Help estimating prices for baby products!?
I need to find an estimate of how much a baby costs for their first year of life.
(I’d greatly appreciate all help! Even if you can only help with one object!)
These are the objects I need prices for:
~Clothing~
*Diapers
*Undershirts
*Socks and tights
*Booties, shoes
*Pajamas
*Sweater
*Snowsuit or Jacket (I’d probably just do jacket myself)
*Hats, mittens
*other
~Feeding~
*Bibs
*Formula/Nursing costs
*Infant Cereal
*Baby food (jars)
~Sundries~
*Shampoo
*Soap
*Oil and Lotion
*Powder/ointment
*Cotton balls
*Baby wipes
*Laundry Detergent & fabric softner
~Equipment~
*Bathtub, bathinette
*Crib & Matress
*Bassinette or Cradle
*playpen
*High chair
*Car seat
*Stroller
*baby swing
*Walker
*Baby Carrier
~Supplies~
*Silverwear, Dishes
*Bottles
*Nail clippers
*Childproof covers and locks for doors
*Latches for cupboard doors
*crib mobile and toys
*Waterproof matress covers
*Sheets and Matress pads
*Bumper pads for crib
*Heavy blankets
*receiving blankets
I have no idea how many of each I’d need either :/ An estimate of how much of anything needed would be lovely! I have no idea how much a baby needs of these objects. A week/month/or yearly estimate will be fantastic!
Thanks bunches to all help in advance!

~Clothing~
*Diapers – Buy two times a month, a box is about $20, so $40 for the month.
*Undershirts – You don’t need undershirts, you need onesies, a 5 pack of onesies are $10. Sizes are 0-3 months, 6-9 months, and 12 months. You will need about 2 or three packs for each size.
*Socks and tights – Socks are only about $5 a pack if you get plain ones then you’ll get about 8 pairs if you get ones wish designs you’ll only get about 3 pairs. Again same with the sizes.
*Booties, shoes – You don’t exactly need shoes until it is cold or they are walking.
*Pajamas – I’d say buy 7, they are about $8 each.
*Sweater – Depends, plain are only about $10, fancy about $15 to 20.
*Snowsuit or Jacket (I’d probably just do jacket myself) – For a baby baby I don’t think you should do a jacket, but for older like 12 months they’re anywhere from $25 to 50.
*Hats, mittens – Beanies when they are small are about $8 for a pack with two beanies and two pairs of mittens.
*other – you will need bottoms, preferably cotton ones for newborns. They are about $8 for a pack of two, or you can buy individually at like Target for $3.50 each. You’ll need about 7 at least.
~Feeding~
*Bibs – $10 for a 4 to 5 pack depending again on if they are plain or have designs. You’ll only need about a pack or two.
*Formula/Nursing costs – get WIC.
*Infant Cereal – Don’t need it until 6 months but you can introduce at 4 months, it’s only about $3 a box. A box lasts a month until about 8 months.
*Baby food (jars) – They’re anywhere from 2 for a dollar to $1.20 each depending on if you want generic or not.
~Sundries~
*Shampoo – once a month about $4 a bottle.
*Soap – Get the body wash and shampoo mixture in the same bottle.
*Oil and Lotion – You’ll only need one bottle of oil the entire year, lotion about once a month or every two months both are about $4.
*Powder/ointment – $4 each, again once a month or every two months.
*Cotton balls – never used em, but I did and still use Q- tips, Depending on what brand anywhere from $2 to $4.
*Baby wipes – Twice a month about $7 each
*Laundry Detergent & fabric softner – Depends on if you’re going to use Dreft or regular, Dreft is about $12 for a box but it lasts all month.
~Equipment~
*Bathtub, bathinette – Depends, anywhere from $10 to $20.
I give up that’s too much stuff!!!
It all depends on what you want. All the furniture is a one time purchase.
Just look everything up at Babiesrus.com and get a calculator and start adding!!!

~for nail products and hair combs for babies usually come in a pack together so that would be one price for more then one year-around $5-$15 depending on how big the kit is.
~Bottles -i would think about $30-$75 for a year.
~Diapers -(you will need a lot of)about $50 a month depending on the size of the box.Huggies brand could be about $16-$38 per pack depending on size of box.
~Under shirts-long sleve are $9.99 per 3 pack-short sleve are about the same so about $70/month for 21
~socks/tights- 8/pack socks for $10
