Having a baby costs money. Some expenses are inevitable (like diapers). Others are optional. What you spend depends on knowing what your choices are and how to shop around. Bundy provides a complete consumer guide to costs and comparisons for parents-to-be, from health care (what does yours cover?) to writing a will. She also tells you the advantages and disadvantages of various options (disposable diapers are convenient but costly; cloth are economical but time-consuming) that allow you to make decisions based on your own values, needs, and lifestyle. A good book to get if you’re even thinking about having a baby.
