Getting to the Bottom of Clean Diapers

• Infants need up to 12 diapers per day; toddlers about 8 diapers per day.
• An adequate supply of disposable diapers can cost over $100 per month.
• 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 and may be linked to an increase rate of hepatitis.
• Low income parents cannot take advantage of free or subsidized childcare, if they cannot afford to leave disposable diapers at the childcare centers. An unfortunate consequence of an inadequate supply of diapers is work and school truancy among the caregivers.
• A baby crying from being in a soiled diaper for a prolonged period of time may be at a greater risk of physical abuse by the caregiver, as recognized in studies of patterns of abuse among low-income families of shaken baby syndrome.
