NEW parents spend up to £1,000 preparing for a newborn. Here’s how to cut those cot costs.
This week, there are some seriously good baby events on, so whether you’re expecting or know someone who is, tell them about these deals.

MAMIA MIA: Aldi’s award-winning Mamia range is one I always recommend but its big bi-annual baby sale begins this week.
It has some particularly brilliant travel items such as pushchair parasols for £6.99, travel blackout blinds for £19.99 and the online exclusive Ickle Bubba 3-in-1 Travel System which is £199.99.
I’ve seen similar 3-in-1 systems for upwards of £260 so make a purchase now and save in the future.
They’re online now but land in-store on April 5.
ORIGINAL SAVINGS: The Original Factory Shop’s baby sale has just started and includes up to 60 per cent off top baby brands including Pampers and Johnsons.
For new baby gifts, it has plush cot toys from £6 and baby blankets from £8, and then more practical new mum items: £20 off a Fisher Price Booster Seat and £3.99 off Pampers Premium nappies.
Hit tofs.com now.
MUM’S THE WORD: You might not be aware that Mothercare still exists at Boots.com.
At the moment you can get 70 per cent off selected baby clothes (including some adorable pink leopard-print joggers for £2.10, down from £7 which is a £4.90 saving) and also, if you spend £30 on baby items – from the practical to the pretty – you can save ten per cent.
BY GEORGE: There are always good offers from George at Asda but one of the best new mum gifts is a Grobag for babies to snooze in.
Currently, it has lots of lovely designs but the cheapest is a jungle-print one for £16.99 down from £31.49.
Plus, Disney nursery bedding sets down to a fiver from £7, including very cute ones featuring Dumbo.
