For most new parents, it isn’t just their best clothes that are under threat from baby dribble ? their finances are also at serious risk of irreparable damage. According to the LV= annual survey, raising a child until age 18 can cost over ?160,000, with baby’s first year costing upwards of ?10,000.

 

The new must-have eBook by DIY Father, Baby on a Budget, combines the wisdom of fathers around the world using humor and useful tips to help new parents to save over ?10,000, so they can enjoy their new life with their new baby without breaking the bank.

 

“Congratulations you’re a new dad! Now you have one new and rather large expense that will be hanging around for the next 20 years or so. And if you are like most new dads, the one question racing around your mind is … how am I going to pay for it all?” says DIY Father Founder Scott Lancaster.

 

The Baby on a Budget team has done all the hard work and research to help families save their hard-earned cash and avoid unnecessary expenses when buying things for their baby. The book covers everything from tips on how to save on baby gear, toys and clothes, food and nutrition as well as the big expense – childcare.

 

Three quick and easy budgeting tips from DIY Father to get started on budgeting for the family:

 

1.Make it a priority- before creating a budget for baby purchases sit down to determine what is important to you and your partner and make sure you are on the same page. Divide purchases into ?must haves? and ?nice to haves? – this way you will avoid many arguments over what you should or shouldn?t buy.

2.Avoid unnecessary purchases – if you are stuck for cash don?t buy items like newborn baby shoes ? they are a fashion item only. A newborn baby does not need shoes (in fact many people believe shoes are not good for them).

3.Four is more than enough – the DIY Father rule of thumb for baby clothes: one on your baby, one in the wash, and two in the drawer.

 

To help keep costs down, Baby on a Budget is available as an eBook for 4.95. For more information, or to schedule an interview, please contact Craig Alan Williamson at craig(at)diyfather(dot)com or 07801 479429.
