So my estament in cost a month for my son came out to $171 a month give or take. That's if I…

You won't need a new rash cream every month.

how long does a tube last? @alicia91

@teamjayce2015 I got one when mine was born and I still have more than half left and my baby is almost 8 months!

Their is many alternatives to save money....maybe you can try cloth diapers and only use store bought diapers when you leave the house? And you can make cheap baby wipes...I'll post for you! One min!

$80 seems like a lot for wipes? per month? I would think more like maybe $7 unless you're buying seriously fancy wipes. The others are probably pretty close. Though you'll probably use shampoo and rash cream longer than you think per bottle, so maybe less there too.

$80 for a month sapply @annlou

If you buy the big box of wipes that is like $12 and has 500+ in there,you should only need 1 a month. Mine last longer than that though. @teamjayce2015

Homemade baby shampoo!

that's putting them at $10-$14

for a box of four packs

@teamjayce2015 I get my wipes at sams club and a big box cost me $15 and they are Pampers wipes, the whole box lasts me like 2 months, but even a small pack from walmart which are like $2 lasts me a week😊

Homemade baby wipes!

start buying diapers and wipes now, use coupons and salets to tour advantage. rash cream, will last a few months. you only need it when the baby has a rash, if the baby even gets a rash. you're gunna want extra because walking around the store and you see something super cute and on sale and you just wont want to pass up the offer. i bought my daughter's first birthday present already and she is only 10 days!! lol i got it for under $10 instead of $45, so i had to buy it! and my daughter is in preemie everything, they even fit her big. so i had to buy preemie diapers and some preemie clothes, which qis hard to find and never on sale -_- lol. so just keep extra just in case. and be prepared incase breastfeeding doesnt work and baby has trouble latching. i had to get a pump and bottle for her bc she has trouble latching

Another way to make homemade baby wipes! I prefer his recipie!

extra money*

I think you can get like 10 packages at Costco for about $25 and you'll use maybe two in a month. I'm trying to think back to my newborn usage... And ditto on not using up creams unless your kid has constant rashes. some do, some never do. @teamjayce2015

a bottles of shampoo has last my baby 6 months.... and still has some maybe for another month. I haven't even used half a bottle of rash cream.

bottle *

You definitely won't spend 80 a month on wipes. And shampoo, I've used the same bottle for 2 months now and still have a lot in it. Same with rash cream, you won't be buying that every month either.

tip:coconut oil can be used for literally everything...all the way to cradle cap!!!!! And daily moisturizer!!!!! I use it daily!!! I mouth wash with it and use it as a daily moisturizer. Your skin absorbs it so well so it does not leave a oily residue!!!

sometimes they put diapers on clearance at Walmart !

what does the coconut oil look like and how much for it? @uhmandaxconrad92

It's in the cooking oil section in the grocery store make sure it says Organic & refined! This is the cheapest and the best!!!

Do not get this kind!!! Its not refined and it won't work.

LouAna is for cooking not beauty recipes...

and what all can I use it for? @uhmandaxconrad92

Honestly I can't name everything! Straight out the jar...You can use it as a hair mask, body lotion, chap stick, lube for sexual intercourse...it's actually very good for you and him both when used as lube. Lol and if you put a little sugar in some you can use it as sugar scrub to exfoliate your skin while in the bath. Um....it heals acne...so put a little bit on your face daily. It is antibacterial and kills bacteria. That's always good too! 😍 I can keep going!!!!!!

How are wipes more than diapers? 😐

Organic extra virgin unrefined cold pressed is actually best for your hair, skin, and teeth. Expeller pressed refined coconut oil is better for cooking because of the lack of smell and flavor. And you should get it somewhere like a vitamin shoppe, health food store, trader joes, etc. not like Walmart or a regular grocery store.. It's not of high quality.
