    I have no idea! Lol I'm breastfeeding and cloth diapering so I don't have to buy alot. Maybe a few bucks a month for clothes since she won't stop growing lol.
  • victoriareneevictoriarenee
    @Bahamamama4828 lucky you lol i'm going to breastfeed too but we all do things differently so I was just trying to get a variety of what ladies pay a month :)
  • Bahamamama4828 Bahamamama4828
    Oh I forgot wipes! Maybe $20 a month on a box
  • MissQ_1stTimeMommy2BMissQ_1stTimeMommy2B
    This was a great ? got me thinking over here but I'm going to give you estimates!
    *Diapers $75-$100 on 3/4boxes
    *Wipes $20-$30 on a box or 4-5 containers
    *Milk $15 on a extra can to go with my Wic(a life saver)
    *Clothes-she still have so many that was giving to me & that ppl still give me so I don't have to buy any YET! (But if I see a few cute things while out I can't resist lol)
    *Bath & body essentials-I'm still using my baby shower gifts(after 3months)
  • victoriareneevictoriarenee
    @MissQ_1stTimeMommy2B soo roughly about $150 tops?
    I can only get WIC until my lo is 4 months:/ then we dont qualify when hubby is deployed :(
    yeah i have alot of cousins ready to give me hand me downs, just waiting for me to tell them the gender on tuesday lol

  • victoriareneevictoriarenee

  • JuliansMommyJuliansMommy

  • victoriareneevictoriarenee

    I formula feed, no its not bad at all if it weren't for wic I'd be spending at least 300 a month. I only have to buy 1-2 cans of formula. The rest is on diapers, wipes, and clothes:)
  • victoriareneevictoriarenee
    @WyattsMommy yeah when i go back to tx im getting a costco membership lol

    @JuliansMommy yeah thats good then! Formula is hella expensive! If I do have to use formula, I will have to pay out of pocket so im going to really try bf.

    How many diapers would you say you go through a month?
  • tinka1326tinka1326
    I would say around 100 a month depending on if she needs clothes, when she gets close to needing a new size I spend about 100 on clothes
  • preggointxpreggointx
    I spend about 30 or so on huggies one box and one pack per month I use, coupons I buy 2 cans of milk extra a month I but clothes and shoes too but not a set amount
  • victoriareneevictoriarenee
    @ta2edblondie I hope that i can ebf! What did you use to make your own food? Did you buy the bullet?

    @tinka1326 so you spend $100 on diapers and wipes a month? or do you buy other things?
  • victoriareneevictoriarenee
    @preggointx one pack of wipes? thats really good! yeah clothes and shoes are kinda ehh since every baby grows at different paces
  • JuliansMommyJuliansMommy
    We buy 2 packs of the pampers brand I believe there's 174 in each box.
  • tinka1326tinka1326
    Im in Australia so no wic here but I ebf if I didn't would be about 120 on formula, 60 on diapers and 15 on wipes, then bits and pieces like replacing a dummy, teething gel, wind drops, a new blanket....
