• An adequate supply of disposable diapers can cost over $100.00 per month.
• Diapers are not available through any public assistance type program.
• In low-income households, babies often spend the entire day or longer in a single diaper, because the family cannot afford to buy an adequate supply of diapers.
• Inadequate diaper changing increases the risk of numerous health problems including diaper rash.
• A baby crying from being in a soiled diaper for a prolonged period of time may be at a greater of physical abuse by the caregiver.
• Childcare centers require parents to provide disposable diapers for their child.
