Can someone give me a ballpark figure of how much a new mom should expect to pay for diapers and formula per week?
I realize there are a lot of variables that would affect the costs, but I am just looking for a range.
Thanks. 1|1|Diapers depending on brand and no coupons... $10-15 more when they are younger as you change them more frequently|Kristy|mi3zons1@yahoo.com|15:04:02|10/27/2009|

4|4|cloth diapers have come a long way, they started when my son was born(22 years ago) making them fitted, look just like pampers but cloth, have elastic in the waist and legs|HONEY11|HONEY1@AMERITECH.NET|19:18:04|10/27/2009|
and no more pins, held together with snaps or touchtape(high grade of velcro). I make my fitted diapers trim so they fit over the babys clothing perfect, not bunchy. A person saves about $2,500 from a babys birth to age 3 using cloth instead of disposable. Many moms use choose cloth if they plan on having more than one child, just makes more sense and diapers can be used through several children. There are even board where moms buy used diapers and pay half the value of each diaper, so moms make out well a win ,win and they don't lose money.

I have a one year old so it hasnt been to long.
He ate goodstart it was $11.97 a can and he ate
two a week and he went through about one pack
of diapers a week. Huggies are $10.00 plus the
two cans were $24.00. Roughly $35.00 a week.

I actually thought the expenses would be much higher. 7|3|There are lots of other necessities though that come along with an infant|Kristy|mi3zons1@yahoo.com|21:47:33|10/27/2009|
From receiving blankets, car seats, strollers, and the list goes on.
