Are you surprised with the actual cost of taking care of a baby in the first year? Explain. Yes I am surprised because I never really thought that babies could be this expensive. This is really an eye open experience after doing this Expense Form. I am still in shock with the Grand Total of $6,396.00. Nearly $730 off with my estimation costs.
Suggest ways a parent could cut down on the costs associated with having a baby? Ways that parents could cut down is reusing items that isn't necessary to buy (e.g. baby crib, baby clothes, strollers etc.) Parents could also get funds from family if parents are not financially stable to afford all these items needed.
