The Cost of Your Newborn’s Diapers

You and the Cost of Newborn Diapers

I’ve always thought that newborn diapers were more cost effective than the other sizes. (For those of you who haven’t had a baby, the way diaper packages work is that the larger the size of the diaper, the less you get per package, even though it’s the same price.) Then I saw how may newborn diapers we were actually going through and realized that the cost savings were negligible.

Our perfect little child was a pooping and peeing machine, and we were going through diapers like nobody’s business. 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. The costs I associated with having a baby were a little different, and further away, things like braces and university. Just how much could a little baby consume and cost? As it turns out, way more than I thought.

So now, I’ve turned into that guy. I’m the guy that clips coupons, not only for newborn diapers, but for other things as well, to help offset the added cost of our little bundle of joy. 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. While I’m sure this also helps us save money, trying to offset the cost of the newborn diapers is not the motivation here. No, it’s because I’ve been running on less than three hours of sleep for going on three weeks now, and I’ll probably forget everything I came for if I go without a list.

And then I’ll just come home with newborn diapers. I know at least that we need those, even if I’ve forgotten everything else, so I’ll just buy package after package of newborn diapers. So I’ve started making my list, and I wait anxiously for the flyers to be delivered each week. 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 all the unexpected expenses and lack of sleep, I’m savoring it all, 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.
