A new post has been published over at the Starlight Baby blog: 15 Essential Financial Tips To Follow Before Baby Arrives Would love to hear your thoughts on this topic below!
Great tips and I think we were very well prepared when we decided to have a baby with almost every point you mentioned in your post. My wife was eligible for maternity leave but she decided to take a longer leave than what was she eligible for. We both have corporate health insurance that covers hospital and all other expenses.We were mentally prepared beside learned a lot from family and friends (that is available to Indians a plenty lol). By the way, according to Indian traditions we do not have to provide a separate room to new born but a cradle is sufficient in our own bedroom.
Preparation is everything! It's wonderful to hear you are ready for the responsibilities of parenthood. Things could go crazy if parents are not prepared in all aspects - financially, psychologically, etc.
