If you’re parenting a child aged 0–5 - or you’ve already been through the early years - we’d love to hear from you. What’s one thing that’s helped your child thrive so far, or one piece of advice you’d share with another parent at a similar stage?

It could be something small but genuinely helpful - for example, around feeding or weaning, building that early bond, settling your child into childcare, or helping them feel ready for school. We’re especially keen to hear practical tips or real-life experiences that made a positive difference and could help other parents right now.

Share one tip or experience that made a difference for your child’s early years by 14th February for a chance to win a £200 VEX voucher (Mumsnet T&Cs).

And if you want to read up on different stages as your child grows, the government’s Best Start in Life website brings together trusted, NHS-approved guidance to support you at every stage.
