You can also save money here and there. I am grandma to a six year old and a three year old. I bought every diaper they wore and clothing the first two years of their lives. i bought nearly all that nasty baby food and what formula the WIC card didn't pay for. WIC is a program run thru your local health dept that helps people with children that have less than 332,000. income. It pays for formula and baby cereal when they are small. If your little one is on a special formula like one of mine was, it helps. it does not pay for those little jars of baby food or diapers. Now, about diapers, A lot of people don't realize it but a lot of store brands are actually the same as the name brands. Kroger brand diapers are the same as HUGGIES or Pampers. I can't remember now which one. And they are good. Also the walmart brand of diapers is just as good and half the price. Consignment stores have good baby and toddler clothing. Don't let pride get in the way of shopping there. if you have a baby share have whoever is giving the shower to drop hints to get the diapers and clothing in elevated sizes. They will outgrow thee newborn clothing and diapers in two weeks time. get a few newborn, then 0-3, then 3-6 sizes and you will be good to go. |
