The Diaper Need Struggle is REAL

The Diaper Need Struggle is REAL

Sharing is caring!

This post is brought to you in a partnership with Huggies, Walgreens, The National Diaper Bank, and No Baby Unhugged partnership to bring awareness to the diaper need families face. #NoBabiesUnhugged

See below for a Huggies Diaper Deal at Walgreens!

When I had our oldest daughter our family showered us with gifts for her and at our baby shower they threw a diaper raffle. If you aren’t familiar with a diaper raffle it’s when guests bring a package or box of diapers and for each one they bring they get a raffle ticket to win a prize. It was a small baby shower, but we were set with diapers for the first 6 months and it was great being able to walk into the garage and grab a new pack vs. having to go to the store and buy them. When we had our other 2 babies we weren’t showered with gifts (and that’s ok), so I started planning ahead of time and stocked up on diapers while I was pregnant. I built up a good supply and it helped in the weeks after our babies were born that I didn’t have to worry about running to the store to buy more. I know not every is that fortunate though.

1 in 3, that’s how many families struggle with diaper need. I’ve been there and know just how stressful that struggle can be. Being a single teen mom wasn’t easy, but thanks to amazing family members my son got all of the basics he needed. I know many don’t have that support system and that’s why organizations like the National Diaper Bank and donations from brands like Huggies® and Walgreens are so essential. 

How Huggies® is helping

Huggies® believes in the power of hugs. That’s why every diaper they make is inspired by yours. 1 in 3 families are affected by diaper need, and Huggies has a vision to ensure that all babies get the hugs they need. Through the No Baby Unhugged program, diaper donations help to provide hugs in the form of clean diapers to babies in need. Since the program’s beginning, Huggies has donated over 200 million diapers and wipes, and countless lives have been touched.

I have never heard of a diaper raffle before but I like the idea. I love how Huggies always cares about parents!

I think it's easy to forget how expensive diapers are in this day and age, but not having enough can pose real problems for families that can't afford the large amount that babies need.
