ways to save money on a baby?

Question

I need to know every way I can save money while providing for a baby. I know getting a bassinet and using that for a while saves a lot, & i plan on breastfeeding, anything else? thank you

Answer

Skip the bassinet and get a pack n play with the newborn insert.  It will last way longer than a bassinet

Answer

Cloth diapers!

Answer

Skip all the extra stuff. All baby needs are clothes to wear, a place to sleep, nourishment (in your case breastfeeding), some diapers, and your love!!

For extra things the main things I actually used were my boppy and a baby tub.

Answer

Cut back on
Cable bill, phone bill, apply for WIC benefits, but second hand items.
My town has a once upon a child, I got her bouncer for 20 dollars practically brand new. My SO dropped at garage sales the day we left from our first Drs appointment and found a handmade cradle that an older lady's grandfather had made and was passed down through her family. She only charges us 20 dollars and wished us luck 😍

Answer

My biggest thing is second hand, it's the best. Plus she has a bigger sister so everything handed down. Although I didn't keep anything earlier then twelve months. But Facebook groups in your local area with people selling baby items are the best because it is way cheaper then buying in store and sometimes even cheaper then once upon a child. We have a mommy and baby group that is large and I bought second hand things for such good prices. We got our baby monitor (worth around 250$) for 40$ and we got our bassinet for 40$ and was only bought and used for two months

Answer

Check to see if you have the resale store Once Upon A Time. They sell baby clothes and equipment for less than half of retail. I.e. strollers for $40-50, etc.

Answer

I still use it for nap time and my daughter is almost a year old

Answer

Pack n' play w/infant sleep tray
Bumbo
Breastfeed
Load up at hospital with freebies
Free breast pump via insurance/gov
Use anlarge purse for baby bag
Used stroller
Register for diapers, car seat, wipes
Consignment clothes
Baby wear! Great for getting things done and not using a stroller.

My baby had been practically free the first year outside of food (6 mos +), diapers, and basic toys.

Answer

Technically you can use the newborn insert until they start pulling up.  Then take that out and use it as a crib if you can't afford a crib. They make mattresses to put in the pack n play that would be more comfortable than the one that comes with it.

Answer

We bought a majority of our stuff second hand or had freebies given to us. My family is helping out a lot as well. Taking people's suggestions on what babies don't need for the first few months.  Don't stock up too much on newborn things as they grow so fast. Um. Baby bullet and making your own baby food isn't hard and doesn't cost much. We also cut off our cable. We just watch netflix. Lol
