I was one of those mothers that couldn’t produce enough milk. So getting milk from reliable sources was nice so I didn’t have to use as much formula. Because that stuff is expensive. I do agree that kid was way too old.
My son decided he was done breastfeeding a little after he turned two. It was so painful, I don't understand how she just stopped making milk. just seems fishy lol
The breast milk is 100% the issue! Are y'all insane?! There is no telling what illnesses, diseases, or infections her friends have and I would even wager on the high likelihood that they would not rat themselves out should they have any std's (which, unless you're brain dead, MANY of them can in fact be passed from breast to baby, which is one of the other huge reasons donor organizations exist and why they test every person who donates rigorously). Not to even mention drugs that those women may take or other potentially dangerous substances that her baby may be allergic to or affected by. People: DO NOT BORROW BREAST MILK FROM YOUR FRIENDS! NEWBORNS ARE DELICATE AND CAN DEFINITELY DIE IF YOU GIVE THEM BREAST MILK THAT HASN'T BEEN TESTED!!! There's also no way to ensure the milk was collected and stored with any sanitation in mind. If the friend left it out too long, is sick, drank liquor within a certain timeframe, didn't wash or sanitize the storage containers or the breast pump, or didn't refrigerate/freeze it prior to it being handed over, then it's a disaster just waiting to happen. Hell, even despite our not so great financial situation + my inability to produce yet because our daughter was severely premature/delivered at 29 weeks and we owed a shit ton of money for several months of NICU in addition to my body not producing as it tried to play catch up...I still would NEVER have used breast milk from a friend, family member, or stranger I found online. I would still go through donor organizations and make that drive so I didn't risk my child's life. Poverty and trying to save are not legitimate excuses. Lack of producing is not an excuse. There are benefits to assist women even above the poverty line (which we were by several thousand, yet still were granted snap) that do in fact take a lack in production as a qualifier. That woman can 100% apply for snap benefits and get it through much safer means. And if the kid is too old to meet those qualifications, then it's damn well bloody time to get the kid on regular milk, regular foods, and water. That kid shouldn't have to be forced to drink something potentially dangerous, especially on live fvcking tv. This whole this is absolutely sickening. The breast milk is most definitely a problem and she is no better than an antivaxxer refusing their kid vaccinations out of pure ignorance and wanting to seem bbette/wiser than everyone else (despite actually looking bloody rεⵜαгdεd and like a neglectful parent to the rest of society).
@@foolishlyfoolhardy6004 I agree there are a thing as reusable diapers but they have inserts the shirt isn’t going to absorb like they do and I’m pretty sure that the mess will get everywhere not arguing just an observation
A sweet friend of mine from high school produced a lot of milk. This was just a year or so ago. The couple had fertility issues and didn’t think they could get pregnant. After years of no baby, she got pregnant with a cute lil girl. 😊 She put the excess milk in the freezer and saved it for women in their small farming community that needed help. It brought a tear to my eye that she could and she would.
Sorry u aint trusting that. Idk what nutrients she had when she produced that. For all we know it'll fill the baby up and not give any nutrients. Formula is best for growth while breast is best for baby foods.
Why do people think they have to have a changing table? All I bought was the pad, since it's coated in plastic. You just put that on the floor to protect the carpet, or on the bed to protect the bedding, and if anything leaks out you can easily clean it off the plastic-coated pad. So cheap, so easy, and it's portable. This lady is crazy.
Agreed! I bought one when I had my son because it was on the list on necessary items. I can count on my hand the amount of times I used it. Don't waste your money people!
My little sister (foster family) was also changed on the floor, couch or bed with a simple regular cloth underneath - not even with plastic - and I've seeing pics of my brother and myself (both birth family) on a padded mat on a regular table - with a cloth cover so I don't know if the mat was plastic or not. I mean if you want a changing table, go for it, but it's really not necessary by any means, especially since kids are already super expensive without stuff like that.
Aren't changing tables pretty outdated in general? Seems that's why so many in the older generation are tapped. Lead in the cribs and headfirst dives off fancy antique tables.
I have helped someone with a milk supply problem before, and I have tons of friends who have donated to milk banks. Breastmilk being shared isn't as taboo anymore, thankfully.
( Not speaking for this lady) . Some women can't produce breast milk. There are actually many reasons why a woman could suddenly stopped producing breast milk even if she's healthy. There's also a condition called elastic nipple where breast pumps make it harder to produce breast milk. There's actually breast milk exchange programs to help mothers and families who are going through issues of this type. Furthermore some families want their children to remain on breast milk so if the mother is unable to produce they will often find these programs to help them. Wet nurses have been helping in this way since forever.
