If baby is a bottle, it is he who chooses his bottle.So no need to buy several of the same brand immediately.Start by making him test one or two models of different brands.In general, 4 or 5 bottles are enough to feed baby.The teats are changed as soon as they start to present signs of wear and tear.- Lot of 2 Easy Start 260 ml bottles, € 17.80 at MAM, - a bottle heater (it is not essential, you can give milk at room temperature provided that baby agrees to drink it): Count aThirty euros (Tigex, Tommee Tippee,...), - an electric or microwave sterilizer: from € 20 to 100 €.

Infantile milk (and the mineral water that accompanies it) represents a significant expenditure not to forget in your budget.Baby will consume it for the first 6 months.On average, a box of first age milk (up to 6 months) costs 12 €.Count 4 to 5 boxes per month, or € 60-70 / month.Between 720 and 840 € per year.

After 6 months, you can provide regular consumption of small pots, snacks and taste in addition to milk.Small organic pots, vegetable risotto from 8 months, organic hip, € 2.50 for 2 jars of 190 g.Growth milk and cereals, from 10 months to 3 years old, Guigoz, € 5 for 4 500 ml bricks (at the rate of one per day, so around 30 per month, this represents a budget of approximately € 37).Baby takes 4 meals a day: from milk to breakfast, a salty dish + a dessert for lunch, a yogurt and a compote to snack and milk + a vegetable puree at dinner, which still represents 2 small jarssavory per day + 2 yogurts and compote.Financial level, the "homemade" is much more economical, since you can make large amounts of purees and compotes and store them (in the freezer).Finally, it takes a few bins to avoid tasks on clothes: € 8 for 5 bibs at Kiabi.

Baby toilet treatments and change

For baby toilet, again, you have the choice among many products.The essentials remain cotton and water to clean the baby's seat and the liniment, mythical natural care, which helps get rid of the slightest soiling while protecting baby's skin at the time of the exchange.The toilet is carried out with a neutral pH soap but the range of toiletries for toddlers is very large!From corporal milk shower cream, including cleaning lotions and wipes, the list is long and the prices very variable depending on the brands.A liniment costs around 8 € (the liter) and a dermatological bread around 5 euros.Also plan some complementary care such as physiological serum (eyes cleaning), eosin and wipes (pollutants therefore preferably used, especially on the move).Alternate layers of layers to find the one that best suits your baby's buttocks.In order to get an idea about their effectiveness, have experiences rather during the day, just to be awake at night in case of untimely leaks!Are you tempted by the use of washable diapers?From birth to 3 years of the child, the disposable diapers budget can go up to € 1,500.A washable layer kit costs between 500 and 700 € and can also be used for baby 2, baby 3...And in addition, it's more ecological!

Expenses to dress baby

During the first 6 months of baby, plan 6 to 8 day outfits and as much for the night, by size.Some sweaters and a coat are also necessary.Do not forget to capitalize on the gifts you will receive: probably a lot of clothes!Besides, the birth lists are made to help you ask what you miss.Buy to start only a few essential clothes: - Bodys.Count 31 € for a lot of 7 long -sleeved crossed bodysuits at La Redoute at € 23.90 a lot of 3, 100 % organic cotton, at Petit Bateau.- Some pullovers.The prices of sweaters and cardigans start from € 15 at Vertbaudet.- Socks, a small cotton hat...will also be expected even before the baby arrives.

Baby room, essentials at various prices

Baby spends a lot of time in his room in the first years.Better to equip it comfortably and with strong and secure equipment.You will need to start:

- a baby bed.Prices vary from € 55 (Sniglar at IKEA) to more than € 800 for a baby's bedroom bed.- A wardrobe or a dresser with shelves: count € 92 (Stuva cabinet, IKEA) to just over € 230 for a chest of drawers at Vertbaudet.- a changing table, from 110 € a fixed and durable model up to 3 years and a changing mat from € 10.

Baby toys, a variable budget

Nothing essential, nor vital: this is an area where you have fun because a simple toy can have a baby for a long time (which will not always be true afterwards, so take advantage of it!) Before buying, always check that toys comply with the safety standards in force and adapted to the age of your child.The first baby toys, up to about 6 months, are often a rattle (€ 8), a mobile to hang above his bed (around 30 €) and a drunken -dryer plush (25 €).

Equip baby at home

- a portage scarf: from € 44 at Love Radius, or a baby carrier, from € 80 for a physiological model.- High chair: it becomes essential especially at the time of food diversification.Before, it is useful if its seat lengthens entirely: it can thus act as a deckchair.In any case, choose there very stable so that it does not switch if baby stir a lot.The prices vary between 60 and 180 € on Amazon,- deckchair: from € 40 on Amazon,- two bath towels: bath set, cape + glove, from € 15.90 on the redoubt.

Walk baby and secure him by car

City car, trek, scalable...The prices vary from one model to another and it is better to choose your stroller because you will use it every day.For a comfortable stroller from birth, prices vary enormously.Count between 150 and 600 € (at Kinderkraft, baby comfort, cybex, joy, uppababy, nuna...) Depending on the model and from 60 to 200 € (Nania, Inglesina, Peg-Pérego...) for a second age stroller.Baby gets by car only in a dedicated car seat, it is compulsory, security question.Practical because it adapts most of the time on the stroller, the price of car seats, also called "shells" and "cozy", starts at 50 euros (Nania Beone shell) and amounts to more than 250 € forThose to I-Size standards.

Childcare methods, a budget to be expected

Crèche or nanny?The price range is wide and the differences are important depending on the solution chosen.Baby's child care fees are around 60 % of the starting budget (1).Between hourly minimum wage, employers' charges, caf aid...We get lost there quickly.The crèche represents the most economical childcare mode.

Baby health, a compulsory expenditure position

Medical visits, vaccines, drugs, etc..Generally, baby is seen once a month by the doctor or the pediatrician who follows him, not to mention the visits due to diseases and small worries.If you have a good mutual, so much the better, if not, it's a position to budget.The pediatrician fees amount, at least, at € 32.Contact your town hall or other local organization to benefit from free maternal and child protection services (PMI).This service, led by a doctor and a team of professionals in the medical, paramedical, social and psychological fields, is responsible for ensuring the protection of pregnant women and children up to 6 years.

Project the presentation celebrations to the family and others

At home, at the restaurant, in a village hall...The formulas envisaged to welcome baby to be more or less expensive and difficult to quantify.We can also add expenses which are not directly attributable to the birth of baby, but which often accompany the arrival of a new member in a family: moving, larger accommodation, new car, acquisition of a washer-dishes...The list is long, but nothing is essential: it all depends on your lifestyle, you will certainly not need everything.Again, have you lent, offer, exchange...

Advice to limit expenses to the arrival of baby

- Open a birth list (or even several).The birth list is a good way to have you offered the necessary and the superfluous for your baby.Most stores and websites offer this service.

- Buy used products.Websites (leboncoin, vined, etc..) are full of offers to equip you at a lower cost.However, in order not to come across a scam or be disappointed with your purchase, it is better to remain vigilant.Do not hesitate to ask questions about the date of purchase (if it is equipment) and ask to see the equipment before concluding the sale.In any case, never buy a used car seat, security issue.

- Buy on purchases during the sales period.By anticipating your purchases, you will do business!

- Make yourself.DIY is a trend that asserts itself all the more to limit expenses: to do yourself is cheaper.
