well the first like 9 months cost virtually nothing since I nursed the baby soley for at least the first 6 months, then he started eating solids, and it got only a tiny bit more expensive, but when he started on more formula it was like an extra $40 a week, so lame, plus diapers and wipes and clothes and the ridulous bull you never realize you need until the moment. I would say try and travel when the baby's small, but it's hard because you're sleep deprived, then once they're 1 theyre running around and toddling and jesus christ its exhausting...and that's expensive, now he only has whole milk (like a gallon a week) and eats tons of food, snacks, real person food, juice, everything. Plus, taking on a child, for life, and having any more than one, is very costly, did you want to have your own kids? Will that be put on hold? Just curious :)
It will be completely worth it, but there will be times where you want to pull your hair out, you scream at each other and cry over not knowing what to do, just be ready for it and know it's very normal :)
yeah, we were wanting our own babykins. it would be amazing to have something that is kinda you. and, as they grow notice your own traits. but, as of right now its going to be put on hold. thanks for all the advice, i really do appericate it x's a million. since i can't breastfeed, i'll have to use formula. is there any that is better than the others, or is it all pretty much the same? <3333333333
i used Similac, i also heard that (since babiestummies are really only ready for breastmilk, they puke up formula A LOT) Similac is extra gentle on the newbie tummies.
I would buy the huge pack of the dry mix online at diapers.com. its just like, buying in bulk for cheaper, they do free shipping (over 50$) and you get the shipment in like 2 days. I used them for a while, but it was weird i never bought the big bulk of formula becaause i was never sure i needed it, but you KNOW you will :)
Similac is also cheaper than most formulas (the all natural organic stuff is good for little tummies too, "Natures Best" or something is great cuz its not sweetened with sugar but I know its a bit more expensive and the organic by Similac is sweetend with sugar which is not so great blah blah i would just buy the bulk of similac advance or similac w/iron WHEW
GOOD FOR YOU GIRLFREN!!! You guys are super sweet, dont hesitate to ask me anything <3