I think the word is more she did is “borrow ” the breast milk,so how you gonna give that back? But alot of people said the child/baby, looks older then she needed the milk for
Yeah. I've been reading up on ancient Chinese history and I find it fascinating how noble houses handle breastfeeding. Somehow, noble women and women from the royal family are not allowed to breastfeed their babies. They will already have at least two wet nurses available, which are nursing mothers hired from commoner families. They are brought in early on then isolated and treated well to ensure that they are eating healthy and have no conditions WHATSOEVER (even if it's just a tiny rash or dandruff 😅). Sometimes, they are not allowed to go out and their movements are monitored because they are one of the ways the families' enemies can harm the babies. They're scared that the wet nurse can eat foods that can affect their milk and cause reactions on the baby or even poisoning. It's a veeeery lucrative job but pretty dangerous, coz your entire family can sometimes be used as a collateral. Comparing this to what's happening on the video is kinda funny.
As some who WORE cloth diapers as a baby, way back when (I had an allergy to the chemicals they used to put in the disposables at the time, apparently), I remember seeing the old style ones around, and occasionally my Mom still would use one on my brothers when thwy were little in a pinch (aka, we ran out of the disposables). You're right Ken, the cloth ones don't really save money or the environment that much because of how much laundry you need to do because of them. They also need changed MORE often (the disposable ones can hold up to a bit of wetness a LOT better, especially during the day). Seemed like the cloth ones, as soon as any little dribble got on them, they needed changed because baby was uncomfortable and rashes would develop faster if left for even a short amount of time.
Please do a longer video of just you and Buff (and Mary if she wants too) just talking to each other and discussing things. Love listening to you guys chat especially on those longer videos!😊
I believe about 15%of women don’t produce enough milk and formula is expensive. Formula has went up $100 atleast! So I completely understand getting milk elsewhere. Also, some cultures breast feed longer for they believe it’s better for their child.
@@crosales8184nope! Only Americans believe that breastmilk stops being beneficial after 1 year! In many developed countries women breastfeed until age 2, 3 and longer!!! The World Health Organization and American Academy of Pediatrics both say the longer you breastfeed the better it is for the baby.
I love me a good bargain but a changing table from a gas station is just something else haha, your videos are awesome sir, thank you for your content, always cheers me up :)
Born 91 here, my parents used cloth diapers. Back then there was a service that would collect, wash and restock you with clean ones. Services like that probably don't exist any more with how normalized disposable diapers are
My parents did tht with my sister and me in the late 80s/90s. You cam still have a laundry service pick up clothes, but I have no idea abt cloth diapers lol
An old, potentially unhygenic change table duct-taped to the wall is not safe. You shouldn't put such a high price on safety.. especially for a baby! :(
That changing table was also just sitting on a stool... Could've at least duct-taped it to the stool as well (this is a joke, use something more stable, dang it)
The cloth diapers made of old t-shirts is a good idea, IF she made them right. My mom made and used them in the 70's. She also switched to disposables with me. lol
I saw a documentary and selling breast milk is a VERY lucrative industry and when I say lucrative I’m talking over $100 million dollar industry. The documentary goes on to explain the women that provide the breast milk have to go through physicals & various testing to ensure they’re healthy & not on any substances. There’s an agency that acts like a middle man between the mother buying the milk & the one providing it. I got the impression that it’s one of the many things rich people do to make their lives easier. Maybe the mother can’t produce enough milk or honestly doesn’t want to be bothered with the process of pumping & they hire the agency to find a mother willing to sell her milk.
Okay, I've only been able to produce milk for at most 3 weeks. Then my body just stops. I was so lucky to have a sister in law who gave me her extras once her babies got bigger. It really helped me
I use cloth diapers during the day and disposals during the night as well as when not at home. It definitely makes laundry a constant struggle. Using cloth diapers and breastfeeding has saved so much money for our family.
Cloth diapers are great! The only downside is they are expensive and yeah the laundry.....BUT if you get in the habit of rinsing and handwashing them in the sink and letting them airdry on a rack, you can save on that laundry Ken. They airdry quickly once the waters out. You get a good stockpile of liners and shells, the disposables are best saved for travelling.
