I am planning on being a stay at home mom to be with our first child. I am trying to make a list of monthly expenses I should expect to spend on our baby.
My list so far:
Clothes: $0 (Have plenty from baby shower and used clothes from friends for first year)
Medical insurance premium for baby: $70
1 monthly doctor visit co-pay and prescription co-pay: $35 (all vaccinations included)
Random OTC medicines: $10
Food/Formula: $0 (Breastfeeding)
Wipes: $5 (Only buying wipes for diaper bag, wash clothes used at home for wipes)
Diapers: $7 (Cloth diapering, $7 for dryer only, water free with HOA fees)
Shampoo/Lotion: $10
Laundry Detergent: $10
Daycare: $0 (Stay at home mom)
Increase in utilities (Only heating for baths): $10
Toys/Pacifiers: $25
Total expenses so far: $182
What else am I missing? What are your baby expenses?
