How long from applying did it take for you to receive your child benefit! also if you added them onto an existing claim do you think that made it quicker? Will I probably just wait until next child benefit is due next month to receive anything?

Surely, if your kids are vaxed, they're protected?? Not hating on anyone, just genuinely curious.

Is anyone struggling with collecting colostrum? I am 39 weeks tomorrow and have been trying for just over a week and am getting nothing. Any tips? Anyone had it take time like this?
