its not as exp-ensive as people make out at all. even for the twins its pretty cheap. we buy in bulk so its hard to give a weekly estimate so ill try monthly, it really isnt that much;
pampers nappies: £40
pampers wipes: £12 (for a box of 12 that will last over a month)
sma formula: £14
sudocrem: £6
food: they eat what we eat so really couldnt say
thats without clothes etc and the cost of formula has only just gone up as i bf until over 9mos. all of those figures are just rough estimates it also depends what offers atre on. those figures are all for brand names as well so could probably knock off quite a bit if we used cheaper wipes and nappies. even clothes arent that expensive as atm we still pretty much keep them in vests and babygrows all the time so get a few packs of new ones when they grow out of them every few months. we get a lot of clothes given to us by my sister for our 3 year old as she has a 4 and 6 year old so that helps a bit.
