My friends the Criso’s are one of the hardest working families in the baby business. Many of you know them from their fantastic baby store The Birth Boutique in Denville, NJ but parents outside of the NJ/NY area are now discovering their fantastic new breastfeeding resources through MyBabyExperts.com. Shari Criso recently shared her secrets for keeping a budget with a baby on NBC10 Philadelphia, so I thought I’d share them because she’s highlighting many of my favorite products and providing great tips that will save your family thousands!

Have fun and stay healthy,

PS – Sorry for the ad at the beginning of the piece, but it comes with the video.

I know we have a growing number of Australian fans out there based on blog comments and email, so I thought I’d announce that you no longer need to order from outside of the country…or the continent for that matter.
