Anywhere from $390 to $550 a month. Here is a good article on the subject: http://www.futureofchildren.org/usr_doc/vol6no2ART4.pdf

I wouldn't take less than $155 a week if they provide the formula/diapers. Otherwise I charge an extra $2 a day if they want me to supply them. Infants are very demanding and until they can hold the bottle themselves and sit up and play, they will take up a lot of time in a day. If you plan to have toddlers/preschoolers too, I would only take 1 infant in order to give them enough attention.

The going rate for infant care (in home based daycare) is $50.00+ a day. Of course it depends on the area you live in. So basically it's $300 a week and that's cheap compared to the large daycare centers who charge more!

I charge $300 for a 50 hour week for children 2 months - 4 years old. This is cheap being most places are charging $9 and hour. I guess it depends wher you live. Ny is expensive.

Sometimes your local/state supplemental agency has a rate sheet. I'd try asking them first. Or call around to other local providers and ask.

In our area its anywhere from $28 - $35 per day to some places charging hourly $6 making it upwards of $45 per day.

Our local supplement pays $35 per day

Hi, i charge my parents by the hour.I have a minimum charge of 7 hours per day, its up to them if they want to use those 7 hours.(most use more per day)
I charge $5.50 per hour per child, so im am assured of a decent daily wage by the time i have 4 kids in all day.

Around Plano, Tx rates run from $150 - 180 per week.
Some centers are charging as much as $250 per week.
I have seen rates as low as $80 per week in certain areas around Dallas where the economy is depressed.

I live in California and I charge $200.00/wk. When they turn one1 I go down to $175.00/wk. Infants are the most delicate and who you will spend the most time with. Especially if they are under 5 months. Between birth and age one is the motor skill age of rolling, crawling and walking. If they do not get this attention they fall behind on the mildstones.

The State will ONLY pay a licensed daycare $90 per week for a toddler or $95 per week for an infant in this part of Nebraska, and they do not allow you to charge the families to cover what your normal rates are if they happen to be higher. My rates are $100 per week full time, or $25 per day part time, or $3.50 per hour drop in, with a minimum 4 hours per drop-in and then only if I have space available. In Ohio, I was paying $189 per week for an infant, and as she got older and qualified for their lower rates, they just raised their rates so we never got to where we were able to pay less. I provided, and I require my daycare families to provide, their own supplies. I also charge $10 per day for late fees, and daycare fees must be paid in advance. I've been ripped off too many times.

I am in Co. It makes a slight diff depending on how many hours, and how early the infant will be in care.
But usually $35 per day.
I do have one family who needs care starting at 6:30 am , (an hour before I open), so for them it comes out to $38.75 a day.

Infants are a lot more work then older kids.

I live in Tennessee and charge 75 a week for all ages. I have 2 9 week olds and a 21 month old and that's all I can take because I'm not licensed.
