also....wic will not give u a breastpump you said. wondering what
insurance she has, i had fidelis, they sent me a maunal one when
they found out i was pregnant and breastfeeding, maybe she should
give a call, and in the hospital when she pumps, they will let her
use a hospital grade electric but if she asks for a manual im
positive they will give her one, they gave me one, and its nice b/c
its free. and if shes in need of an electric one, a very nice brand
i have used is teh evenflo select comfort, 45 for a single electric
battery or plug in pump, w storage bags and breatpads, 55 or 60 for
the double, but its a very nice and affordable pump. tell her to
stock up on lotions and samples fromt he hospital, theyw ill give
her lansinoh nipple cream small little trial tubes, let hre know to
ask for a few of them and they last a very long time, mine i had 4
tubes, lasted me well beyond breastfeeding after i stopped at 5
months i still have 2 tubes left you need very little.. im going
now. lo

its a newborn to toddler rocker its 35 at target and they have a
cute version of same thing at wlmart for 50 a little more useful
its a rocker/vibrator chair with toys and music that last up to 50
lbs so they can use it for YEARS it is strong enough and they can
use it as a chair as they get older.

diaper bag, so if she dont get a diaper bag shell be fine. if she
was having a boy i would be able to send clothing items but i never
got my lil girl. (i will tho) gluck to her sorry for the extremely
long post, i am trying to help out!

my sons dr discourages walkers very much,a dn they have been banned
in canada for 10 yrs, so if they are all doin good, i dont think a
babys gonna not grow up right b/c they didnt have a walker.seee if
there are any local programs like police depts fire houses, or
county buildings that can offer advice onw here to get free
certified carseats, its a BAD idea to get a used carseat, u never
know if its been in an accident, they expire, and you better off
spending the money to get a new one or get a free one fromt he
certified places i mentioned. also try www.craigslist.org
http://my.freecycle.org/login for new and used stuff. craigslist is
buying things freecycle is free items. www.uanditrade.com maybe
start a wishlist or baby registry it would be easier for ppl to hel
out if they know what she wants and i found an AWESOME seat, its
not a bouncer but it suits the purpose just right

i cannot help but i can offer advice. a walker is a bad idea, i
know most parents want to see their children runnin around the
house in these things, but its an accident waiting to happen, they
can bump into things, hot water can spill on them falldown stairs,
a jumperoo or exersaucer are JUST as well, jumperoo's and
exerwsaucers are basically the saem thing, so maybe one instead of
both would be suffiecient, plus thinka bout where she will store
all this stuff when she no longer needs them. for the bassinet, it
will maybe be cheaper to get a cosleeper, or a bedside sleeper, i
paid 60 for my co sleeper at toys r us, its a little mini lookin
bassinet that just sits in the bed with you and the baby cannot
roll nowhere, cheaper, and the baby is close to you, AMAZING for
breastfeeding, and instead of a stroller right away if noone can
get it for her, get a baby carrier thing that goes on your back,
very soothing for baby and good for mother and baby bonding.

We check out craigslist and freecycle all the time but I can't be
on the computer a lot because I work and have 2 kids myself, so by
the time I see, they are gone.. WIC will not give us a breast
pump.. I do not know why.. they said they can give her formula so
that she can alternate but they have no breast pumps?? I know we
really need one so if any one can pass one down, we would
appreciate it and thank you all for your comments already.. your
GREAT!!!

You're a good friend to this young lady..the baby's name is
beautiful! I hope and pray all goes well for her and that heros
grant all the needs...I would be seeing about child support,
too...it's not too early and the father has a financial
responsibility for this child. May God bless all of you and take
care of you, especially this new one soon to make her debut....good
luck!
|

I hope you can find some heros. Also try checking yardsale. I got a
awing, high chair, and walker for a total of $5 a few weeks back.
Good luck and take care.

Oh have her go to WIC, and apply, they will give her the breast
pump, and its a high end one around $250.00 for FREE!!! Please have
her check into it, and also other resources, as she can get alot of
this stuff for free

Hi, I also forgot to add of my wish that we do have a registry at
walmart,com.. just look for Erika Perez in 91406 Van Nuys..
thanks.. anything anyone can do is appreciated!!
|
|
Local Police dept or fire departments usually give you a new baby
seat. Someone in town will. Please check. That would be one thing
off the list.
|
|
May I suggest Craigslist and Freecycle for many of those items?
Lots of people are willing to pass on baby gear and clothes since
babies out grow them so quickly. Also, she ought to apply for WIC
even if she is breast feeding they wll help her to stay healthy and
to insure the baby's health.
Blessings
Donna
