I just returned it to the library and really wasn't that impressed. Alot of the ideas were things we are already doing and some were probably best to consult a physician before trying. They gave ideas on saving money with a sick baby. i don't know about anyone else, but when my baby is sick saving five dollars on the tylenol and using a "recipe" from some book, not written by an M.D. is not my idea being frugal. It could make the baby sicker or do no good at all. To be fair, it does have alot of good ideas if you are new to frugality, but beware of the medical section.

I did not know that it was written by Kim. I guess I should pay attention to things like that. Kim, I didn't mean to offend you, the book certainly has a use. I feel alot of the ideas are common sense, though. I am sure coming up with 1000 frugal baby tips isn't easy. Also, I did note the safety tips given, many were very useful, like the sock on the doorknob idea. I still feel it is never a good idea to put frugality over safety, especially with babies. I am sure you did your research, but would still feel best to run the ideas for household cures past my pediatrician. Please accept my apologies for any hurt feelings I may have caused.

I also learned about this site after reading _1000 Best Baby Bargains_. I was really impressed with the book. I especially liked the recipe for making your own baby wipes. I think the best part of this book is that you can find money-saving tips for whichever choices you're making: cloth diapers vs. disposable, breastfeeding vs. formula, buying used clothes vs. buying clothes new.

No worries, it doesn't bother me. There's no such thing as the "perfect" book.

For those who haven't picked up the book, it also contains home remedies for such things as diaper rash, gassy tummies etc. (a lot of these are remedies that Mommysavers members have been sharing for years). I should point out that it was edited carefully and includes many safety tips as well. However, if you're concerned about anything please do check with your pediatrician.
