No idea on the formula – my son is nine months and we’re still nursing (and he is eating home cooked baby meals – no Gerber jars here, thankyouverymuch) Since I work, we had the expense of a pump, but it is $300 that has more than paid for itself.

However, we do use disposable diapers. He is in daycare and they do not do cloth. It didn’t make much sense to me to deal with one added complication on weekends when that is really the only time I have to play with the baby and get things done around the house. (You may call me a wimp now) We have been buying from Costco when there are coupons and sales, and have not paid more than 8 cents a diaper yet. You have to have the space to store the stock-up and buy larger sizes though… our guy grew so quick that I have had to exchange to a larger size a few times.

That was buying Luvs- the cheapest “name” brand out there. My sister in law used Huggies up until a few months ago when her son potty trained and they spent around $60 a month. And these are the costs of diapering an older child who uses way less diapers than a newborn. we’ve been using up the diapers we had around the house and I know Josiah was easily going through 8-10 a day, we bought one pack of newborn diapers, 36 diapers for $10.25, at 10 a day that’s $85 a month! we’ve never done the formula thing, so I have no clue about that. boy am I glad we use cloth… (and yes, I switched today, even though his cord is still hanging on by a thread! it’s so hard not to just pull it off. lol)
