FEATURE ARTICLE,
Budgeting for Baby, Feeding Your Baby
By Debra Vaughn
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A miracle from above, babies are a blessing in every aspect of
living. They can also be a strain on even the best of budgets.

You have gone to the doctor and confirmed that you are expecting a
special arrival in the next few months. A baby is about to join your
family. You know you have more than enough love to go around, but do
your finances have the same room for expansion? Let's take a moment
to find out what you can do to ensure that you can indeed afford a
baby without draining your bank account.

From formula to baby food, making sure your baby is well nourished
can take a huge chunk of money. The first part of this series of
articles will deal with feeding your baby without breaking your bank.

The most cost effective, natural and healthy way to feed your infant
is to use what nature gave you. Breast feeding is FREE! It can also
save you money on future medical bills. Breastmilk has nutrients and
antibodies that can only be found in mother's milk.

Since many women cannot breast feed because of a variety of reasons,
there is another method of feeding. Women Infants and Children (WIC)
is a federally funded nutritional education program. If you meet
certain requirements, based on family size, nutritional needs and
income, you qualify to participate in this program. This program
provides formula, juice and cereal to infants for the first year of
their lives. They also provide cereal, juice, milk, beans, eggs, and
more to mothers from the moment they find out their are pregnant
until 6 months after the birth of the baby. Children ages 2-4 are
included in this program receiving the same things as Mom. Sorry
guys, unless you are a single father of an infant or child, you
cannot participate.

If you do not qualify for WIC, never fear, you can still receive
savings on formula by visiting manufacturer's websites and
registering for thier mailing lists. When you sign up, you will also
receive a 'welcome aboard' package that usually includes both soy and
regular formula in powder and ready to serve forms. At the hospital,
you will also receive a package that includes a diaper bag, formula,
wipes, and so much more.

As your baby gets older, she will begin eating babyfood. Why pay 33¢-
50¢ per jar when you can make it at home for a fraction of the cost?
For baby food recipes that I have tried on my own children, and they
loved, I suggest you visit: http://earth.vol.com/~teri/ It offers a
wide range of recipes and helpful tips and instructions.