I didn't produce milk at all and received breastmilk from other people for my preemie daughter. This is very common! Nothing wrong with it! Everything else though... nope
I think it was only talked about 'cause the child was (maybe) 2 years old? So there isn't need for that milk any more at least in that capacity. Is she giving the child milk to cheap skate on food or what?
4:04 That lady 100% just wanted to boohoo and act like they did her wrong because people started recognizing her after the show. She wouldnt specify which things were "faked" because they werent. The condition of her house, her hygiene, and her getting food out the trash were all her. She just regretted having it broadcasted on tv.
I saw something that said she was just an actor and none of that stuff was real....maybe it was real and the actor claim was just a way to deny it all? Who knows. Can't believe anything you see on these shows, but there's also a lot of weirdos out there, so I wouldn't be shocked either way.
@@vaderladyl yeah, definitely!! I know this from firsthand experience, too. Long time ago, back when Joe Rogan was still the host, I was on Fear Factor. And, despite the fact that my teammate and I were totally getting along with all the other couples (as we had been together at the hotel, and at the doctor checkup we all had to do, etc) they told us to talk shit to each other and be adversarial when the cameras were rolling to add to the drama. So, I have always since then looked at all "reality" tv with a skewed and skeptical eye.
Some women don't produce enough breast milk, no matter how often they feed or how soon they give birth. I don't think sharing breast milk is that weird especially if you are close with the person or related. Ever heard of a wet nurse? Just my opinion🤷. I do agree that the other stuff she does is weird.
Agreed, my grandma shared her milk with the local hospital and two friends during de 2d ww. Back then this was normal and very apreciated. My nana had big big boobies hihihi
There is a breast milk bank were some mothers donate for women who can't lactate in India. It helped atleast 200 infants in my city according to their report. This is India btw. Bangladesh decided to ban it as giving breast milk automatically makes the baby the daughter or son according to islam. Which could potentially lead to incest if a mother's milk shared and given to too many babies, Which is asinine.
@patrickgragg5602 some people prefer giving their kids human milk as biologically intended and that’s ok. Some people choose to give formula for reasons other than not being able to produce milk. Both are totally okay.
Maybe I'm being a little judgemental here but if a parent won't spend money on the necessities for their child like the bare minimum they shouldn't have one. She's selfish.
As a former hard dr*g addict… please don’t bring a changing table into your home. I never put any substances on them but I know most addicts wouldn’t think twice if it’s the only surface available in the bathroom. Please be careful and always wipe them down or bring a changing pad or towel or something like that to use as a barrier between the surface and your child’s skin.
I miss the episodes that are a little longer. I feel like, I just get settled in to watch and then it’s over😢 Love your content tho, and I mean.. I get it. I guess🙄.. 😂
Feel so sorry for these kids as yes kids can be expensive and there are ways to cut corners to save having them. My sister-in-law had the cloth diapers for her two daughters. She showed me how it all worked and it does save, but the set she had was expensive though they went through two kids (barely). She would agree with Ken the washing machine was always going. My husband and I just had the mat for changing with two washable covers. So much cheaper then the changing tables and worked well for us given the convivence. Even had a little make shift caddy to hold diapering supplies. Now our pack and play also had a changing spot on it which helped as well when it came to diapering.
OK, the changing table makes me laugh! I save money by changing my babies ON THE FLOOR OR THE BED!! Just cover it with a changing pad, you don't even need a special table for that. 🤦♀️🤣
Ken Thankyou for continuing to post all the time. After Felix and Sean stopped posting so much I’ve been running out of regular vids to watch ❤ keep up the good work we appreciate you!
In relation to the breast milk sharing thing, that’s still totally normal to me, especially if you have people you know and trust who are willing to donate. I’m an over producer and I’ve been lucky enough to be able to help a friend from church who had her son the same time as me and her supply plummeted suddenly. I understand how that could seem weird, but at the end of the day breast milk is breast milk. And yes, fed is best but formula is virtually unaffordable nowadays so finding donors can be a huge blessing.
sharing / donating breast milk has been normal for all of human history, there are even milk banks. as amazing as formula is, having saved countless infants over the generations, breast is still best when it's an option.
When I had my first one I gotten a wooden changing table that I just put on top of the dresser I had at the time. I cleaned it and I would just whipe it down when done. But once baby was a year I got tired of it so I just changed them on floor or couch lolol 😂
I donated my milk lol actually loved doing it 😂😂 But I like how she said the changing table was the most expensive 😂😂 girl.... wheres the carseat?? WHAT carseat did you use??
