Monthly cost estimates for a newborn. My husband and I are having a big discussion tomorrow and I need some real numbers so we can look at our budget. I live in TN, if that's important.

I plan to breastfeed. I will definitely have a baby shower, most likely 2. I will be buying diapers (not cloth).

***I did a lot of research on a few different sites and math on costs around me.***

I got about $35,000 for the first year (some of the items I chose were NOT on the cheaper side, some were).
