- Sign up for Huggies, Luvs and Pampers online to get on their mailing list for Diaper Coupons.
- Breast feeding is the ultimate saving money tip but if you are going the formula route you can sign up for the formula companies email list and they will send you samples and coupons.
- Know your charges. Your Hospital is going to charge you for everything. Make sure you go over the list with your nurse such as watching television, using a private room, and all those extra toiletries that are in the bassinet. You paid for those, take them home.
- Join a swap. You can swap clothes with other moms, borrow a breast pump, test drive a stroller and more.
