A must-read for new parents You’re holding the new baby in your arms for the first time.
Your first thought is probably, “You’re so beautiful.”
Your second thought = OK, right after “What’s that smell?” = usually is “How are we going to afford you?”
Leah Severson is here to help.
Severson, an Indiana mother of two young daughters, has written “Bargain Buys for Baby’s First Year” (St. Martin’s Griffin), a 162-page paperback full of suggestions on how to save on everything from baby furniture to diapers. And more. There are tips on where to find bargains as well as what not to buy (forget the zwieback toast, baby wipe warmers and nursing stools).
Severson has also thrown in safety tips and lists of resources for things such as baby product manufacturers, books for parents and online sources of information.
The best bargain of all may be the book itself at $11.95. No diaper bag should be without one.
Nursing stools?
