Brilio.net - For a mother, taking care of children is not just a matter of giving them breast milk, feeding them and looking after them throughout the day. As a mother, you are also required to fulfill your child's needs in terms of clothing, shelter and other needs. For those who are married, children's needs are certainly one of the monthly expenses which is not small.
But for those who are not married, of course you can't imagine how much money you need to spend to meet your little one's needs. Even though they seem like they are still toddlers, who would have thought that a baby's needs, which include diapers, formula milk, wipes and other necessities, could use up a budget that is no less large than an adult's.
This was expressed by one of the young mothers who is active on TikTok via the account @soniaa_ap. Through one of her uploads, the account owner who is familiarly called Sonia shared her monthly budget for shopping for the needs of her toddler.
Reported by brilio.net via the TikTok account @soniaa_ap, Sunday (9/6), he made a carousel upload containing pictures and details of the price he had to pay for his toddler's needs. He made this upload as proof that the needs of a toddler can exceed IDR 1 million.
" The most (needs) of her child is 1 million a month, " wrote Sonia in one of her uploaded photos.

In the next photo, Sonia uploaded a photo showing the stock of snacks for her child. Who would have thought, to fulfill his snack needs, he would spend IDR 800 thousand. This budget apparently does not include food for the baby.
Not only that, Sonia also revealed that the cost of buying diapers reaches IDR 1 million for one month. This amount is the total of one purchase. Through her upload, Sonia admitted that she immediately bought 7 large diapers with a unit price of IDR 135 thousand on e-commerce.

That's just snacks and diapers, not including milk to support children's growth and development. Sonia uses formula milk from the Bebelac brand which she buys at a unit price of around IDR 528 thousand for a weight of 3 kg . In a month, Sonia usually buys 4-5 packs of milk. If multiplied, Sonia spends a budget of up to IDR 2 million on milk in a month.
If you look at the price details displayed by Sonia, you could say that the budget for her child's needs is not enough if she only relies on IDR 1 million. In his caption, he admitted that his child's total expenses could reach more than IDR 5 million a month.
" This child's expenses are more than 5 million a month, the child is already that much, let alone the mother, not even a day or two hahaha (laughing emoji) just trying to figure out how old the salary can be (crying emoji). We keep racking our brains every month whwhhaa ," he wrote.
Many were surprised and questioned about his expenses, so much so that his upload was viewed 995.7 thousand times and received thousands of comments from netizens. Even though there are quite a few who give suggestions and don't relate to the upload, according to Sonia, it depends on individual needs, seen from the replies to each comment.
" Sis, can you manage that? Yes, I can't. 9 million, the minimum is for a child to use an S26 Gold, 1 month, 12 cans, nothing else ," said the account @aryodiaa.
" That's a lot of milk, my son also uses bebelac, now he's 15 months old, only 2-3 bottles because he likes it, thank God he likes it. so there's less milk, " said the account @chipmunk661.
" I think rich people are really stupid ," wrote the account @bertia09.
" HAH YES THAT'S SO MUCH??? That means my child is very economical, milk directly from the center, 1 ball a month ," commented the account @g2collection.
" It's better to make snacks for children yourself, " responded the account @finafaulina.
