Baby registry list in hand; free, experienced personal shopper on arm
Austin, (Texas) — Shopping for a new baby can be an expensive, exhausting and overwhelming experience. According to CNN Money, the typical new mom and dad spend $6,200 outfitting their baby in the first year, from cribs and car seats to clothing and formula. In a tight economy, there are ways to save a buck, and buying baby registry items gently used from a consignment sale is one savvy way to go about it.
MamaCents (www.mamacents.com) consignment sale at the Palmer Auditorium in Austin starting March 26th is the largest and most established consignment sale in Central Texas. And this year it takes on an even more essential role in prepping for baby by providing personal shopping services to first time moms.
As part of the consignment sale, the Get Babied! Doula Collective (www.getbabied.com) is co-hosting the “Very Important Preggers” baby shower this year; and as part of the shower they are helping moms become even more efficient in outfitting their nurseries. They have created an inclusive list of items, and are helping moms to navigate the more than 30,000 items to fulfill their list requirements. In addition to being experts on pregnancy and childbirth, the Get Babied! Doulas are moms themselves, and can offer candid advice on if their escorts ‘really’ need that name brand luxury glider or if the knock-off is just as good; which breast pump gets the best reviews from lactation experts; and how many onesies a baby actually needs.
Can’t make it to the sale? Email the Get Babied! Doulas (doulas@getbabied.com) for a copy of the list so you can still be sure you still get everything you need.
