Way too much, considering I'm a former cloth mama. The stupid CDs cost us way more than we've spent in sposies, I'd venture to guess. On a 14 month old, that's pretty huge.

I don't tally though. I'd get too depressed.

I don't want to think about it..

@highwire: Your day care provides diapers, wipes, and formula?!?! That is awesome. Our provides nada

LO is five months. We weren't gifted any diapers. That's a lie.. my friend gave me her cd stash but we pay $6 a load for shared laundry so I haven't used them.

We've purchased

Diaper pail = $40
5 jumbo boxes of pampers swaddlers @$35.87 each = $179.35
2 huge boxes of wipes @$19 each = $38
Diaper pail liners = $21
Butt paste = $13
Total = $291.35 / 5 months
$58.27/ month or $43.47 for the disposable portion

A lot for Cloth Diapers for LO but we are also using them with baby 2.

I was able to do some calculations since I buy disposable diapers on Amazon. We've been lucky in that we were gifted loads of diapers initially and then my mom bought us diapers and wipes for most of her first year. We just finished the big box of wipes she got us months ago from Costco.

So, how much money we have spent has been about $300, but I wouldn't know how much if you calculated how much we've been gifted diapers. We got lucky!

We don't have a special trash receptacle or wipe warmer.

We were gifted A LOT of diapering goodies, so we've spent less than $100 for rounding out our cloth stash, wetbags, and a diaper pail. Most of our diapers, all wipes (so far), detergent, and a diaper service for the first 5 weeks were gifted.

If it weren't for all the gifts, our total would be depressingly high for just a 7 week old baby!

For those of your that by the diaper genie refills, stop wasting your money! We use the blue refill ring, and just wrap a regular kitchen trash bag around it. You can get a box of 25 trash bags for less than $3, and they fit way more diapers than the $9 diaper genie refills!

We were gifted a lot of diapers before Sadie was born & my parents have bought us a couple boxes since she's grown. I think I've bought two boxes of diapers total, so probably around $40. If I would buy the store brand, it'd be cheaper, but I have to get the most expensive diapers out there (Swaddlers) because Sadie is a MASSIVE pee-er... it's ridiculous. And, so far I've bought two of the 500 count wipes from Walmart. They're only $8 and they last a while. The diaper genie and initial refills were gifted, but I bought a box of trash bags to refill for $2.50.

So, Sadie's 4 months & we've spent...
Diapers: $40
Wipes: $16
Trash bags: $2.50
...totaling $58.50. Not too bad.

LO is 4.5 months old, and I think we've spent about $275 of our own money. We cloth diaper during the day; use disposables at night and when he has a bad rash & needs Triple Paste.

Our stash is worth more, but we got a lot as gifts.

I may end up buying 6 more fitteds and maybe a couple more covers, so that will probably be around $100 more. We usually spend $10/month on disposables.
