Hi
It does state what is needed on the form, but i realise you are concerned that you may not have enough evidence.

When i helped my husband apply i counted all letters etc. i,e you should send at least the last 3 months of payslips, bills, bank statements etc, i counted each one seperately. With regards to her occupation, i suggest if there is nowhere you can state it, just write a cover letter.

Assuming your child will have a British passport therefore do not need to send their passport etc, make sure you send the following

-Yours/Wife Passport
-Yours/Wife recent passport sized photo with names on back
-From you/mother (and wife where possible) Bank statements, wage slips
-Letter from your mother confirming she will support her and her financial resources (last 3months)
-Send any letters addressed to you both at your present address
-If lacking the above send 4-5 letters addressed to one of you and 1-2 letters addressed to the other to prove you live together.
-Where you are unable to provide any documents and lack in this, ensure you give an explanation (on a seperate sheet of paper)

Hope this is of help and makes sense!
Good luck
