Diapers, Diapers, DiapersFood stamps don’t pay for diapers. It costs about $18/week to keep a baby/toddler in diapers. What are people supposed to do when they need to make a choice between diapers, food, rent, utilities, etc? Some people clean a diaper out and reuse it. Other parents leave their baby in dirty diapers for an extended time to stretch their diaper budget. This is very unsanitary and can cause diseases. Cloth diapers are not an option because many laundromat facilities do not allow dirty diapers to be washed in their facilities. Another problem with this solution is day care centers require disposable diapers.
