Anyone else with 3 babies under 3? I recently found out I'm pregnant with our 3rd baby. The first will be two in February, the second will turn one in March, & the 3rd is due in July. I'm a stay at home Mom on a tight budget. Any positive feedback or support is much appreciated!

    I'm in the same boat as you. My 1st turned 2 in August, 2nd will be 1 in December and my 3rd is due in May! Also a stay at home mom and we definitely have a tight budget. But I have faith in us. We can do it, and so can you :)

    I'm pregnant with our 3rd. My oldest will turn 3 a couple weeks before I'm due. We're not neccecarily on a tight budget but I've been looking for ways to help save money. I decided to start cloth diapering (it saves $1500-$2500 in the long run). Well cloth diaper our new baby and once I get a good amount of diapers I plan to use them with my one year old to help cut down on cost of diapers. My oldest is potty trained but still wears pull ups during nap times and bed time so I'm trying to make it to where we're only buying diapers for him (we spend about $40 a month on those). I'm also planning on breastfeeding this baby (I'm still bfing my youngest but we're slowly weaning). I figure little things like that help save money.

    Hello!   I am currently pregnant with #3.  our twins will be 2 years old when this baby is born.  So we will have 3 in diapers.  I do work full time and so does my husband but kind of feel like we are on a tight budget because we spent a lot of money over 3 years on fertility procedures and a round of IVF to get the twins.  So worth it but it did set us back financially.  Now this one was a total surprise : ) .   So I was thinking of breastfeeding this time to save money.  I signed up to get diapers through amazon and it seems to save a little bit of money.  Good luck!  Sorry I don't have more advice!

    My oldest will be 3.5 and my second will be 22 months. My oldest is potty trained since 2.5 which saves on diapers, and we didn't really use pull-ups (only 1/2 a box). I'm a SAHM also and keep to a budget. I breast feed then make my own baby food. Reusable food pouches are wonderful and easy to store and transport.

    Slickdeals.net and search diapers. Combine coupons with subscribe and save through Amazon for less expensive diapers and wipes.

    My oldest is 3 my middle will be 21 months when this baby is born in June. DD is potty trained so no diapers there, I buy my Diapers from Target when they have the buy 2 boxes get a $20/$30 gift card and then put it towards the next purchase. I breastfed both of them, did baby led weaning and coupon cut as much as I can. Most of their clothes are second hand (either given from friends or bought at consignment /thrift stores) and I will be keeping whatever I need for this baby. Also depending on where you live there are so many programs out there to get stuff for low cost or even free. I live in a very small town and we even have a pregnancy center where if you take parenting classes, or child birth classes or even nutrition classes they give you vouchers to use in their store to get pretty much any baby item you might need. Just look around in your area and I'm sure you can find things like this. Good Luck :)

    My twins were born when my oldest was 15 months old. Let me give u a few pointers (they are 8 and 7 now with baby brother turning 3 in dec and new baby coming late March/early April)

    DON'T STRESS! THERE WILL BE HUGE CHUNKS OF TIME YOU FORGET AND IT'S OK!

    That said... I breastfed because I love it and it's free.... I made my own baby food until they were consuming 75 jars a week... I work full time and so does hubs but it just is what it is. our income really hasn't changed and I remember when I got preg with the twins s I freaked cause I couldn't afford another baby.... didn't know it was 2! And from there we added another one and now 1 more. You just make the budget work... and u can! So yes... I had 3 under 16 months.... and will have 5 under 9 when baby elijah comes.... you can do it!
