This is a really good read by Julia Banim on the UNILAD website – with interviews and comments from new parents up and down the country, talking about how they’ve gone about raising their babies during a very challenging year indeed.
It talks about how we’ve seen rules changed and changed again, backtracking politicians and drive-by birthday parties, heated arguments over scotch eggs and substantial pizza slices.
All very surreal, yet through it all, babies up and down the UK will have been babbling away quite happily, blissfully unaware of their historically significant birthdays as they push up teeth, find their toes and become perfectly accustomed to daddy popping on a mask when out to get cereal.
