Baby! Expensive!!
Raising a baby is an extremely expensive thing in itself. Don’t underestimate their small size, they are actually real money-eating beasts.
I thought I could save some money when I grew up, but this is actually the beginning of spending money.
Many parents feel that after traveling through time, their children will not be so focused on their studies, and they will not have to spend so much money on extracurricular interest classes. At least they can save a lot of money in this regard.
But Jin Yukou obviously didn't have the time to think about these things yet. She was worried. Shopping was fun, but it would cost a lot of money. "Do other parents have to buy so many things too?"
Speaking of this, Xu's mother was happy: "I think you are very lucky, because you only need to spend the money once. They have already spent this amount of money before. Now that the children are younger, many things need to be bought again, and the money has to be spent again."
“Hahahahaha!” Jin Yukou held her stomach and laughed, but she didn’t dare laugh out loud for fear of the pain! But suddenly, she didn’t find it difficult to spend money anymore.
Hahahahaha!! Raising the same baby twice is despairing in itself, but now I have to spend money twice and buy bottles twice… just thinking about it makes me feel despair! She suddenly felt much more relieved: "Here!! Buy it!"
Just at this time, several other pregnant women heard that Jin Yukou was going to buy something, so they simply came together. Anyway, everyone would need it, and they didn’t know if they could save some money by buying it together, so they decided to report it first.
"Bottles are the basics. The set at 1388 seems expensive, but it includes the cups we'll need later, so I think it's a good deal." Mother Xu, who has been a nursery 'manager' for a while now, is a complete expert on these modern gadgets and speaks fluently. "But buying them individually isn't cheap either. Whether it's Chubby Baby or some other brands, they're actually quite expensive. After all, they're for children, so they're naturally expensive. Money spent on babies is always the easiest to earn, and quality is more guaranteed with big brands."
"If you don't want to buy a bottle set, I suggest you buy a 150ml plus 250ml bottle. This is good enough for a newborn."
"So how much does a combination like this usually cost?"
"They range from 200 to 700. The brands are different, and you can choose between two brands. Some children are very picky about these things. Not only are they picky about milk powder, they are also picky about milk bottles, which makes it really hard to feed them."
Jin Yukou was on the verge of tears when she spoke about this, complaining to several expectant mothers: "I don't have much milk right now, so I gave my baby formula, but this little guy refused to drink it. I had to use my scarce cash-turned-shopping credit to buy several bottles of liquid milk! Oh my god!! Are you torturing me? He drinks whatever's expensive! He's so happy drinking liquid milk."
One young woman, Mao Fangfang, didn't quite understand the situation. She only realized she was pregnant after traveling through time and realizing her age hadn't changed, so she hadn't prepared anything. She was deeply worried because she didn't understand anything, so she wanted to ask more questions about everything. It could be said that after the college entrance exam, she hadn't been so serious anymore. "What's the difference between liquid milk and formula? Is the price difference that big?"
Can her little wallet hold up? Woohoo... They broke up before she traveled through time and space, and now she is raising a child alone. She is young and does not have enough savings. What should she do?
Unfortunately, her period wasn't always regular, so it took her several months to find out she was pregnant. This meant her period was now overdue, so there was no way she could have an abortion. She could only leave it like this for now...
It seems that this money cannot be saved at the moment.
"Liquid milk is really expensive," said Xu. "Before Pangpang's family came, he was drinking liquid milk. He just didn't like formula, and his stools were a bit dry, so we switched back to liquid milk. I looked at it and found that he needs about one to one and a half bottles a day at this stage. Babies at this stage usually drink 250-300ml a day, which is about the right amount. Liquid milk is usually less than 250ml in a bottle. There are also very small ones, less than 50ml, which are more suitable for newborns and save storage trouble."
"As for the price, you usually buy it by the case, and a case of 24 bottles usually costs between 600 and 1,200 yuan. Of course, packaged bottles are cheaper. If it comes with a pacifier, it's definitely the most convenient for children. It saves the brewing process, and the pacifier also eliminates the trouble of sterilization."
"That's great!" While everyone was praising it, they quickly started calculating: "So the average price of a bottle is around 30 to 70 yuan?! Wow! The older the child gets, the more exaggerated their consumption becomes. It's actually more acceptable for newborns because they drink less."
"Oh my! This liquid milk is really convenient. It's like a super artifact for lazy people."
"Yeah, it's not bad. I sent WeChat messages to my parents, asking for financial support! My husband also sent a lot, haha. There's nothing I can do, I'm broke!!"
Another pregnant woman chimed in, "I've taken a class before, and not only is the price much different, there's another problem. Even if the baby doesn't drink liquid milk, they're very picky about the various brands of formula. They either won't drink it, or they get diarrhea or constipation after eating it. It's really hard to find a formula that the body accepts and the baby loves. Of course, some babies are angels, and their mothers' milk is also strong. In these cases, breastfeeding can really save a lot of money."
