I think you have to consider the following;
1) are you planning to get a maid or nanny?
2) Milk powder?
3) diapers ?
4) doctor check up cost?
5) Injection for baby - note if you go polyclinic it is either free or a nominal fee. Pte will be expensive up to $100.
6) celebration of birth of baby...
i have recently make my sums, that would seems like an average of about $1,200 per month. hmmmm.... quite a hefty sum. would probably need to hold back family planning. our increment is not even that much. how to have baby like that.
Talking about increment - I think you should be happy there is no pay cut.
$1200 seems pretty decent - If you are one that does not let your baby use so much pampers than that may cut some cost.
Use the washable cloth type lor. Definitely cheaper than diapers
my colleague shared with me that at home, his child uses the cloth type and only use diapers when they are out. this help to save abit.
