Having a baby can be an expensive time. The new baby will need a cot, pram, clothes, bottles, steriliser, car seat and many other items. A young parent can receive financial help from:
Parents/family may help to buy some essentials and expensive items such as the pram and car seat
Friends may help to buy some essentials as they can be expensive to buy for the young parent, they may offer to buy nappies/clothes/feeding equipment
Vouchers may be given as presents for the young parent to help them to buy essentials like the cot or blankets for the baby
Educational Maintenance Allowance can be received by the young parent on a weekly basis if they stay in school and are aged between 16 and 18 years
Government benefits will be paid to the young parent for bringing up the child to help buy essential items as they grow up
Organisations such as Sure Start can help to provide items for the home if the young parent was having difficulties
