As a single mother attending school and working, one of my biggest stresses was the extraordinary cost of diapers. Some people overlook the fact that children's health and wellness can be directly affected by how often they can be changed. Parents who are struggling may find themselves rationing diapers. This can lead to skin and other serious issues that are painful and lead to costly medical care. Many childcare centers will not take children without adequate diaper supply. This can lead to loss of access to childcare needed to go to work and other training opportunities to better the life of the family.
