Thanks to Lynn for this Frugal Baby Tip!
As for used baby clothes, I got a lot of my stuff (when she was small, sleepers was all I bought brand new...only other brand new stuff was given to us as gifts) from the local thrift shops (we have Children's Hospital of the King's Daughters, Salvation Army, and some parochial school shops). You wouldn't believe the deals I've gotten there.
After my daughter outgrows the outfits, I just re-donate them so someone else can use them. I only keep a VERY few representative outfits that I fall in love with for later (these are usually more worn, anyway!).
Getting stuff from the thrift shop kind of alleviates that "gotta keep it for the next baby" urge for me because I spend pennies for it to begin with and I know that if I'm blessed with another baby, there will be a whole new slew of stuff that I can pick up for pennies again! We are moving in a couple of weeks, though, and I'm thinking of having a yard sale with all the OTHER junk I have...it's amazing how much you accumulate...

About Catherine: I have been writing my Frugal Baby Tips since 1982, when I was a young divorced mom of two - for my baby product company, Born to Love. I am now mom to three grown up sons, and a grandma - and happily married to a wonderful man. We have rescued two little dogs, Denny and Dexter - and a rescue cat, Bella.
Taking care of baby and mom needs naturally, does not have to cost a whole lot of money! Money-saving tips on diapering, diaper washing, safety, sling and baby carriers, toys, clothing, nursing, menstrual needs, traveling with kids, and more!
If you have Frugal Baby Tips to share, we want to hear them! It might even get published!
