What can i claim

Options
Hi all,

Me and my wife are hopefully going to be trying for our first child soon and was wondering which benefits we would be able to claim. I have tried to look on different sites but its all very complicated and so many scenarios! I know we could claim Child Benefit but unsure what else.
When the baby arrives she would continue to work 30-37 hours as has a better wage and I would work about 16 hours per week as a delivery driver.

At present:
My wife earns approx 20k and i earn 17k

When the baby arrives:
She would work 30-37 hours and i would work about 16 hours and look after the baby.