Many people in other countries do breastfeed until about that age, that is not abnormal. And if no one makes an unnecessary fuss about it, the kid should be fine.
@@vaderladyl Until 6!?! Wow, you just blew my mind. It seems like if they’re old enough to chew, they shouldn’t be on the nip! But I guess that’s just me. 🤣
@@vaderladyl it's not unnecessary: there is no scientific evidence that points to any benefit from nursing beyond the development age of a toddler. Mammals are not genetically coded to benefit from long-term lactose/lactase consumption. ERGO, IT'S FCKING WEIRD.
I do want to say, i did lose my breast milk supply when my baby was 6 months old and not from lack of feeding her... she would scream while trying to eat but get nothing and the drs found out i was sick and needed surgery. Losing breast milk isnt always from a lacl of trying
Ok the T-shirt diaper is last-resort, ran outta diapers at the amusement park or lake or what have you, survival situation pinch hitter for real diapers. It’s the “just for the ride home” band-aid you never tell your friends about. And the t-shirt is summarily burned after. (We had this happen once, and my husband rigged the shirt via some origami sorcery) Not for every day use!
I used cloth diapers with my kids, and I would definitely say that if you want to do them you need to get quality covers and inserts or there will be poop everywhere. You will also do a lot of laundry so watch for how much it increases your utility bills, but overall its probably cheaper than disposable diapers. Would not suggest trying to fashion an old t-shirt into one. Also I made a stack of changing pads and changed on the floor. Fabric is cheap and you just need to make a big square to change on so pretty simple.
When I was babysitting my niece when she was a baby all we had was this thin plastic thing to put underneath her and we just changed her on the bed, couch, floor, whatever. Very portable. Very cheap. Or just use an old towel or something. You don't need an entire piece of furniture dedicated to changing diapers.
I took as much donated milk as I could with my youngest son and I cloth diapered and used homemade (washable) wipes with my older two kids to save money out of necessity. Some of this isn’t totally crazy. 🤷♀️
I have triplets and their brother is barely a year older. Formula was insane and that's when it was around 25 a can. I couldn't imagine these days. It's ridiculous. I would have became homeless.
To be fair, some women don’t have a large supply of milk. Some women struggle with it. But that child seems too old…
I agree I don’t think the breast milk is a problem it’s more of the not buying wipes or stealing a changing table or using a used shirt as a diaper….
I was one of those mothers that couldn’t produce enough milk. So getting milk from reliable sources was nice so I didn’t have to use as much formula. Because that stuff is expensive. I do agree that kid was way too old.

All diapers were re-useable cloth diapers until a few decades ago. Never heard of one having a plastic shell though.

And, despite the fact that my teammate and I were totally getting along with all the other couples (as we had been together at the hotel, and at the doctor checkup we all had to do, etc) they told us to talk shit to each other and be adversarial when the cameras were rolling to add to the drama. So, I have always since then looked at all "reality" tv with a skewed and skeptical eye.
@@PeriwinkleSunrise Yes, exactly. It is not all what it appears to be on TV.
No way, I've been binging past episodes the last couple of days and then I'm suddenly blessed with a brand new one?! 🙌🏻
Same! LOL
My wife had a hard time producing. And almost killed me when I suggested we could buy some.
Some women don't produce enough breast milk, no matter how often they feed or how soon they give birth. I don't think sharing breast milk is that weird especially if you are close with the person or related. Ever heard of a wet nurse? Just my opinion🤷. I do agree that the other stuff she does is weird.
Yep, my mom is a breast cancer survivor and when she had my sister she used milk from one of her close friends because she can’t produce it anymore
@patrickgragg5602 which is $40 a can in some places now. That can last only a few days
Agreed, my grandma shared her milk with the local hospital and two friends during de 2d ww. Back then this was normal and very apreciated. My nana had big big boobies hihihi
There is a breast milk bank were some mothers donate for women who can't lactate in India. It helped atleast 200 infants in my city according to their report. This is India btw. Bangladesh decided to ban it as giving breast milk automatically makes the baby the daughter or son according to islam. Which could potentially lead to incest if a mother's milk shared and given to too many babies, Which is asinine.
@patrickgragg5602 some people prefer giving their kids human milk as biologically intended and that’s ok. Some people choose to give formula for reasons other than not being able to produce milk. Both are totally okay.
Maybe I'm being a little judgemental here but if a parent won't spend money on the necessities for their child like the bare minimum they shouldn't have one. She's selfish.
