Embarazo En Adolescente

There is a topic in adolescence that doesn’t goes through our minds, and it is about the baby support in the first year baby’s life. When somebody says “baby” we imagine a little human adorable, but, do you know how much money is spent for taking care of a baby? Bringing a child into the world is a serious matter, involves responsibilities on the part of parents; it requires a lot of physiological, emotional and economic maturity. The birth of a child is a blessing for most people, sometimes they are so happy with a son or daughter, but the problem is when the baby arrives unexpectedly and during adolescence, when teens have not reached even physiology, much less emotional and economic maturity. And these children come into the world when they are unplanned and unwanted; result of premature sexual relations, without information or responsibility on the part of adolescents. The arrival of a baby changes everything from the routines to the lifestyle of the parents.

According to PROFECO, 30% of money in a family goes for the baby. The main costs of a baby are:

A baby's diet is very specific, especially in milk consumption, and parents only have two choices: breastfeeding or formula, which costs 15,000 pesos per year, so it is advisable that the baby drink maternal milk the first 6 months of life. For example, the brand “NAN 1” costs $59 pesos, and “Enfamil 1” costs $79.50 so the annual cost is between $ 2050.56 and $ 2674.80, considering an average of 36 cans of 400 grams per year.

Annual spending on diapers and wipes is between $ 6.610 and $ 10.879, considering that a baby requires six diapers a day, in a year will need 2,190 based on the prices of diapers and wipes the “Who's Who” in the prices from PROFECO. For example, Huggies Ultra Comfort costs $135 the package, and Pampers. Total Dry costs $145 the package, so there are a lot of brands, and we need to compare them.

In a year, the cost of a baby support is approximately 70,000 to 100,000 pesos. So we need to think before having a baby, to give him a dignified life…

Will you think twice before having a baby? I hope it….
