95% of things on this are irrelevant. A baby needs 4 things. 1. warmth 2. Feeding, shower and number 2 3. Sleeping 4. Hospital The rest is luxury by parents. 1. Warmth: Babies don't care if it's Gucci or a cheap one from DT. 2. Feeding: If the mother has milk, this is free. If she doesn't, babies won't care the brand of formula unless they're allergic. In villages they even go straight to cow's milk. 3. Sleeping: Babies don't care even if they're sleeping on the side with mom and dad. 4. Hospital: I'm a doctor and can tell you that it doesn't matter which hospital as long as you see a good doctor and from experience, a good doctor can be found in an expensive one and a cheap one. Even another option is going to government but buy drugs for yourself. Raising a child is soooo cheap, it's parents with expensive desires. If it wasn't cheap, then it would've been like a Benz. You can't find a poor man owning one but at least, everyone will own a child and raise them within their means. Get a child, raise them within your means. Don't use them to quench your childhood traumas of going to school with Mr. Picfare math set when rich kids had Oxford sets. Now you feel like your child has to be the one with Oxford... If you can afford it, fine but it doesn't matter.
