THIS IS HOW much money we spend every single month on our four month old baby. Whoa. All right, I'm gonna speed run through everything. So formula is about $80 a month. We buy two containers. Each container is around $40. It lasts about two weeks each. Diapers are around $55. Wipes are around $20 dollars per month. Baby clothes, they, it's about 25 to 30 dollars a month. Toys are another $15 dollars a month. Health insurance is $50 a month. Case they break. Baby soap, lotion, diaper cream, medicine, that's another $15. Bottles, pacifiers, replacement supplies, that's another $20 a month. For a net total of $300 per month. So it's not that expensive. People make it seem like it's really expensive. When they start little bit older, expensive. But when they're little newborns, infants, they're pretty cheap.
