Having a baby can be very expensive, and new parents need ways to save their piggy bank! With baby clothes, formula or baby food, diapers, high chairs and strollers, and more, there are many things new babies need - and that’s after the hospital visits that took bringing your new bundle of joy into the world! Not only that, but there are also unexpected expenses of having a new baby, such as additional trips to your pediatrician for health check-ups and rounds of immunization shots. You can give your baby the care she or he needs without breaking the bank.
Having a new baby means changing your buying habits and lifestyle. Some ways to save with a baby include going thrift shopping for baby furniture, and using regular shampoo and soap rather than what’s marketed as for babies. A good deal of specialty items branded for babies will be significantly more expensive than their “adult” counterparts.

Miracle! Newborn Starts Breathing in Final Cuddle With Parents After Doctors Say He's 'Dead'
Kate and David Ogg were heartbroken when they were told at the premature delivery of their twins - born 2 minutes apart at just 26 weeks - that one of them had stopped breathing and had just moments to live. Thinking it was the only time they would have with the tiny boy they had already decided to name Jamie, Kate asked to be able to hold the almost lifeless child, and told David to climb into the hospital bed, shirtless - for a tender embrace. What happened next was nothing short of a miracle.
In this mother's loving arms, and basking in the combined warmth of his parent's bodies, the little boy started moving, and his breathing grew stronger. Hospital staff rushed back to his aid and together brought the baby back to life.
Photo of Newborn Swaddled In American Flag Gets Photographer In Trouble
Photographer Vanessa Hicks, got herself in hot water after a newborn photo she posted to her professional Facebook page went viral. The navy veteran who is also married to a military man says she never could have anticipated the backlash she got from the photo of another military father in uniform, holding his baby in an American flag. The online furore, she said, started from a Facebook page that attacked the photo for desecrating the American flag.
Naysayers criticised the photograpgher and her husband, and also the father whose name appears in the photo as seen above. Some insisted he needed to be disciplined or sacked. But Hicks stood up for her picture and called on her friends, fans, family, and anyone who loved the picture to defend it and share. Now, she may be making prints to sell of the photo, and she believes this is a win for those in military service who often give their lives in defence of the country, the flag and all it stands for.
