LIKE any excited mum-to-be, Meghan Markle is loving the countdown to her due date.

There are, however, ways to make big savings on some baby essentials . . .

• Sweet dream: Where your baby sleeps is very important and can cost a lot but Aldi has you covered. This week their SpecialBuys are all baby-related — with a Moses basket, complete with stand, for just £29.99. The cute crib comes in a whale, elephant or swan design and the cheapest similar basket on the high street is £50 from Mothercare.
  Saving: At least £20.01


• Video nights: Keep an eye on your new arrival on the cheap, thanks to Lidl. Baby monitors can cost up to £200, but Lidl’s Big Baby Event starts today and includes a brilliant Motorola video monitor for just £39.99 — down from £69.99.
  Saving: £30

• Nappy happy: There is no way to avoid the cost of nappies — parents spend around £23.52 on them during the first month — so stock up at Boots’ baby sale, this week. You can get Pampers Pure Premium Protect nappies for just £5, down from the usual price of £8.
  Saving: £3


• Bulk bargain: Buy ahead of time and save big on baby-hygiene essentials. Morrisons’ 64-packs of Nutmeg fragrance-free sensitive baby wipes, 56p, are currently six for £3 — making them 50p a pack.
  Saving: 36p

Hayden Panettiere
Size: 8
Age: 18
Height: 5ft 1in
Weight: 8st

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”

SATC star Kim swears by gym sessions with Russian kettle bells (traditional cast-iron weights) and the South Beach Diet to give her the body she wants. To avoid overeating, Kim has a radical diet trick – squirting lemon juice on her leftovers – so she won’t carry on picking.

Kim says: “I am no super-thin Hollywood actress. I am built for men who like women to look like women.”
