What goes into first-year baby costs in Canada?

The big buckets are one-time gear (stroller, car seat, crib, monitor), monthly consumables (diapers, wipes, formula if used), clothing, and childcare if you return to work. Childcare is by far the largest variable — the national $10-a-day program is lowering it in many provinces. The Canada Child Benefit can meaningfully offset these costs.
