Primark launches budget range for newborns with prices starting from just £2.80

Please join us in a round of applause for family favourite Primark, who are launching a new range of clothing just for newborns.

We don't have to tell you that raising children is a pricey affair, and whether it's spending on sterilisers and bottles or nappies and tickets to Peppa Pig World, saving those pennies are a must. So it's always great when the high street stores are on your side, and have the old purse strings in mind.

At the moment you'll know that the current Primark children's range is great, but the sizes only start at nine months. Now that's all set to change, The Sun reports, because from today they will be offering baby grows suitable for little ones weighing 5lbs or more, all the way up to 36 months.

The new range also includes toys, hats, bibs and outfits, all at the amazingly low prices Primark fans are used to.

You'll be able to get a five-pack of bibs for £2.80 - that's 56p a bib! - and a two-pack of hats and mittens for the same price.

Among the many items on offer are a pack of seven short-sleeved sleep suits for £7, a fluffy onesie for £8 - both great buys for keeping tiny tots warm this winter.

There will also be lots of baby outfits on sale, including one set of dungarees with Disney's Dumbo the elephant on the front which come with a T-shirt and cost £9.

And, if you have a baby shower to arrange, or attend, then look no further! There are toys like a sweet rabbit for £5, and a rattle which looks like a squirrel for £3. Other Instagram-worthy decorations include a heart-shaped spiral, and an owl music box, both of which come in at just £7 each.
