Expenses have gone up to the sky since my precious one was born.Dont get me wrong.I am not complaining but when there is a baby there should be a serious budgeting. I really intended to breastfeed my baby but due to some circumstances and health issues , it hindered me from doing so. Also, I wanted to use cloth diaper but even though my mom has been helping a hand I did not want to burden her with washing soiled cloth diaper from time to time. I have not been working since February and now I have very limited mobility due to my surgery. So many bills to pay and daily expenses to boot. I try to save as much as I can. Here is how I do it. I do my own hair treatment instead of going to the salon. I use Virgin coconut oil. I was advised to take calcium supplements.Instead of buying tablets, I just boil Moringa leaves since I have it in my frontyard. I am planning to buy organic cloth menstrual pads. I can save money and avoid infection. I am still thinking of other ways to save money. Any suggestions?

You can ask for donations online from those who have children. They probably have tons of babies items at home and they can donate to you. You just take everything, and if you do not need any item, you can sell it away for some extra cash.
