This means you will need to set aside from $75-$125 a month just for disposable diapers. If you intend to feed your baby formula rather than breast milk, you can add another $100 a month to your budget for formula. you can expect to spend anywhere from $100 a week to more than $800 a week for the care of a newborn.
Pay the $36.00.

We just had our second. My wife delivered at a birth center using a midwife. The total for the delivery and all prenatal checkups was about $2,500. Screw overpriced hospitals.
Also, instead of buying disposables, use cloth diapers. About $400 gets you set up for the kid and will cover from infant to toddler.
/point taken however, I just wanted to put that in there.
