If you are crafty you can skip buying and go straight to making new thins for your little one. Clothing, bibs, even the bedding can all be sewn for a fraction of the cost of new. Thre are several sites that offer free clothing patterns, even patterns for knitting and crocheting too. There are even patterns to make crib sheets and quilts if you need to.

Thre are many baby items that are freguently needed and can cost quite a lot lof money. Diaper rash cream is one such item that can add up.

Many breastfeeding mothers also swear on applying breastmilk to a diaper rash to both soothe and heal the rash.
