The Cost of Newborn Diapers

Newborn Diapers: The Cost

I’ve always thought that newborn diapers were more cost effective than the other sizes. (For those of you without children, every time you move up a size in diapers, you get fewer diapers in the package for the same price.) Of course, those savings mean nothing if you go through a lot of diapers, which is exactly what we were doing.

Yes, our little bundle of joy was a pooping and peeing machine, and we were going through newborn diapers like crazy. And it wasn’t just the newborn diapers, either – the resources this child consumed was amazing. Such a wee little thing, but the baby created more laundry by herself than the rest of the family combined.

I wasn’t naive, I knew having a baby was really expensive. But I had been thinking a little further down the road, things like braces and university. I mean, just how much could this little bundle of joy cost? A whole lot, as it turns out.

So now, I’ve turned into that guy. You know, the guy that clips coupons, but not only for newborn diapers, but for other things as well, anything that will help us save money. How did this happen? I now put all my coupons in an envelope so that I’m organized when I get to the store.

And I’m also making a list before I go to the grocery store; not only that, but I’m even using the flyers to make my list. The real reason I do this? Not to save money (although that is a plus) or help to get the money for all those newborn diapers. No, it’s more because of the fact that I’ve barely slept in three weeks and I’m liable to get to the store and forget what I went there for in the first place.

And then I’ll just come home with newborn diapers. Packages and packages of newborn diapers, because I know at least that we need those, even if I’ve forgotten everything else we need. Each week, I wait for the flyers to be delivered, and then I get started on my list. I go through the flyers, one by one, and make up my list of what I need to get by store so that I know I’m getting all the best deals.

Still, despite the lack of sleep and shock over actual amount having a baby costs, I’m trying to commit every last moment to memory. Because I know that my beautiful baby won’t fit into those newborn diapers for long, that soon I’ll look back and wonder how she ever fit into something so small. So I treasure each moment I have with her now, when my beautiful child is still small enough to fit into those impossibly small newborn diapers.
