ü 1 in 3 U.S. moms reports suffering from diaper need.
ü Diaper need is lack of sufficient supply diaper to keep an infant or toddler dry & healthy.
ü A typical baby needs 8-12 diapers a day can be up to $120 a month.
ü Diapers are not covered by social welfare systems like WIC or food stamps.
ü 5.3 million children under 3 live in poor or low income homes.
ü Daycare centers require an adequate supply of diapers be supplied by parents or the child cannot stay with the center. Daycare Centers don’t allow cloth diapers.
ü Families are sometimes forced to use one diaper a day for their babies.
ü These babies can experience diaper rash, infections, and other health problems.
ü Babies who cry excessively are the most likely to be victims of shaken baby syndrome.
ü Mothers who are not able to provide an adequate supply of diapers feel guilt, anxiety, and an increased level of stress.
ü Diaper banks help meet diaper need by providing diaper to nearly one million infants and toddlers.
