Children are a blessing, but as you know if you have kids or have kids in your life, they need a lot of things! They expect to eat multiple times a day, they grow quickly and need clothes, and for the first couple of years, you have to buy diapers or some kind of alternative. But babies don’t have to be a budget drain—there are lots of hacks for saving money on babies, and since I have multiple children myself, I’ve written a lot about it. Here I’ve gathered all of my posts about saving money on babies so you can find helpful info all in one place.

Baby Registry Welcome Box Review Round-up
Many stores and websites will send you a welcome box with samples and other baby items if you start a registry with them.
