When I had my first baby I had no idea just how hard it could be. Honestly as a new mom I wish someone would have told me about like budgeting, I really had no idea that I needed to set a budget. Now after having three kids and now that we are planning for another little one we really wanted to share some simple tips that we’ve learned that will help you budget for a new baby.
5 Simple Tips To Budget For A New Baby
- Take More Videos – I wish I would have had more video of when my oldest was a baby. Buy an external device and back up your photo and video memories.
- Don’t Overbuy – I wish I would have saved my money for more important things, there are so many outfits my baby never wore. Babies really only need a few things so avoid going totally overboard in the closing department.
- Set a Budget – Set a budget for new baby gear, clothing, diapers and other things you will need like formula and bottles.
- Shop Online For Essentials And Save – You can easily shop online for essentials like baby formula, shopping on Amazon you can save big.
Did you know that you can save big just by not buying the big name brand? You can still get the same quality without the price tag with love & care. The brand has a wide variety of products for your growing baby to use through every stage. Our babies always need extra gentle love and protection so we always stock up on what works best for our baby.
Having a new baby you just want what’s best for your baby. I wish someone would have reminded me that I always didn’t have to buy the most expensive products to get the best quality. love & care really has it all and by shopping right on Amazon this buy mom doesn’t even have to leave home to buy essentials.
As a mom I like that their products are ones I know I can trust. Made with NON-GMO ingredients it still has triple care with all the essential nutrients for growing healthy and strong.
I wish someone would have told me not to sweat the small stuff and to lean on my friends and family more when I need help. I know that as we do start to plan for having another little one soon we are prepared for what that next stage of our life will bring.

What’s one tip you have for making a budget to have a new baby?
wow1 these are great tips and would be handy. going to pass it to my friends. Thank you
These are definitely some great tips for budgeting for a new baby. When I was pregnant with my babies, I would stock up on diapers before they were born.
Setting a budget is the most important thing! Don’t overspend or underspend. Make sure you have a list to follow.
Shopping online is definitley a way to save these days. There are so many great coupons and sales deals!
Based on my friends, having a baby is really costly. Overbuying on some stuff is really a problem. It’s nice that it’s on the list.
These are great tips! I don’t have kids but taking pictures of kids as much as you can is improtant
Not overbuying is a huge one. It’s so easy to buy way too much when having a new baby because it’s exciting!
I love that we have the ability to record and capture moments with out kids so easily! Don’t forget to back up your memories to the cloud too!
Great tips! My sister gave my other sister baby things she used for my niece. We also try to look for used item first before deciding to buy.
Shopping on-line is the best solution nowadays to save money and to shop smart. This way I find the best product at the best price!
I remember that it felt so overwhelming when we were starting our family – but we took it one day at a time and shopped sales and resale!
Everything you posted here is spot on! We wasted so much money on clothes that were quickly outgrown. I wish I would have taken more photos and video too. They really do grow so fast, you’ll never regret having excess photos of the time when they were little.
Very cute pics!! I kinda miss the formula days myself! My baby is 6 now!
These are great tips! I think “Dont Overbuy” is a great one to remember. As mothers, we tend to want to give the best for our children. The best doesnt always mean everything 🙂 Also, especially for first time mothers, we dont know what our baby will actually like so we should go at it slow. Thanks for sharing!
Now you tell me. My son had more baby clothes than we could fit in the house, so much wasted money! Thankfully a neighbor told me where to donate them so they would not go to waste.
These are all great ideas for saving some money, but the one I love the most has nothing to do with money. Take WAY more videos than you ever think you’ll ever watch. I wish I had more of them, too.
