[quote=Anonymous]We have an infant in a NAEYC-accredited center in DC that is $1300/month. We have started cooking way more because it's a hassle to go out to eat, and that helps a lot. I highly recommend joining listservs and scouring Craigslist to get baby items secondhand. You don't need a brand new bouncer, swing, Bumbo, Exersaucer, high chair, play mat, etc. You'll only use lots of these contraptions for a few months. For baby clothes, we shop sales and Marshall's/Target ONLY. There was a Macy's sale a few weeks ago where 3-piece outfits (onesie, pants, jacket) originally $30 were $11.99, so we stocked up. We try to ask ourselves what we really need (vs. want) and don't buy it until we need it.[/quote]
