Nicholas Kioko Spent 58K Monthly on Baby Formula

In a recent interview with Mungai Eve, Nicholas Kioko and Wambo Ashley revealed that the arrival of their twin boys completely reshaped their perspective on life.

Kioko shared that they were spending about KSh 58,000 every month on formula for their twins.

Ashley disclosed that she only breastfed for the first three months and eventually felt overwhelmed, prompting them to switch to formula feeding.

“The kids have really kept us on our toes. You know raising twins isn’t the same as raising just one child. With twins, you really have to be financially prepared. I breastfed for the first three months, but it became overwhelming. It’s not that I didn’t have milk, but I just didn’t have enough. I could breastfeed, but by the third month, I was exhausted. It was just tiring, and since there were two babies, we decided to switch to formula,” Wambo Ashley explained.

Kioko then broke down the cost of the expensive formula they were using.

“At that time, we were buying a tin that cost KSh 1,960, which would last only 18 hours. That comes to around KSh 58,000 per month. It’s very expensive, so don't have kids if you’re not ready,” Kioko emphasized.

Regarding how they ended up living together as a couple, Kioko revealed that it wasn’t planned, but rather the pregnancy brought them together.

“The pregnancy is what made us start living together. She had completely refused to move in with me. I even had to move to a different house, but she still refused,” Kioko disclosed.

“After I moved, we had a disagreement. I tried to persuade her, but she didn’t want to, so I decided to stay quiet. The next day, she texted me saying she was coming to pick up her clothes in the evening. She came for her clothes and never returned. That’s how it ended, and she later found out she was pregnant,” Kioko added.
