I was trying to figure out about how much parents spend on there infants during their first christmas. I am currently out of work and a single parent so I dont have much to spend. But, I was wondering what the average for someone that young is. She has plenty of clothes so I'de be buying her toys and dvds. She love's the baby einstein toys I got her their set of 24 dvds on ebey for about 50 bucks and a jumper for around 90. Plus some small little gifts like teethers and light up toys. All in all I probably spent 350 (which has mostly been charged). But, do yall think that is about right?

The first christmas you don't spend much because 1) they can't do much and don't have a clue what's going on and 2) You'll learn quickly that each Christmas gets more and more expensive and more difficult to purchase. Enjoy it now!!

There's no 'about right', your baby doesn't care how much you spend on her, so don't stress it. Buy her whatever you want or can afford right now. You can't get her too much or too little. My daughter will be 6 months by Christmas. So far we've spent a few hundred, but planning on spending quite a bit more only because there's so many more ideas we have and how many neat things are out there. It all depends on what you can afford, what you think are neat things for her to have, and where you go to buy them.

that's a little over the other side for a 3 month old, but it's your money, your baby and your bussiness. My baby is 10 months old and I'm getting her diapers for Xmas, she's the 1st grandchild on both sides of the family and the super uber spoiling grandparents are covering the toy part. I have learned the hard way she has more fun with the wrapping and the boxes LOL.

I think that is way more than you needed to spend. Your child will probably get so many things from relatives also. She won't know any better if you got her a million toys or nothing at all. My son was two months old for his first christmas. We decided to get him one present from me and one present from my husband. It wasn't something really big but it was something that we thought that he would like. We labeled one from santa and one from mom and dad. I think we spent a total for $80 on both gifts.
Save your money on presents for her this Christmas. You'll need it to develop the 10 rolls of film from all the pictures you'll probably take this season instead.

No. I think you overdid it and are trying to brag. For my daughter's 1st Christmas, my husband and I spent about $20 getting her things like bath toys, a xylophone, and a stuffed animal to hug. She will be 3 in January and still has all those things. My parents and other family members bought a lot of gifts too.

Ok so my son is three months old and I am struggling to find things to put on a christmas list. Your child is not going to understand Baby Einstien videos at three months... way to start TV addiction early. All your baby wants right now is for you to play with them and give them attention not throw a bunch of toys at them that they are not going to remember anyway. Get her a walker and she will be content for the next couple of months anyway until she is running around the house.

somebody else purely asked a similar question! understanding what to purchase for toddlers could be no longer basic! right here is my take: we are in the comparable boat (our son is 4 months immediately. We desperate that when you consider that he had each thing he relatively mandatory and would not relatively get Christmas somewhat yet, we'd initiate putting money away for him. We informed our relatives this and whilst many are going to get him presents for 6-9 months (that we are in a position to place away till then), many others are going to make a contribution to his fee reductions. effective theory and provides him a head initiate! to help him comprehend and rejoice the season without bunch of presents, we are making a music to our son, showing him the tree, speaking to him approximately Christmas, playing Christmas music. He even had his percentwith Santa! maximum suitable of success and enjoy him this holiday season!
