WHAT IS DIAPER NEED?

A hidden crisis affecting families.

Diaper need is a growing problem in our country. A clean diaper means a happy baby. 1 in 2 U.S. families cannot afford enough diapers to keep their infant or child clean, dry, and healthy.* These babies are more vulnerable to painful rashes and urinary tract infections and have more trips to the doctor. 3 in 5 parents miss work or school because they can’t afford the diapers required to leave their baby in Childcare. Clean diapers are a basic need of every baby and toddler.


* The NDBN Diaper Check 2023: Diaper Insecurity among U.S. Children and Families

Without clean diapers babies are exposed to potential health risks and toxic stress.

HEALTH RISKS

Without clean diapers parents are unable to access child care and early childhood education, which require a daily supply of diapers.

CHILDCARE

Without clean diapers mothers are at risk for increased maternal depression.

MENTAL HEALTH

Without clean diapers parents miss work or school.

LOSS OF WORK & SCHOOL

DIAPERS + CHILDCARE + WORK = INCOME
