Happy Safe Baby

How much is to much to spend on the baby in a month?

My daughter was just born in May. Anways, my Fiancee keeps spending heaps of money buying her stuff. She spent like 1500 between the babies birthdate and today. Mind you we already had baby furniture, cloths, formula, and diapers. Although, we have had to reup on the last two a few times.

So, anyways she thinks it unreasonable to put the baby on a budget. But I dont think its out of the question at all. What do you think and how much would you budget for the baby?

I am not speaking of emergency type situations, I am speaking of the every day needs and my fiancee’s wants.
The two of us already have budgets, that we decided on when she got pregnant. Now she is using the baby as an excuse to spend extra money.

Why do you people equivilate cheap with being responsible?

We had some family stay with us for a couple weeks- dogs and all. When they finally left, I went to clean the rooms they used, and the bedding was horribly smelly- a combo of unwashed body odor and smelly dog. I started to wash the bedding, but the first blanket I washed still smells! I used my regular detergent and dryer sheets. Any suggestions?

Just wondering… My little boy will be about 1 year and 4 months when the new baby is born. They baby will sleep in a bassinet for a couple months. But, wondering if Ill be able to move Brayden to a bed and use the crib for the baby.. instead of buying another crib.

He is 7 wks 6 days and weighed in at 12 lbs 14 oz and 23 inches long. I’m curious as to how this compared to other babies his age? Do you remember about how much your baby weighed?

I am 30 weeks pregnant with a baby boy and going to have a baby shower soon. I did precious moments with my daughter, I just don’t know what a good baby shower theme for a boy is. Any suggestions?
