having a baby is a very expensive exercise so I would be interested in anyone's DIY baby item ideas.
For instance I got sick of going through thousands of zip lock bags to put dirty spoons in when we were out and about so I went the $2 shop and bought single toothbrush travel cases - Jack's spoons fit in there quite well and I no longer have dirty spoons in my baby bag.
I would love to hear other people's money saving ideas
Save on wipes by using cloth wipes - when out wet with water, squeeze out a little and place in a Tupperware container - they will stay moist and be ready when you need them.
I use the "Friends" brand of nappy bags to dispose of nappies when out etc but when I'm at home I just hang a bag over the rail of Coopers change table and put all the days nappies in one bag. As it has the nice scent it masks the "nappy" smell and I get about 5 nappies in it before having to put it in the bin.
I also use cloth wipes, but that's because Cooper has sensitive skin and bought wipes are just like sand paper on his butt!
Zinc and Castor Oil cream I get on prescription so that it only costs me the 70c subsidy instead of $8.00 a jar in the shops.
We use cloth nappies, plus cloths at home but baby wipes when out - will try the cloths in a Tupperware container once I run out.
I make mu own baby food as well although I am running out of interesting options for Jack, especially finger foods.
Thanks ladies!
