I just wanted to share an idea with all you new mommies out there. Craigslist. com has alot of used baby items and maternity stuff for sale and you can browse by city so everything is local ( no shipping). I look on there alot and I’ve found some really great things on there ( like a Little Tykes racecar bed for my son that I never would have been able to afford at the store) There are also cribs (just make sure they are safe and within regulation), breast pumps, and alot of other stuff. Another thing I do as a single parent to save money is I am a nanny. There are alot of people out there that won’t mind if you bring your child with you (especially if the children are close in age). That way I can still bring in a paycheck without paying childcare. Just some ideas… it’s not impossible to be a young mother dealing with an unplanned pregnancy, you just have to be creative;)