Bra! It is the lady. She's moving up in the world of TLC! Lol😂
We not onna talk about how cluttered and dirty the house and fridge? Cmon ken you usually spot these things lmao 😂
@5:45 we said “you don’t need a changing table” in unison 😂
Girl has to be a first time mom lol
IYKYK😂
“Borrow”
right like ... is she going to give it back or what? lol
Now that I have a kid. Watching this 😂 her child has grown all of these items and she can’t seem to let go 😂
Somewhere there’s an owner of a gas station who watched this episode and said,
“So that’s where that changing station went!”
I feel sorry for these kids if you want to be cheap don’t have kids…kids are expensive
My thoughts exactly. I'm actually curious as to what she spends all the saved up money on 'cause I'm sure I can hate on it
@@frostdemen1 They are just doing it because, no real reason for saving. It can get to be a mental issue with some of these people.
@@vaderladyl That would mean these people have some serious savings
Wait, for free? Damn, my friends really cheated me out on my money.
As a former hard dr*g addict… please don’t bring a changing table into your home. I never put any substances on them but I know most addicts wouldn’t think twice if it’s the only surface available in the bathroom. Please be careful and always wipe them down or bring a changing pad or towel or something like that to use as a barrier between the surface and your child’s skin.
“Can I borrow some breastmilk?”
“Yeah as long as you bring it back.”
I have two in cloth right now and your right the washing machine never gets a break 🤣
"Hello, the human cow. Why not? Luxury milk. Lady milk!"
You dont need a changing table you can just use the floor. Also just a wet rag or a shower sprayer can replace wipes.
I miss the episodes that are a little longer. I feel like, I just get settled in to watch and then it’s over😢 Love your content tho, and I mean.. I get it. I guess🙄.. 😂
Feel so sorry for these kids as yes kids can be expensive and there are ways to cut corners to save having them. My sister-in-law had the cloth diapers for her two daughters. She showed me how it all worked and it does save, but the set she had was expensive though they went through two kids (barely). She would agree with Ken the washing machine was always going. My husband and I just had the mat for changing with two washable covers. So much cheaper then the changing tables and worked well for us given the convivence. Even had a little make shift caddy to hold diapering supplies. Now our pack and play also had a changing spot on it which helped as well when it came to diapering.
Who would have thought crusty underwear could sell books.
5 minute crafts: extreme cheapskate edition
That baby is gonna have a super charged immune system!
OK, the changing table makes me laugh! I save money by changing my babies ON THE FLOOR OR THE BED!! Just cover it with a changing pad, you don't even need a special table for that. 🤦♀️🤣
I had to pause and watch the Kate interview. These people are just regular people put in the hands of producers and binding contracts
1:45 sounds like you need to claim some royalties lol.
The way Ken says "the POOP!" 😂
Ken Thankyou for continuing to post all the time. After Felix and Sean stopped posting so much I’ve been running out of regular vids to watch ❤ keep up the good work we appreciate you!
In relation to the breast milk sharing thing, that’s still totally normal to me, especially if you have people you know and trust who are willing to donate. I’m an over producer and I’ve been lucky enough to be able to help a friend from church who had her son the same time as me and her supply plummeted suddenly. I understand how that could seem weird, but at the end of the day breast milk is breast milk. And yes, fed is best but formula is virtually unaffordable nowadays so finding donors can be a huge blessing.
Yessss!!!!❤
"the baby cooker" 😂😂😂
sharing / donating breast milk has been normal for all of human history, there are even milk banks. as amazing as formula is, having saved countless infants over the generations, breast is still best when it's an option.
Now I understand why people steal formula and it’s ok in my eyes
Do You how many lines of powdered sugar have probably been done on that changing table? That baby is gonna be ITCHING for a duper change 😂
Nice. At least one person wishes me a happy bday today!
"there's my pad boy!" HAHAHAHAHA right?!
It’s my birthday today 🎉. Thanks for posting a video on my birthday!
The shot of both of you together at the table sent me straight back to Meme Couch 😭
When I had my first one I gotten a wooden changing table that I just put on top of the dresser I had at the time. I cleaned it and I would just whipe it down when done. But once baby was a year I got tired of it so I just changed them on floor or couch lolol 😂
you guys are great. thank you for brightening my day.
I love how you said underwear thing and I knew what you were talking about haha
My birthday is Saturday and I'm probably the most excited to finally hear Ken say happy birthday😅
It’s been WAY too long since last cheapskate video!! THANK GOODNESS for bringing it back guys!!! 😍❤️
That last bit, with the t-shirt, was beyond ridiculous.
