Buy the book called Baby Bargains. It's like a super-detailed Consumer Reports for baby stuff, it's updated every 2 years. It has really broken down all of the baby gear and costs for me and my husband.
But seriously, this is not the place to be getting advice on this sort of stuff. Get some help in real life, and start getting that paternity test lined up!

As others have said, start looking at daycare options NOW.
My nephew is 2. His mother has been on a waiting list for her top choice daycare for him since she was 8 months pregnant and there are no openings yet.

This is worse than spoonfeeding a clueless GLO aspirant.
How on Earth do other people figure this stuff out without GC? The wonders of the world never cease to amaze me.

I hear there about 8 grand on the black market. Unless you want an Asian one. Asian newborns cost more. Mostly because there are fewer of them, what with China's law about that and all.

Always look at the "Unit Price" - the price per item/ounce/etc. Because of differences in product sizes, amounts, etc., you're not always comparing apples to apples.

you guys keep telling the OP "don't come on GC, go ask people IRL" etc yet you are still giving him advice. why bother if he can get what hes looking for here? if the assumption is that those around him will give him better/more relevant advice, then that means you discount what you post here to him.

I pass the time with fun-ish threads. I don't remember giving advice to grown ass men who don't know that the absence of a condom can lead to pregnancy lol

Not everyone who has said "talk to people in real life" has then turned around and given him advice. Some of us have avoided giving advice for just that reason.
ETA: I tend to think that for something as important as a new child, he should be looking in places other than a message board.

tld221 is talking about those who did that and not those of us who did not.
Xanthus seems to be the bad combination of lazy and an oversharer.

Sorry, but the use of this term made me laugh. It sounded like a pun in light of the previous posts...
