I have been using this for a year now and cannot tell you how much money I have saved on diapers and wipes. Also, no lugging big diaper boxes home from store! They arrive on your doorstep! Target diapers are also great and somewhat inexpensive, but I found some diaper brands on Amazon (with discount) are even cheaper than target (up and up) brand.

Good luck!

Thanks Toni & Lisa,

I am a working mom & never get time to find out all this so I survive on mom’s group & I think its very helpful for all the moms & for my next baby I am sure I will save lot of money on diapers.

I buy diapers from BJ’s  & never thouht that I can save so much money on diapers.

Thanks Tonni & Lissa for all this info.

This is very informative and cost effective on diapers. Shoprite baby bucks program is also very good.Every time when you spend $100.00 on Baby Bucks products , you’ll automatically be rewarded with a $10 Baby Bucks Coupon at the bottom of your register receipt. Use your Baby Bucks coupon to buy any products in shoprite store except those prohibited by law, with a minimum purchase of $50. Baby Bucks points are reset at the beginning of each cycle.

Hello All, we are moving from Jersey City to suburbs last week of December and I would highly recommend our nanny Miriam Caceres to anyone who is looking for a full time nanny. She has been with us for 31/2 years, a second mother to my 6-8 years old , extremely dependable, super patient and loving. I and our kids dote on her. She is super efficient around the house, keeps the place clean everyday, does kids laundry and cooks food for kids whenever requested. She has kept us sane, especially with my work schedule. She is very familiar with Jersey city , takes our kids to classes, helps them with homework ( with 6 year old daughter) and above all she is honest, and is genuinely like an extended member of our family. She has a great family, both she and her husband have helped us many times with shopping , offered to take care of kids for few hours on the weekends. Above all she does not gossip, something I have noticed with other nannies and have personally experienced it. We have been are extremely fortunate to have her and hoping she can find a loving family she deserves. While ideally we would wish for her to find an employment starting Jan, however I also do not wish for her to lose an opportunity should there be one earlier in mid Dec. Please contact me if you are interested .I can be reached at 917-583-7165 . Monica Sadhu

Thanks for posting this- will pass it along!

I’m a producer with NBC News national network here in NYC.

I’m reaching out with a request in finding a family who is struggling with childcare costs. Looking to highlight a family where both parents have to work or one must stay home because childcare costs are too high. Or perhaps a single mom trying to work and pay for childcare.

They would have to be willing to share their story on camera and be open about their financial struggle to pay for childcare.

Looking to do the interview this week, Monday Dec. 11 or Tuesday Dec. 12.

Thanks for any help or leads.

Kindest regards,
Elizabeth

Nice! Thanks!

Hoboken hospital and their maternity ward should be SHUT DOWN. The experience described was no where near what I had. I learned about the pampered pregnancy program and spoke with the representatives at various baby fairs in the area and believe me it was not at all pampered. I felt like I was a prisoner in a third world country. In general, the nurses were not very supportive, pushed me for a C-section (after I was told that the head nurse wanted to make it for a BBQ lunch they were having on that day), left me on an uncomfortable and painful gurney approximately 5 hours, did not allow me to see my baby for about 6.5 hours, refused to give me medication, and when questioned, indicated I would have to remember to ask for my medication. They made it an ordeal to take me to breastfeed my baby and were all around unprofessional. I was told that I should have been left on the gurney to make it easier to be wheeled to the NICU due to difficulty accessing the unit and then asked if I could use the wheelchair hours after a forced unnecessary C-section. I was bullied by hospital staff and surrounded by a entire team who could not provide me a reason for C-section with the exception that it had been over 6 hours since my admission and that was what hospital policy allows. In addition, when I asked to lower the amount of epidural because I felt numb on one side, the anesthesiologist seemed annoyed and said, “I’m not doing this again” if I needed the levels to be changed again. I could not wait to leave there! No gourmet meals, robes, or candles. The hospital has less than a 10% breastfeeding rate and the nurses I had the pleasure of dealing with did not understand English, therefore there was a language barrier as well. If that’s not enough, I refused to get a vaccine for my baby, stating I would have my pediatrician do it, and was told they did it anyway and to sign the form. The pediatrician who cleared my baby appeared so inept that he couldn’t put a diaper on and handed my baby back to me without a diaper on. I’ve heard the hospital is in bad shape and the staff they hire is at most subpar and had significant issues with their maternity ward. They are trying to re-introduce themselves as baby-friendly and a “great” place to birth by allowing midwives privileges, however they lack the necessary training and have not changed their hospital policies to provide women the choices they are entitled to when it comes to birth. This place is unsupportive, unprofessional, and the most traumatic experience ever. Furthermore, while I was there the maternity ward was a like a ghost-town. Their were only three other women in the entire ward. Please, if you don’t want to face such trauma, do your research and DO NOT GO TO THIS HOSPITAL!!! I’ve birthed before and this is the worst place possible. Oh and the hospital bill….WOW! They got more from my insurance company than places in the city billed!

can my 4 month old baby join?

My name is Joao Rela, and I am the manager of TRAJJ. I am excited at the opportunity to connect with you and your community.

I am excited to express our interest in attending your upcoming event. At TRAJJ, we specialize in providing jiu-jitsu classes tailored specifically for children aged 4 to 14 years old. Our classes run from Tuesday to Friday, offering a comprehensive curriculum designed to foster physical fitness, discipline, and confidence in young individuals.

We believe that events like yours provide an excellent platform for parents to learn more about the benefits of jiu-jitsu for their children. It would be our pleasure to share our expertise and insights with the attendees, offering them valuable information about our programs and the positive impact they can have on a child’s development.

In addition, we would like to extend a special offer to the families who attend the event. We would be delighted to provide a complimentary week-long trial of our jiu-jitsu classes for any child who is interested. This trial will give them the opportunity to experience firsthand the excitement and benefits of practicing jiu-jitsu in a safe and supportive environment.

To make the experience even more enjoyable, we are considering incorporating some fun and interactive games into the event. This will not only engage the children but also add an element of excitement to the proceedings.

We are eagerly anticipating your response and the opportunity to collaborate with you. Should you have any questions or require further information, please do not hesitate to reach out to me directly.

Thank you for considering our proposal.

Warm regards,

JP

It would be a great opportunity for the parents to connect with bjj and possibily take the chance to bring the kids for a trial class.

In exchange to that I would like to open a free week trial for any kid that attend the event.

Possibly adding some games to it as well.

Looking forward to your response,

Thank you,
JP.
