How much did you spend on your baby in the first year?

Question

I'm not talking about medical bills. Just like clothes, formula, baby essentials, cribs, car seats, etc

Answer

Aside from all the one-time purchases we made prior to our daughter being born, we really had next to no monthly expenses for her. Just diapers, wipes, formula, and maybe the random bottle of shampoo or Tylenol or other small things she may need. Maybe $150-$200 a month tops. So $1800-$2400 that year. Now she's 20 months and potty trained so we don't have any of those expenses. She costs us maybe $50 a month at most.

Answer

Our baby is 6 months and we spend about $200/month on formula. Diapers and wipes are about $35 a month now. Previous sizes were a few dollars cheaper. Her crib was $600. Car seat was $160. Stroller was $60. I have no clue how much we spent on clothes to be honest. We didn't use daycare so didn't have to worry about expenses for that.
