BY TELEPHONE VOTING Once you have made your choice, all you have to do is call: 0901 221 adding the four digits under the child of your choice.

For example, if it was entry number 1234 that you'd like to win, simply dial 0901 221 1234.

BY TEXT VOTING Once you have made your choice, all you have to do is send your text to 88010 starting with mwbaby. Leave a space and then the four digits under the baby/toddler of your choice.
