Tight baby budget: what to buy first, what to ask for, and what can wait
When the baby budget is tight, not everything needs to be bought new: this is what to close now, what to ask for or inherit, and what can wait without drama.
Organizing baby gifts often comes with a big mental load. Constant messages asking 'What do you need?', coordinating to avoid duplicates, and worrying about seeming demanding all create unnecessary stress.
