money you may need access to in there. They get access when they're 18.

Similar to I've got a Junior ISA with MoneyBox for my 2yo that I add money to when I can as I'm aware I can't access it until she's 18.