That changing table is the realest thing I've ever seen
I LOVE YOU GUYS 😂😂😂😂😂 thanks for the laughs godbless you!!!!
Ken has one of the greatest memories lmao
OMG my skin is crawling Broke mentality BROKE REALITY 😂
I donated my milk lol actually loved doing it 😂😂
But I like how she said the changing table was the most expensive 😂😂 girl.... wheres the carseat?? WHAT carseat did you use??
Thank you for doing so!!❤
Ngl I’ve used an unwanted T-shirt in a bind before but just to be able to run to the store 😂
Ken, thank you for being my UNO reverse card against my depression every day! 💚
My friend nursed until he was freaking six. He had little brothers and sisters so momma just kept pumping it out, he kept sucking it up..🤮
Oh my goodness…that fellow will have issues!
@@suzybearheart530 will, he acts like an entitled nippl..oops, nepo baby, so there's that.
Many people in other countries do breastfeed until about that age, that is not abnormal. And if no one makes an unnecessary fuss about it, the kid should be fine.
@@vaderladyl Until 6!?! Wow, you just blew my mind. It seems like if they’re old enough to chew, they shouldn’t be on the nip! But I guess that’s just me. 🤣
@@vaderladyl it's not unnecessary: there is no scientific evidence that points to any benefit from nursing beyond the development age of a toddler. Mammals are not genetically coded to benefit from long-term lactose/lactase consumption. ERGO, IT'S FCKING WEIRD.
I've done the homemade baby wipes when I was too broke to buy actual wipes, put em in a ziplock bag and they stay moist lol
I do want to say, i did lose my breast milk supply when my baby was 6 months old and not from lack of feeding her... she would scream while trying to eat but get nothing and the drs found out i was sick and needed surgery. Losing breast milk isnt always from a lacl of trying
I'm sure they know that. That kid is 4 tho she stopped lactating cause nature is telling her no.
Hey I grew up with cloth diapers lmao
Ok the T-shirt diaper is last-resort, ran outta diapers at the amusement park or lake or what have you, survival situation pinch hitter for real diapers. It’s the “just for the ride home” band-aid you never tell your friends about. And the t-shirt is summarily burned after. (We had this happen once, and my husband rigged the shirt via some origami sorcery)
Not for every day use!
Saw this video and immediately came to comments to see what my fellow ladies had to say 😂
It's actually pretty common to buy/sell breast milk
Haha like wtf. If you wanna save cash then avoid having kids = easy solution lol
That kid is still wearing diapers| GEEEEEEEEEEEE
Dad of two children here, just need a towel and the world is your changing table.
OMG ITS CRUSTY UNDIE LADY!
Today's my birthday ❤. I'm going to listen you your videos on repeat, but I'm thoroughly grateful to have one today 🤗
I feel like I'm the complete opposite and saved a fortune by not having a child period
🤝 child free for the win
@@Air_Serpent i love my friends kids from 20 feet away.... With air hugs
I said it many times before;…..God am I happy I don’t have kids.
Extreme Cheapskates is my favourite of your reaction series’!
Even if it’s the same lady, I’m very happy to get my fix through you guys!
Bruh, I legit saw the thumbnail and was like "she kinda looks like the thrift lingerie lady". 😂
I used cloth diapers with my kids, and I would definitely say that if you want to do them you need to get quality covers and inserts or there will be poop everywhere. You will also do a lot of laundry so watch for how much it increases your utility bills, but overall its probably cheaper than disposable diapers. Would not suggest trying to fashion an old t-shirt into one. Also I made a stack of changing pads and changed on the floor. Fabric is cheap and you just need to make a big square to change on so pretty simple.
When I was babysitting my niece when she was a baby all we had was this thin plastic thing to put underneath her and we just changed her on the bed, couch, floor, whatever. Very portable. Very cheap. Or just use an old towel or something. You don't need an entire piece of furniture dedicated to changing diapers.
I took as much donated milk as I could with my youngest son and I cloth diapered and used homemade (washable) wipes with my older two kids to save money out of necessity. Some of this isn’t totally crazy. 🤷♀️
My parents put me in a sock drawer for my bassinet 😂
I have triplets and their brother is barely a year older. Formula was insane and that's when it was around 25 a can. I couldn't imagine these days. It's ridiculous. I would have became homeless.
