Breee if that was aimed at me then yes I do:) lol I feed him a fruit in the morning and a vegetable at night and he's still eating 6-7 6oz bottles a day:/ he's a chubber

That's with two boys

I buy between one and two boxes of diapers a month which are parents choice diapers not name brand they are $20 a box and if you have a health department near you can get WIC which helps you afford formula

[mizy_g]

I read that the first year of a baby can be about ten thousand dollars

[breee08]

Ya the older they get, the more formula they'll need. Are you feeding him puree food?

[yourstruly21]

For me it costs about 200$ a month now, my son will be 5 months in a week...that's about $50 and diapers and 150 in formula. I suggest if yu plan on buying diapers, tape the receipt to it so yu can exchange them if yu need to

I use cloth diapers, which i make myself, have spent about 50 per child from birth till they are out of diapers some from gifts too.  Have been lucky enough to get tons of hand me down clothes, and all the rest as gifts at my baby shower with my first and second.  I exclusivly breastfeed.  Other then medical bills my babies have cost pretty much nothing until about 6 months, then a few dollars a week in baby food (i make my own). Babies really dont need too much, a place to sleep, food, and clothes, diapers and a car seat.  If you nurse you have one of those taken care of for free, we co sleep so baby sleeps with us.  We did buy a crib at a consignment shop for about 60 with our first though.  Clothes you can buy at a consignment shop or thrift store, or garage sales for not too much, and can find lots if great deals on the other baby items you may need, or want.  Even places like craigslist.  Babies really dont have to cost a fortune.

If you can breast feed or pump that will save you some $$ !!

[breee08]

If you already have clothes,  figure about $50 a week. A box of diapers a week, and a thing of formula.
