Thrifty Living Series II

Some of the biggest ways I have found to save money were with lifestyle choices.

Breastfeeding:
Aside from the immunity building benefits, breastmilk is free. Its better for you and for baby. The average infant can fo through 24-32 ounces of formula daily. Infants should remain on formula for a minimum of 12 month. That’s roughly 10,080 ounces of formula.

Cosleeping:
Cosleeping is the natural act of your child sleeping with its parents in the “family” bed. Safety precautions must be taken when cosleeping but following Dr. Sears precautions will keep your child safe. Cosleeping is inexpensive in 2 ways. Your family is sharing body heat allowing the temp in your house to not need to be so high. It also means not having to buy a crib. Cribs, bassinets and changing tables are often more than $100 a piece.
