Answer
There is a myth out there that kids are expensive. The expense of a child is solely dependant on the parental units. If you want to spend $50 on Nikes for a baby than thats your perogative, dont complain about an expense that is your fault.
Honestly, do you really need to put a new born in Nikes and Tommy hilfiger outfits...no. Do you realy need entire bedroom suite for a child that wont crawl or walk for at least 6 months...no. Changing a diaper on a couch, table or chair is just as easy, do you really need a bassinet..no
Keys to being thrifty
*Find a local dollar store..the toy, clothes and whatnots there last just as lonf as the ones at fancy stores. My sons $5 batman gets played with and broken just as fast as the $30 version from toys r us.
*Find a thrift store-tons of deals on kid supplies
*Friends with kids are a blessing, we constantly get hand me downs like cloths, furniture, toys all in great condition. My 2 year actually has a Tommy Hilfiger outfit that was a hand me down, I would never pay that much, crazy
*Drop the pride for a day, take a drive through rich neighborhoods on garbage day, you would be amazed at what they throw away. I havd found unopened infant baths, bassinets etc..
*the most important thing money cant buy...your time, smother them with your time and they wont require all the access things that parents buy to avoid hangin with their kids. Me and my boys are inseperable, walks, rides, beach, parks all free
*There are tons of food programs that assist, WIC etc..There is a church dinner for everyday of the week where I am at, always free and open to everybody, just look and you will find
*good luck
1500 bucks a month for a kid is ridiculous

Is it bad not to buy toys for your infant?
Corrina
She is @ daycare every weekday from 9-5, but I have no toys for her @ home. I don't see the point. On Saturdays, I hold her and sing & dance while handwashing laundry, and other cleaning, and cooking, then in our other spare time we just go 2 the beach. My mom always makes me feel so guilty, she bought her a ton of stuff and she never played w/ it so I took it to GoodWill
Answer
I dont think it is bad not to have toys for your daughter but I think that you should have some things for her to play with around the house. Wheter it be some activites such as crayons and coloring books or some sort of game for the entire family. Too many toys can spoil a child but not enough toys can delay development. Toys can be very educational for children or all ages...depending on the toy. Although she get her play time at daycare it is important for her to learn the quality of playing alone at home...at daycare she is with many children for her to interact with. At home she will need time with her parents...sounds like you've got that part down...but she also needs to learn to play on her own to gain some independence and feelings of responsibility and control.
