"Diapers can cost a family more than $100/week"

DandR

Really???  I mean maybe it cost J&K that...but even if you changed the babies diaper 24 times a day, would it cost you $100 to diaper your baby?

They are doing a diaper drive here for the woman's shelter, which is a GREAT cause and I'll help out...but when I read that quote, I was a bit put off.  Even during the short times I had 2 in diapers, it didn't cost me $100/week.  I'm trying to think with wipes and cream if it was even that close.

Do you think they meant $100/month???

That's got to be a typo.

This.  And that's more a figure for formula/month than diapers.

That has to be a typo.  Even 24 diapers a day at .30 per diaper is only $50 and who changes a diaper 24 times a day?!

Rebekah1021

I think so. That can't be right.

$100/month for sure and that's for 2 kids.  A package of Walmart diapers cost me $13 each and I went thru 3/4 -1 pack a week.

That seems excessive.

If you buy them in the 8 pack at the mini mart.  In some places here, there are no close by stores with good prices, so you have to spend $5 a day to get a little pack or you have to figure out how to get on a bus with a big pack from target, a baby, a stroller, ect.  Still $100 a week is out of scope.

I spend about $30 a month on each kid.  I just donated a bunch of stuff to a lady who is 19 and has 3 kids under 4 and one on the way.  I could see where it could be a big expense for them.

Yesterday on a baby story a mom claimed to change her newborn 25 times a day and her 1+ yr old 12-15 times a day. I think that's crazy neurotic. Even when ds had runny poops from his milk sensitivity we were only using about 15 a day and I swear I was changing him all the time. 100$/a week is either a typo or for neurotic parents like the one I saw yesterday.

DS was a champion pooper as a baby, and his record usage was 17 in one day.

As pp have said, gotta be in a month.

They have to mean a month!
