Here’s a clearly laid out baby advice and information website, where you can read their guides on all the stages of pregnancy, giving birth and afterwards, as well as use their product directory if you’re looking for something specific.

Everything is clearly laid out; the menus are excellent and you can quickly reach the section you’re looking for.

This service will be an absolute boon for anyone who’s had a baby (or about to have a baby) and needs their time back urgently.

You consult with them (by phone or in person) about all your forthcoming needs – nursery, travel products etc which they’ll help you select according to your lifestyle. Then they’ll arrange for them to be delivered when you want them. There is a consultation fee (of course) but otherwise products will be at the RRP. If you think you might need them, have a look round their beautifully designed website.

The minute your children are even hinting that they want access to a computer you need this website. Chatdanger has been created to inform young people (and parents) about the potential dangers and ways of keeping safe in interactive areas online, such as chatrooms, instant messenger, online games and email, and also mobile phones. All parents need to read this, and you should also go through the seminar at www.kidsmart.org.uk. Believe me, whatever you say to them, your child will inevitably try and do something online you’re not happy with. You need to be prepared.

Many parents have no idea how these services work or what children are up to when using them. If your child is at that age you need to know everything possible.

Midwives Online has been set up to give you lots of advice and information on pregnancy, birth and breastfeeding in particular.

Don’t do this if you need help urgently, they don’t guarantee a quick response.

There’s plenty of information on every aspect of being a mother and baby at home plus product reviews on all types of equipment, feeding, sleeping, babycare and playtime.

I love what they say here: ‘we've … tried to take a sideways view of family life. Kids can make you cry, scream, and tear your hair but they can make you laugh a lot too. Don't keep it to yourself - come and share the joke at raisingkids.co.uk.’ So this is not just a baby website, although they cover everything from babies to teens and beyond (so maybe I need this one), but a place where you can ‘ask the experts’, talk to other parents, read the latest news and features for parents and find out about developments in education. It’s an excellent place to have a look round.

This may not be a baby advice website, nor an online baby magazine, but it’s somewhere I definitely recommend you take a look if you need help to stay organised (and who doesn’t with children?). At Organised Mum you can buy diaries, wall charts, calendars, stickers and the wonderful ‘Family Organiser’ which I would definitely buy if I thought for a moment my family would help me use it properly by providing the necessary information.
