Book Description
A indispensable creative and inspirational guide for all new parents who believe that bringing up a baby need not cost the earth.
Product Description
Cots and car seats, nappies and nurseries, babygros and booties... as any new parent will tell you, having a baby can be a costly business. In fact, according to a recent survey, the cost of raising a child is a staggering £186,000, pricier than buying a house.
But, having a baby need not mean financial ruin. Elen Lewis's timely and indispensableThe Resourceful Mum's Handbook provides practical and down-to-earth advice on what to buy and what not to buy, when it's worth splashing out on a cherished item and where you can cut corners and make savings - from pregnancy, through to birth and the newborn, and beyond.
Packed with inspirational and creative ideas for things to make at home, tried and tested recipes and tips, as well as activities and outings for you and your baby that won't cost a penny, The Resourceful Mum's Handbook is a must-have for every young family.

this is exactly the type of book that needed to be written. the author gives great advice on what is needed and how to get it cheaply as well as what to avoid. the make yourself ideas are easy and quick - perfect for new mums! i only wish that i had seen this book before i had my little girl as the pregnancy bits are good too! will be buying a copy for the expectant mum that i know - would lend mine but will be getting used by me still!

A "MUST HAVE" purchase for the new mum and dad,
By
This review is from: The Resourceful Mum's Handbook (Paperback)
I bought this book for my daughter who has just found out she is pregnant for the first time.Having glanced through it I couldn't put it down until it was finished it was so interesting and honest. I thoroughly endorse the previous reviews wholeheartedly. It is a minefield for new parents out there in the marketplace for baby products and it is easy to get carried away with the "ahh factor" and ultimately the high costs involved. The advice contained is an independent prospective from people that have been there other than possible constant advice from close family which can get tedious a times! (Personal experience!) My daughter has thoroughly enjoyed the book with all its variety of chapters. Highly recommended.

The Resourceful Mum,
This review is from: The Resourceful Mum's Handbook (Paperback)
This is a really great read and wonderful reference guide for anyone, with a young family, who is watching the pennies. How I wish I'd had this to hand when I had my first baby. The baby industry is a booming business and the author really strips away all the gimmicks and offers a concise guide as to what the necessities are when having a baby. It's packed full of money-saving tips, including what to and what not to buy in terms of equipment. There are also loads of tasty recipes for quick meals and even household cleaning products. I also loved the bit about having a first birthday party on a budget. The book is divided into easy to refer to chapters and is interspersed with first-hand advice from mums who have the wonderful benefit of hindsight.
Several of the baby books I've read have been quite patronising. But I would say this hits the spot perfectly.
