We havnt got our LO christend so no god parents, what would happen? grandparents?

This is something we need to formally discuss.
In immediate terms it would be my mother and stepfather. We're also lucky that I have two brothers and a lovely SIL.

Hazel isn't christened, but she has two sets of guideparents x

Joe hasn't been christened yet, but we have formally asked my twin siter & her husband to be his legal guardian's til he's 18. My twin is also his godmother too.

You could put it in your will.

Not legally binding putting someone down as godparent. I would have it in a will

My mum has had it specified in her will that I am in charge of my sisters aged 15 and 13 months if she dies. I can then decide who they go to e.g. their dads or other relative if I do not want the responsibility. I am happy with this arrangement due to the situation with their dad's not being stable.

i think i may look into a will, grim thought but its Morgans best intrest and safety if the worst did happen
i think id want my mum or uncle and his OH to look after her if we werent able to x
