Baby Expenses

							                       Weekly Expense Planning for Baby  
           The expenses you will most likely incur in caring for your baby appear below in
six categories. These include Food, Medical, Child Care, Hygiene, Clothing and Toys. Each
of these sections is further broken down to help you keep track of spending that can occur
each week. After you write in how much you spend a week on each item, multiply it
by 52 weeks to figure out your annual spending. By considering the costs
associated with your precious new arrival, you will be able to adjust your
household budget accordingly.
