First Year Baby Catalog By: Morgan Cheyenne Strumski 3/1/10 nk_baby-costs
Outgoing Costs Child Care: I wont be using regular childcare. Most likely an occasional baby sitter, averaging $20-$30 per sitting. Monthly costs of diapers and wiper per months: $90-$100. I will try to breastfeed for a while, and I will also be switching up between formulas ($100+) and solids (50+) per 6 months. I will want my child to be fashionable, so I will most likely be spending $100+ per month on baby clothes and accessories. I will try to save $45 per each month for my Childs college fund. Medicine and first aid, may vary $25+ per month. Toiletries $25+ per month. Toys/Books/Media will vary $40+ each month.
