Summarize this article:

Many types of cloth products will be advertised to you as a new parent. Restocking items like disposable wipes is an unending process which can cost you hundreds of dollars. Instead, use old towels and a water spray bottle. Don’t bother buying a portable changing table. You already have a bath towel. You probably have handfuls of old T-shirts at the bottom of your drawers ready to be scooped up and repurposed. Use one of these instead of buying a new bib. Also, find a pair of scissors to cut up a few shirts into reusable wipes, or even cloth diapers. New parents are a cash cow for marketers. There are warmers for items like bottles and wipes. Instead of buying these, consider all of the warming elements around your house already. Instead of a bottle warmer, for example, start with warm water to mix formula. A wipe warmer will not make your baby happy. It could actually dry out the wipes. Changing a diaper simply isn’t a fun process for either of you, so it’s best to just use things you already have. Rather than spending up to $100 a month on baby formula, it could be worth the time and effort to breastfeed. Some new moms who decide to go this route are tempted to purchase nursing gear, but be aware that many hospitals and birthing centers rent out breast pumps to nursing mothers.  The La Leche League is a non-profit organization that provides free support for nursing mothers. Visit www.llli.org for information about free lactation classes near you, podcasts, FAQs, and more. It could be more convenient to simply hold your baby up in a regular bathtub or a sink than to own an extra baby accessory. Many new parents find baby bathtubs to be cumbersome to the point where they end up in a yard sale a month or two later. Not every room must be limited to a single use. Your baby will not feel slighted if they must share a room with a few storage items or a bookshelf. Spend valuable parenting energy on baby-related tasks other than painting and repainting rooms.
Use old towels and a water spray bottle as an alternative to pre-moistened wipes. Find new uses for old clothes. Avoid specialty warming products. Breastfeed if it is an option. Use the sink instead of a baby bathtub. Partition a section of a room for a nursery.
