📣IMPORTANT UPDATE - Baby of the year 2025📣
Firstly, thank you so much to all the wonderful families who have taken part in this year's Baby of the year competition. We were so excited to launch the voting yesterday!

However, shortly after the album went live, we received numerous messages from parents letting us know that their baby's photo had disappeared from the voting album. We want to reassure everyone the we have not removed any images. This appears to be a Facebook glitch affecting the album.

As some babies had already received votes before their photos disappeared, we understand how upsetting and unfair this feels. After discussing this in depth, we have made the decision that the fairest solution for everyone is to restart the voting from scratch.

✨The Baby of the year 2025 album will be re-uploaded on Monday 8th December at midday, and voting will restart from ZERO.

⌛The closing date will remain the same as previously stated, Friday 2nd January at midday.

We know this situation is frustrating and we appreciate your patience and understanding. Our goal is to make this competition fair, enjoyable and exciting for all families involved.

Thank you again for being part of our Baby of the year 2025 💛
