What is the average monthly budget look like when you have a baby?
well my mom just had a baby and I asked her and she said without daycare costs will only be for formula and diapers. Formula is $25 per can...one can a week. Diapers are about $30...last almost two weeks. Round to $200 a month. And she said she buy's premium diapers...you can get store brand much cheaper.
P.S. She said also that a good cost for daycare is around $500 a month so basically you are at $700 a month for the baby...
But then count in buying new clothes about every 2-3 months...She said she spendsaround $100 and the baby is good for awhile.
You spend what you want. Some people think Gymboree and Janie & Jack clothes are a necessity. I'm fine with onesies from Walmart.
I think babies are expensive mine cost milk £8 each and I buy 2perweek so that's £16 per week nappies are £6.95 and I get 2bags of pampers every week + nappie bags there a extra £1 the baby wipes are like a £1 a packet and I buy 5packets a week and jars of food I buy about 20 a week and that is just over £10 and thats if there on offer not to mention all the lotions and stuff they need for the bath and all the clothes they need as they grow all the time
If you breastfeed then that's free. Diapers $70 a month Daycare $600 a month Not to mention clothes, bibs, baby water, laundry detergent, wipes, baby cereal
that's for the first 4 months then comes...
baby food, more baby clothes, laundry detergent
it gets so expensive...
