7. Make your own baby food

There are no magic ingredients in baby food, - generally it's just pureed meals. However, it is free from any artificial nasties and you control what your little one is eating. Soft fruit and plain home-made food (without salt, spices or sugar) is fine for babies, just make sure it's really well blended.

8. Speak to your employer

Ask your employer if there are any grants, allowances or offers that they have for pregnant employees. Some large companies have special deals with other local companies that offer discounts or free advice.

9. Buy own brands

Most of the time there's really no difference between a famous brand and an own-brand, cheap variety. Usually, it's just the packaging that's different. So, when you're shopping for pregnancy and baby stuff don't be swayed by a flashy label, go cheap 'n cheerful instead.

10. Stock up on essentials

Keep your eyes peeled for BOGOFs (Buy One Get One Free) and other deals on baby things before the birth - you'll be surprised at how much nappy cream and wet wipes you can get through!
