BABYHOOD doesn't seem to last long enough. One minute they're a babe in arms, the next you're waving them off to college.

But you can record the milestones of your baby's life and help raise funds for WellBeing, the health research charity for women and babies, by buying a copy of the Bonny Baby Birthday Book.

Sponsored by Newsquest, the owners of SUM, and Cow & Gate, the 16 page full colour birthday book features winners of the Bonny Baby competition run in Newsquest newspapers throughout the country last summer - including our very own winner Bronte Dallas-Cross.

Important medical checks dates such as when vaccinations are due and health checks as well as the significant 'first' events such as words, teeth and steps can be recorded in the Birthday Book to form a permanent reminder of the first five years of your child's life

Proceeds from the sale of the book will be added to the £10,000 already raised by the Bonny Baby competition by Newsquest readers for the charity's medical research into the better health of women and babies.

Copies are £2.50 each (including postage and packing) and can be ordered over the phone by credit card from WellBeing on 0171 262 5337 or by sending a cheque (made payable to WellBeing) to WellBeing, 27, Sussex Place, London NW1 4SP.
