Raising a baby has become more expensive. In fact, the U.S. Department of Agriculture found that the cost of raising a child from birth to age 18 has increased nearly 40 percent for a middle-income, two-parent family. Between diapers, formula and clothes your little one will outgrow in no time, families everywhere are working longer hours and clipping more coupons than ever just to save a little cash; however, thanks to these Pittsburgh baby clothing stores, parents no longer need to sacrifice style for savings. After all, who says your bundle of joy can't save you a bundle of cash?
