Hello everyone,Recently we had a newborn and I don't know how to approach this situation - I'd like to know everyones thoughts on a child education savings plan. 

I have found that a really good approach on this site is to find as much info as you can on your own and ask specific questions like an objection that is brought up by a motivated seller.
