How much does baby food cost?

Answer 1

The cost of baby food for one month varies widely on different factors including: the age of your baby and his food needs, whether you are formula or breastfeeding, and whether your baby has Allergies or a special diet.

If you are formula feeding a 6-month-old, and just starting him on solid foods, expect to spend about $100 on formula and about $1 per jar of baby food. If he eats one jar per meal for three meals a day, you would spend about $84 on pureed baby food.

You can save a significant amount of money by breastfeeding your baby and making your own pureed baby food.

Answer 2

Powders are least expensive. Powdered formula from the grocery store can cost about $50 a month, brand name powder can cost $100-$150 a month (for about 130oz of powder per month).

Obviously you know that babies are a extremely joyful part of life, and make you feel special, but it is also obviously known that these babies are not cheap! At 6 months old, most babies will have started eating solids, instead of liquids, as of breast milk or formula. At this age, at least you can start buying cheaper, less expensive food. Formula costs tons of money, and can leave you struggling. If you still need to feed your baby formula, maybe you can talk to their pediatrician and asking about certain foods you will be able to give them. You can start off slow if needed, by putting some rice cereal into their bottle, which keeps them feeling more full, and teaches them how to keep solid food into their tummy's. As for this question, its very difficult to answer, because every baby is different. They all eat different things, and eat more or less then the other. But if you are able to feed your baby soft foods, like rice cereal and baby food, then here we go. A can of baby food costs averagely around 25 to 50 cents per can, and 1.50 to 3.00 for rice cereal. Make sure your baby do sent have any allergies to any of the foods you are giving them, and make sure you feed them only one thing at a time so you know what they are or are not allergic to. Back to the question, lets say you buy 2 boxes of rice cereal for the month, and 15 cans of baby food. 2 times 3 dollar's= 6 dollars. 15 times 50 cents=7.5 dollars. So all together that's averaging around 14 dollars. But remember, this is just an estimate and cannot be completely true, considering i haven't met your baby!
