Useful Weblinks

I realised that for the past 2 years, I had spent alot of time researching and reading up on childcare. Here is a list of some informative sites (thank God for blogs, cos I got most of them by reading other mummies' blogs)

I have not had the time to read all the sites yet, so some may be better than others, but all contain somewhat interesting and useful information.

I hope that by sharing this list here, that I can help others save time scouting around for similar information. I will try to update this list with any new finds I am lucky enough to chance upon.
