Budgeting for a new baby

happybunny86 · 2016-03-29 19:11:46

I'm pregnant but unfortunately found out just after I changed jobs so I'm not eligible for maternity pay beyond statutory. We aren't sure how long I can afford to have off work so are going to try and work out what we can afford. I have no idea how much a baby costs! Can anyone help with realistic costs? It's more the day…

We used huggies nappies, then they stopped selling them in the uk, then eventually settled on sainsbury's own brand after trying loads of different types.

No matter what you use, £200 is a lot of money for nappies.

As I said, baby isn't here yet so I don't know what to budget. £200 pm is just my estimate and isnt just for nappies.
