New parents missing out on date nights following their new arrival

Having a baby is a life-changing event, not just emotionally, but financially and socially too. With studies showing babies can cost as much as £11,498 in the first year, it’s no surprise mum and dad’s social life is often put on hold. In fact, new research from Aldi Mamia has found that 78% of first-time parents have had fewer or no date-nights since baby arrived with nearly half (49%) citing less money than before as the main reason.

Top things to look for when choosing a babysitter

Children are your most vulnerable and precious people in your life. They don’t stay babies for long and before you know it you’ve got to keep an eagle eye on what they’re up to. What are they about to put in their mouth, what are they about to grab hold of, where have they disappeared off to and why is it so quiet all of a sudden. Let’s face it, us parents spend our lives worrying, overthinking, over planning and on high alert most of the time! So when it comes to babysitters, you’re going to expect the same level of responsibility from anyone into whose care you entrust your precious bundles, whatever their age.
