My son drinks fresh milk at $8.15/3 cartons, goes through a carton every 2-3 days so it's about ... $40 a month? Diapers we'd get in a carton from Shopee, after discounts and everything it's $25-30 depending on what promotions and deals I can get. Baby wipes is $15/10 packs of 70pcs, also bought from Shopee - we use a brand called Nature Love Mere! Lasts us for a few months. Bath & shampoo is a 2-in-1 from Baby Burt's Bees, it's $21.90 per bottle but also lasts several months. My son doesn't really eat snacks anymore, or rather kids snacks? He has bread or biscuits, or mainly just fresh fruits! They're part of what we buy for adults' consumption so I won't include the costs, but it's probably about ... $20 or so? For food, we mainly cook at home - one round of groceries costs around $20, lasts for a week so a month would be $80? We also eat out/buy takeaway at times so I'll probably amount that to $50-60 (I sometimes bring him to "nicer places" to eat). All in all, about $250 or so? We save more on the milk, diapers and wipes but spend a little more on food, some items are also good to last for few months (ie. wipes, bath & shampoo)
