'I feed my toddler on a £10 a month budget using bargains from Lidl and Tesco'

A mum has shared how she feeds her child for £10 a month by making her own baby food. Leigh Morris, 33, a health care assistant from Gloucester, gave birth to her son, Ieuan, in December 2021 – joining her son Theo, seven, and step-children Imogen, 13 and Leo, nine.

Leigh and partner Bryn, 42, are saving money by making their youngest’s food themselves. "After doing some research on shop food and prices, it would have cost me around £18 a week on the jars and £75 a month if he was having three jars a day," Leigh told NeedToKnow.online.

“I can’t afford £75 a month on jars plus baby milk and nappies on top. On average I spend £10 a month on three meals a day for him.”
