How much does it cost to raise a baby from birth to one year?

It depends. One of the most common ways to save money is to breast feed the baby if it is possible. It also goes a long way in the development of your baby. Studies show that the breast milk does wonders for you baby as it develops. Many important vitamins that only breast milk can provide, not formula or other bottled milk which are very expensive. One large can of formula can set you back (depending on where you live) $15-35 per week. Then you need diapers and again depending on several factors mentioned above can have a wide range in cost. About the same range as the formula. There is much to consider and the best place to go for answers and any help you need is first your family if possible, second is your local Department of Social Services which can point you in the right direction and provide you with detailed specific information that is very useful.
