It's expensive to have a baby in USA but there are way around it. Buy used, get stuff for free, your baby doesn't have influence on your decisions in buying. When the baby grow up teach it the value of money from early on.

I don't even have a baby, nor am I pregnant but I am here for the content! You have such a lovely presence!

I live in the Netherlands and here it's super common to give away things for free, it saves people hassle of getting rid of the stuff. This way I got part of the furniture in my house, a closet and dresser for baby room and I'm planning to get more baby related items this way. When I don't need something anymore I will also give it away, so that the things will circulate instead of buying new items :)

I dont even have a baby but im hoping i do have one 3 yearsfrom now. Hoping to start saving in a year for my future baby

I'm hoping to save money and use stuff from my rainbow baby and i plan to start buying things in the 3rd trimester. I also need to go to thrift stores as well. i love them, you can also get some great stuff.

Hey, your hair is everything!!!
I am having my 4th kid and I’m def being a minimalist this time. I wish I would’ve been like this with my first 3 children.

The best minimalism teacher is being the second-time mom, I guess :)
In the middle of stocking up for twins now. And trying not to grumble about babies being such a business now.
I mean, $10-15 for 3 bibs? Or a small set of burp clothes for the same price? Planning to use small face towels or bigger ones. If you have a sewing machine, you can cut a few cheap cotton towels, stich them and there you go. DIY burp clothes. Or we got 2 bassinets, but I'm not happy with the quality of the mattress cover, so will just cut to the size one of the cotton sheets I don't use often and give to my mother-in-law to stich them. Four sheets for $0. Swaddles. With my first baby we didn't have those selling in stores, so everyone were just buying cotton/flannel in fabric stores and make DIY ones. I don't plan to buy fancy gadgets like a diaper pail, a wipe warmer, a white noise machine, rockers/bouncers. You can perfectly use a pot with water to sterilize bottles. I remember I used to put them on top of my water kettle and keep the steam for 1-2 minutes. I think anyone can be super inventive and save their money and space from extra clutter!

900st ft! wow thats huge! we live in 500sq ft which is normally for a family of 4 adults and 1-2 kids. Well i dont live in amercia so it is different. It is tight

[remitaylor]

i’ve started buying stuff & storing it for when i do have a baby 😂 because i do plan to in 1-2 years & don’t want to buy all at once

[mariocartel]

For my first i got the bulk of my baby items in bundles online from parents getting rid of everything and picked up tons of things in garage sales. My second i went to once upon a child about once a month in my pregnancy and just browsed what they had, then after buying a minimal ammt of stuff to get started i was given everything my niece used as a baby, things my mom picked up for me, then a friend gave me tons of baby furniture. I never asked for gifts either so i felt pretty blessed but was given far more than i needed. Im now pregnant with my 3rd and the 2nd and 3rd will only be about 14 months apart so i know i will need to get doubles of things like cribs, car seats, high chairs that both will use at the same time but then on the other end of the spectrum i was given far too many baby clothes and want to minimize that a ton. I pick around most of it for my favorites anyways and think having too many clothes is overwhelming. I think babies can be way more affordable than people perceive though and some things are just excessive and we dont all need the same things.

Literally binge watching your channel at the moment. Loving every minute!

I just found out I’m pregnant about a month ago and went in for the first checkup/ultrasound scan yesterday. I am currently 8 weeks and 6 days. The tips for saving money are a great idea! I was also wondering, however, what to do as far as medical expenses. I think you said you’re in Canada, and I’m in the states so it’s probably a bit different. I’m on a high deductible plan currently (and by high I mean HIGH—$6300), but am going to switch to the low deductible option during open enrollment. My partner and I are starting to save like there’s no tomorrow since we didn’t have much of a savings to start. By the time baby comes we should have enough to cover medical expenses with a little leftover, but childcare is another issue. Are there any other moms-to-be struggling with just the idea of this?

[glorimarruiz]

Thank you for this video! I’m a first time mom and I don’t really have any guidance on what to do. This video helped a lot 💓 I subscribed!

[nailedfinances]

I don’t have a baby but hoping to get pregnant in the next 6 months so I might as well get familiar and this video is lovely

[uklife]

[CassidyPadron]
