Diapers,cloths,changing sheets,toys,bibs,playmats,bottles,sterilizers,accessories and what not! It completely depends how you wana spend on baby! Theres no end! But if you wana plan,then optimally there ate few one time investments and few will be recurring. <br>
Diapers- anywhere from 9-12 rs. Per diaper. You might need atleast 6 diapers per day as it is recommended to change every 3-4 hrs.<br>
Cloth diapers+ inserts - one would cost you around 1000 rs. And you will need extra inserts. Atleast 4 cloth pocket diapers would be required with extra inserts for a day and you can wash them and dry during night to use them again next day.<br>
Feed- breastfeeding then you might have to think over taking supplements yourself for lactation which costs around 300 - 800 per month <br>
Formula- 1000 bucks per month(500 for one box which has to be thrown after 15 days)<br>
Clothes- depends how many you wana purchase because initially baby spits a lot and you will have to change every now and then,so better buy dozen bibs,it saves a lot of efforts of changing clothes frequently plus less laundry. <br>
Medicines- as Becca said!<br>
Vaccination- if you plan to go for painless ones then upto 6 months thrice (3X9,500rs.)<br>
Toiletries- body wash,oil for massage etc,again depends,mine would cost around 1000 rs per month<br>
This is very subjective,things listed here are bare minimum,on top of it,we spend on a lot other stuff. Once the baby is here,you would know,what all u need! This is just approximation!<br>

Daipers are the most expensive .; .rest is almost like a one time investment intially; . . You could invest in cloth diapers (they are added work ) but they do save you from an additional expenses . . I never use anything other than a cloth diaper during the days . . (They are a one time investment) and two use and throw diapers in a day . . Roughly you can get a mamy poko pants diaper fir as little as 9.20 RS a diaper

And it all depends on which brand u choose to use... there are variety of products available and differnetly priced.. we all want best fir the baby but it has to be ib our capacity as well..<br>
I bought all the bottles from avent.. but may be if you take other company it wud cost less? So it all depends..!!
