Most of the responses probaby have you covered but I have to admit I was SHOCKED at the montly cost of being a Mom!
$100-150 incr in insurance
$40-60 co-pay for Dr. appt the first 6 months at least
$60 -90 1 / large can of formula / week x 4
$30 diapers -- If you buy the large pack @ Sam's
$25 wipes
$25-50 misc creams / med's ( Tylenol, etc)
$600-800 daycare
clothes ( I used hand-me-downs)
shoes " "
baby-sitting ( use family for free for this)
Average total : $880-1205
I am queen of hand-me-downs, garage sales and thrift & consignment shops. And definitely appreciate the kindness of my friends and family when they have something ( babysitting, toys etc) to share!
