Ms. Lindsay and her husband didn’t think twice about buying their daughter the formula she needed. But at several cans a week, the cost was still hard to swallow.

Veronica Dagher on Lunch Break has money tips for new parents. Parents-to-be who get their financial house in order have a better shot being prepared for the unexpected once junior is born and can save families from financial catastrophe.
