Having a new baby is always a joy, but let’s face it, in the same time it also means a lot of cash ready to be burned.
It is just natural that you, as a parent, would like to offer the best of everything to the little one. The first temptation that you have to get over in this case is to fall into excessive shopping. You can get everything you need and still not to go bankrupt.
Getting clothing for the baby might not be as difficult as you think. Since the baby will for sure grow really fast, it might be a really good idea to get the clothing from second-hand stores. Remember that friends and family are very likely to offer clothing as gifts. Another idea for getting the clothing really cheap is to take a look at auction sites, such as eBay or the ones you can find the local newspaper.
When preparing the nursery you should keep in mind that according to the FSID (Foundation for the Infant Deaths) it is advisable for the new baby to sleep with the parents in the first 6 months.Another thing to remember regarding this matter is that the babies don’t really care about the decoration around them. All they need is to be loved and cared for so you can give up the expensive curtains that match the color of the walls, because the baby for sure won’t show any kind of appreciation for it.
There are some big investments that you simply cannot avoid, such as the buggy, pushchair or pram. The best solution is to make some researches before you actually get one in order to make sure that you won’t have to get two of them. The factors that you could take into consideration include the age range, the size and also the ease of folding.
When you have found the model that you think would work out for you, take a look on eBay because you might find it there cheaper than anywhere else. If you have a really tight budget, you can ask for these items on Freecycle, or in case you have some friends or relatives who had babies in the past, you should ask them whether they have the items that you need.
A car seat is also something that is essential for any new family, and the conscious should not let you leave home without one. In case you get a car seat, make sure that the source is trustworthy.
