A great way to save on feeding your baby is to breast-feed. Breast-feeding isn't for every mom, but if you can do it, it can save you $2,000 or more a year on the cost of formula, Gordon says.

You'll have to subtract a breast pump if you decide to express milk, costing $50 or more per month to rent or $300 and up to buy. Still, you'll be saving money and trips to the grocery store.
