Mummy Pig is set to spend £178 in nappies each month on baby Evie

Mummy Pig is set to get through 5,238 baby wipes, 3,365 nappies and only sleep for an average of four hours a night during Evie’s first year. She will take 6,689 photos of the new little piggy in her first year – averaging just over 18 per day.

And make use of 1,642 breast pads – which is equal to just under five a day. The Pig family will receive 13 gifts from loved ones, and receive eight pieces of unwanted advice.

The numbers were taken from a poll of 1,000 parents who had a child in the last 10 years and applied to the much-loved family of farmyard animals.

A spokesperson for Asda, which commissioned the study to celebrate the birth of Peppa Pig’s new little sister, said: “We want to wish the whole Pig family well as they embark on their new venture as a family of five.

“It’s heartwarming to see how invested the nation is with this announcement, but I’m sure their family is the same as many others when it comes to concerns around the cost of living – particularly with three little ones in the house.”

The famous new pig is also likely to cost £178 in nappies each month, £205 in baby clothes and £56 in baby wipes. Baby formula could add up to £178 and medicine to total £46 every four weeks. They’ll also splash out £60 a month on toys and books for Evie’s development, according to the stats by OnePoll.

Mummy Pig’s birth has dominated the news cycle since her pregnancy was first announced back in February. Speculation raged from that point about what the new arrival’s name might be, and whether it would be a boy or a girl.

And the new baby was revealed as a girl named Evie this week, via a TV announcement on Good Morning Britain. The first picture of Evie was also shown on air at the same time, after she was ‘born’ at 5:34am at the Lindo Wing of London’s St Mary’s Hospital.

The spokesperson from Asda, which is currently selling a number of baby products on Rollback pricing, including nappies and babies wipes, said: “The cost of having a young family can really add up.

“Hopefully, the Pigs will have kept some of George – or even Peppa’s – baby stuff from when they were smaller, and they can use it again. No doubt Daddy Pig will be sent up to the loft to dig out old boxes of toys, cribs and baby bags, but we just hope he’s careful up on that ladder.”
