Timing of added gov funding... childcare payment

Can anyone say how long it takes for the government to top up the account with the extra 20% once you pay money into it? We start nursery end of May but not sure when they will ask for payment, and so just wondering how long it takes for you to see the gov help in the account? Hope that makes sense! X

Am I overfeeding my baby with solids

Hi ladies How much solid food are you giving your baby? Mine is 6 months old now. I’m breastfeeding and she nurses well, but I’m also giving her solids. Her poop has changed a lot.
