Depending on how old ur baby is. If newborn then have to spend more since diaper change is more frequent. My baby is a month old and since birth, we have been change around 9-12 diapers a day. So a pack of S size merries (~$20 per pack) only last about slightly over a week. As for formula milk we only use for night feeding, an 890g tin of milk last about 2 weeks ($65). Diaper cream last only about a week ($7-10 per tube). Lotions, body wash still yet to top up since a month ago but shouldn’t cost more than $50 a month depending on the brand. I’m using cetaphil baby.

Only on stock up month I buy one shot, the other months pretty much nothing and no need to buy. (Based on my 21mo LO) Formula - Bought in bulks (last 2 months) $380-$400 (Newborn formula will be more expensive, but I gave bm till 18mo so can’t advise) Day diapers (Pants) - $60-$70 (1-2 months) Night diapers (Tape) - $50 (1-2 months) Lotions and body wash can use quite long (2-3 months depending on usage) so I usually get 3-4 bottles each, I use cetaphil baby $10 per bottle.

Sorry for the late reply. She’s been wearing tape since nb till now (21m) as I feel it’s easier to change her and can hold more pee compared to pants (also because I only like merries pants but doesn’t hold too well for overnight). So I use pants for day, tape for night.
