Having a new baby can be expensive especially during the first years with diapers, formula, and all the well-baby checks. Plus, all the baby gear you need to purchase. My head is spinning just thinking about all of the things that are needed for a new baby especially if it is your first baby. Our family is complete with four children so we won’t be worrying about this in our near future.
My youngest baby is now 7. Some days it is hard to believe that the baby phase of our life is over but right now I’m just going to enjoy the other babies in my family that I can snuggle with and then hand back to their parents!

Now for a few baby saving tips from Bargain Briana:
- Don’t buy everything. There are just some things that you don’t need like baby wipes warmers! Also, ask friends if you can borrow big ticket items if they are no longer using.
- Buy used when possible. There are items that you will not want to buy used like car seats and cloth diapers but there are big ticket items that babies don’t use for a long period of time that you can save by buying used. Check out consignment sales, garage sales, and Facebook buy/sell groups.
- Make your own. Making baby food is much easier than people think and when made in large batches can save you time as well as money. You can even easily make your own homemade baby wipes.
- Start a savings account. Start saving early! The earlier the better even if it is only $5 here and there. When my kids were younger and before they knew they were getting money as gifts, I would put that money in their savings accounts and watch it grow.
