The cost of havin a baby - 1950 compared to 2019

My wife found an article that listed the cost of having a baby in 1950. This made me wonder how those costs compare with having a baby today.

The cost of having a baby was $123.00 in 1950. That would be $1,304.00 in 2019 dollars. That would be a great price, becuase $9,600 is the average cost of a birth is today.
