Whether you are expecting your first baby or are the parent of a teenager, you are bound to be aware that bringing up children is not cheap. But, as this practical and independent financial handbook shows, you may not have to shoulder the entire burden yourself.

Financial institutions tend to worry parents with statistics about how much money they should be saving for their children. The Which? Guide to Financing Your Child's Future sorts the facts from the scaremongering, giving you the lowdown on what you are really up against. Packed with tips, charts and real-life case histories, the book covers:

• the cost of childcare
• the expenses involved in education -- from school through the gap year to university
• how to help your child to get a foot on the property ladder
• the essential financial changes you should make when you become a parent, such as making a will and buying life insurance
• the best ways to save for your children
• the steps that parents and grandparents can take to minimise tax on gifts to children.
