How do I receive weekly newsletters?
On registering with the site tick the box at the bottom of the page. Our weekly newsletter will offer you a personal progress report on you and your baby, outline new content relevant to you and update you on what your freinds and groups have been up to on the site. Watch our video tutorial on how to change your gurgle account settings here.

My weekly emails have stopped – why is this?
When your baby gets to his first birthday we will send you monthly emails instead of weekly emails – we hope you don’t mind, but baby’s growth and development slows down from one year onwards, so we are responding to the babies!

How do I stop my weekly newsletters?
Please click on the unsubscribe link at the bottom of your weekly email. Watch our video tutorial on how to change your gurgle account settings here.
