What to give baby for birthday/Christmas gift. If your reading this then I assume just like me you’re thinking the same. Choosing a birthday or Christmas gift for a baby can be difficult if you allow it to be. Picking games and toys for infants and toddlers is a lot easier than you think. All you need to do is sit down with a pen and paper, get yourself feeling in the shopping spirit and hey presto your on you way to choosing the ideal present for your baby, or someone else’s baby this year.

If you are looking for a babies first birthday/Christmas, then try not to go overboard and spend to much as people would agree that a baby doesn’t even realise what’s going on especially a Newborn and would rather play with a box or hear the sounds of rustling wrapping paper. Here are some suggestions to consider

As a baby reaches toddler age that’s when you have a lot more choice for things to buy at Christmas time or birthdays, children of this age are at the beginning of their learning stages, they are starting to understand a lot. Some gifts for toddlers could include;

Then the exciting part when a child reaches preschool age and is up to allsorts and very cheeky and mischievous some gift ideas listed below

Then as children get older that’s when the bigger presents are expected from their parents so maybe just a few pounds in a card will suffice then they can put the money towards something they are saving for or you could try these

if your not sure what to buy just in case you buy something they already have you could always ask their parents if buying for somebody else’s child or you could always ask the child for a few suggestions as to what they would like for a birthday or Christmas gift then just take your pick at which you are going to get them.

I am sure no matter what you buy yours or somebody else’s child for a birthday/Christmas they will be happy with no matter what age they are, always remember you can only buy what you can afford try not to get into debt for any reason and have to spend the rest of the year paying debts off, it really is not worth the hassle. Buy what you can afford and then with the money you will have saved, by not going mad on presents you can have a lovely day out with when the warmer weather comes our way.

Mini Stroller Pushchairs – All The Comfort You And Your Baby Need

A brand new parent to be or a veteran has to always take the tough decision of choosing which products to buy for their baby. There are pushchairs, baby strollers and car seats and out of all of those must-have things, baby pushchairs usually end up at the top of the list. For active parents, pushchairs are perfect for around town, the park, running errands, the mall, and the store and even for traveling by train, airplane or automobile. Getting the pushchair in and out of the vehicle one has to take into account both the size of the pushchairs when expanded as well as folded up. Most chairs do fold, but some designs are much better than others and it is due to this reason that the size of the pushchair should be an important consideration.

Some factors which should be kept in mind while selecting a baby stroller like safety, design and construction quality. Finding a durable construction ensures that it will last throughout the time starting from the period of infancy to the toddler years. A good stroller is a parent’s connection with the rest of the world. It is also important to ensure that the stroller has an adequate breaking system and safety harness. Baby strollers have developed quite a bit in the past few years. Today, parents are lucky to have a wide variety of well made lightweight baby strollers at their disposal.

Moms often end up with the Financial Short Straw when Baby comes Along

You’re pregnant, and suddenly you can only think about nursery colors and baby names. But there’s a more sobering reality – the financial impact this baby will have on you, the mom. Although you know that a baby will impact on your career, your relationship with your partner and on your lifestyle, you don’t necessarily consider the effect the new addition will have on your bank balance and savings. Time Off You’re legally entitled to at least few months’ maternity leave, during which your employer is not obliged to pay you. Once the maternity leave is up, you may decide to take additional time off, stop working altogether, or opt to reduce your working hours. All of these will affect your take-home pay and, by implication, your level of personal savings and investment options. Savings Assuming you and your partner jointly decided to have children, is it fair that you’re more out-of-pocket than him, simply because nature has designated you as the child-bearer? The financial implications should be discussed with your partner before your baby’s arrival, preferably before you’re even pregnant, to ensure you’re both aware of how much it costs to have a baby. The Budget Establish what your household can or can’t afford. Draw up a budget of your joint expenses to determine this, building in additional costs like child care, nappies, food and clothing. Encourage discussion of what’s fair and practical, although determining what’s fair can be difficult. One suggestion is that your partner pays you a salary. Another approach is to use your partner’s income (plus any maternity benefits that you’re receiving) to pay all joint household bills first, and to split the remaining amount equally. However, it’s crucial that you maintain your own savings during this time. Your Budget These guidelines can vary quite substantially, but should give you a good idea of costs to factor in when drawing up your baby budget: Initial Outlay Pram, cot (camper and normal) and car seat – upwards of $1000; changing table at the correct waist height – $50 to $100. You’ll also need a changing mat. Second-hand may be an option. Blankets, toys and clothes – $50 or more. Maternity clothes, feeding bras and comfortable shoes. A good feeding bra can cost up to $60. For the first couple of months after birth, factor in about $15 for disposable breastfeeding pads and sanitary towels. Doctors’ check-ups, scans and the birth. Calculate what your medical aid will pay as well as the potential shortfall. Ongoing Costs Bottles and teats – around $30. Teats are age appropriate and will need to be upgraded periodically. The same applies to dummies, which cost about $5 for two. Disposable nappies, bum cream, wet wipes/cotton wool, formula and sterilizer – more than $100 per month, depending on your baby’s age, whether you’re breastfeeding or not and the formula type. Formula can cost from $45 to $65 per month. Toweling nappies – an initial cost of around $160, but no cost thereafter. Clothing, including shoes – a minimum of $200 to $250 per child per year. Rates for childcare will vary according to where you live, but typically, a full-time live-in nanny is paid at least $300 a month. If you’re working, daycare can cost between $100 to $200 a month. For holiday care, budget for around $7 per child per day. You’ll need to add your children to a medical aid. A basic hospital plan for a family of four costs around $200 a month. Reality Check For women accustomed to earning their own money, being financially dependent on their partner is tough, but ask yourself the following question: What would it cost to employ someone to look after a baby, day and night, for the first few months of its life? These principles apply whether you are planning on taking four months or four years off to have children.
