Your Questions About Baby Care

The Expert answers:

Look, I totally disagree with the first response of you getting knocked up and looking for a job. That was just rude. Rather you have a job or not, your baby needs it’s milk. You would need to go to your local Health Department and tell them you want to sign up for wick for your baby. And go to the food stamp office and sign up for food stamps. Get everthing you can from the government because you deserve it. I am sure either you, you mom or dad or other family members have worked and have paid taxes for years so you should get help with your baby. Yes, perhaps you need to get a job to help support your baby but in the same sense what the hell does it matter if the government has to take care of one more child. Hell, the goverment sends our money to other countries when the people in the USA need help. We have a really f***ed up system. To take care of other f****g countries and there are people starving right here in the USA. So dont let these responses get to you. Perhaps you could go to college. I was 16 when I had my son and I never got Welfare, but is was hard but when my son when to kindergarden I went back to college and got a business degree. I dont know your age, but whatever you do, dont give up on your dreams. Best wishes…..

If you want free samples, I would check http://www.sampleaday.com for it. They are great because they are updated daily and all of their offers are “catch free”, that means no long surveys, no pay offers. They also have a e-mailing list where they send you the free samples listed on their site. I use that so I get them in my email (but IT IS NOT REQUIRED TO GET THE FREE SAMPLES). Their descriptions are pretty funny too! If you are looking for a specific type of free sample, there is a categories list and a search bar right above categories so that you can do searches.

The Expert answers:

Check with your Department of Health. You may be eligible for Medicaid–to cover the rest of your expenses. You may also be eligible for WIC to help with food for you and the baby. My husband and I struggled through the hospital bills with our first, just to find out we probably could have gotten some sort of assistance. Your hospital probably has payment options, as well. With our second child, we were able to pay all of our hospital bills right away–except for the BIG one. We’re making equal monthly payments for a year and not paying any interest.

Another thing you should look into is a Flexible Spending Account. If your company offers this as one of their benefits, sign up for it during the open enrollment period at the end of the year. Since your baby is due in January, this may be a real help. The way it works is: You estimate how much your medical bills come to for the year. You tell the FSA administrator that you want to have that amount in your FSA. You get that amount to spend UP FRONT. Then, you repay the amount out of your paycheck for the rest of the year–and that comes out before taxes. I have 2 kids and a husband that are on my benefits. I estimated that we’ll spend about $1040 on medical expenses. So, $20 a week comes out of my check for that–and since it’s pre-tax, I don’t even miss it. The rules of the account state that I can only use that money for medical, dental, prescriptions, and OTC medications for me and my dependents. And I have to be able to produce receipts for these expenditures when they request them for IRS reporting purposes. It is worth it, though.

Good luck and Congratulations!!
