This depends on many factors, including if you are breastfeeding or bottlefeeding, using disposable or cloth diapers, etc. Breastfeeding, of course, is free. Bottle feeding with formula you can expect to spend about $100-$200 a month for the first few months, but this will increase as the baby gets bigger and eats more. If your baby has special food requirements, the cost will be much higher.

Diapers, depending on the brand and where you buy them, will cost over $100 per month as well, if using disposable. If you use cloth, your water bill may increase due to the extra cleaing you have to do, but the monthly cost won't be nearly as high.

Many doctors will want to make an appointment every month or every other month for the first year, you'll have to factor in the cost of your doctor as well.

If you don't need childcare or babysitting, you can save a ton of money, but if you do need to pay for childcare and babysitting, expect to spend about $50 for a full day. Different childcare center's charges vary, so that is just an estimate.

Finally, clothes. Babies often grow really really fast, so much that you'll be buying new clothes every month or so. Obviously how much you spend depends on your tastes (are you going to the thrift store or to the mall?).
