There are many ways to get around the expense of buying maternity clothes that you will actually wear for only a few months. If you are one of the lucky folks that are good with a sewing machines, and have a little extra time on your hands, you could make your own maternity clothes. Before your baby gets here, you will want to buy a few things. There is no need to go overboard in this area. Realistically, you newborn will only need a few things.
Some people prefer the less costly method of making their own cloth diapers.
For those people like myself who prefer disposables, you should buy only one package of newborn diapers then one package of small diapers before the birth. Babies tend to either be to big for newborn sizes or grow out of them quickly. One thing I always advise new parents is to not waste money on newborn sized clothes unless your baby is premature or especially small, they will grow out of them in less than a month.
