We probably spent $1500 including a pram with bassinet, cheap cot from target with mattress, bedding, etc, washable nappies starter kit, rocking chair, rocking footstool, high chair, baby carrier, etc. Chest of drawers we got free from a friend and change table with bath we got from another friend but barely used. I found a towel on the floor easier for nappy changes and all babies were just bathed in the big bath with my husband. For subsequent children we upgraded the pram to a double but didn't spend any extra other than that.
