来自婴儿用品公司Philips Avent的Deneice Harwin表示：“我们的研究显示，在孩子平安降生前，初为父母的人中，有四分之三为理财问题而担忧，显而易见资金问题备受关注。”
　　Deneice Harwin, from baby products company Philips Avent, said: 'Our research shows that three quarters of new parents worried about how they would cope financially before their baby had even arrived, so clearly money is a major concern. '

　　“我们了解到，这些新手父母们经常会陷入疯狂购物的状态，三分之一的人承认自己过度消费，买一些不实用的东西。”
　　'We know that new parents can often get caught-up in a new baby shopping frenzy, as a third agreed that they spent more than they needed, buying things they didn't even use. '

　　“只要稍稍研究一些自己的实际需求，购买一些品质高的耐用品，这些新手父母们就能在婴儿出生时，平均省下136英镑。”
　　'By doing a little research into what they will really need, and buying good quality items which will last, new parents can save an average of £136 when baby arrives. '

　　“而在准备迎接第二个孩子时，基于上次的生育经验，这些家长变得更善于理财，在购物方面也变得更加理性了。”
　　'By the time a second child has come along though, parents are more cash-conscious and make more informed purchases, based on what they learnt first time around.'
