5000 for diapers and clothes in the first (or any) year? How?
Babies expensive, yo.
Not just diapers, but formula is expensive, as is wipes, clothes, all the shit you need for them really.
Napkin math. A box of Huggies size 1 diapers sells at 10.50 for 32 diapers, or roughly 30 cents each. My newborn spoiled a diaper about 7 to 8 times a day on average, it let's easy say 2.50 a day, 356 days or about 912 dollars in diapers for the first year.
That doesn't count wipes, powder, up sizes as they grow. I suppose you could go premier diapers as well, but yeah there's probably an easy 3000 gap on clothes
Don't forget medical visits and one other thing... Hmmm, what was it again that almost half of children born end up needing again? Oh yeah, baby formula.
I could see that, we went through a lot of diapers with my kid. Clothes pile up between 4m and 8m especially because the size fluctuations between manufacturers.
How much did you spend the first year?
