How much does it cost to raise a child in Singapore?

I think it's a very hard question to answer because like many of the parents here say, it depends on a lot of things. Just to share my expenses - before your child goes to infant care or child care, the expenses are mainly on diapers, milk and maybe insurance. After your child goes to preschool, that's when the financial burden becomes heavier. For my 2.5 year old preschooler, he goes to Montessori school so the monthly fees after subsidy are about $1,000, but the diapers and milk costs go down because he uses less diapers and drinks less milk as he grows up. And we spend some of our extra cash on toys =D But i think whatever the expenses come up to, parents will want to give their children the best, and don't worry, things will always work out themselves.
