Baby Clothes

As we are just preparing for Baby to arrive, we aren’t delving too much into clothes yet. My wife is very savvy with Craigslist and other online pursuits. And we are very cost conscious. Me, especially. So we decided not to buy a lot of clothes for Baby that will only get worn a few times before they are outgrown.

We took a Friday off work and hit some garage sales that advertised baby items.  Since we are waiting to learn the sex of Baby, we had to search a little harder to find gender-neutral things, but it wasn’t too bad. We did have to pass up some super-cute things, though.

As far as cost, the baby clothes (sometimes with the tags still on them!) were selling for $1 to $2. Same for baby board books – in perfect condition. We estimate that we got well over $500 worth of essentials for $100.

There may come a time when we need special clothing for an event that we’ll have to hit the stores for, but for day-to-day stuff, garage sales are the way to go. I would imagine we’ll get some other clothes at baby showers and such. After that, we’ll see what items we still need. 

Welcome to First Baby Infomation!

Hi, My name is MJ. My wife is pregnant with our first baby and we are very excited about it. We are also both readers (especially my wife). So when we decided to start our family, we began researching everything baby. From how they grow in the womb, to how my wife’s hormones will take her on a wild ride, to how to make baby smarter. Some information we found very easily, but much of it took an inordinate amount of research just to find out where to get the information we were after!

So, I thought I’d do my good deed by telling other parents (and soon-to-be parents) what we found, what we liked, and what we didn't like. If possible, I’ll post a picture or link for you to find out more about a product or possibly jump straight to purchasing it if you find my thoughts helpful.

And as Baby grows up, I'll continue to share what we learn with you. This is our first baby and I'm pretty sure all the other new parents out there will have some of the same questions we do. I'm new to blogging like this, too, so I'll learn about this as I go as well.

If you have questions or comments, feel free to submit. I'll answer what I can or try to find out if I don't know. Or if you just have an answer to something I'm struggling with, I'd love to hear that, too.

I hope I can make your search for all your baby accessories a little easier to find than it was for us. Have a look around and thanks for reading!
