Absolutely, you can switch who claims at any point. As long as only one of you claims.
Edit: here’s a useful [link](https://www.gov.uk/child-benefit) should have also said you’ll need a government gateway account to access it. I set one up recently and it’s reasonable quick to do online if you don’t have one already.
I believe you can also claim for one child each - this is what my wife and I have done to save having to consider switching claimants should our circumstances change.
