The High Cost of Your Baby’s Diapers

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.) Of course, those savings mean nothing if you go through a lot of diapers, which is exactly what we were doing.

Our perfect little child was a pooping and peeing machine, and we were going through diapers like nobody’s business. Actually, it wasn’t just the newborn diapers – we were going through everything. This baby was 1/15 my size, and creating twice as much laundry.

Of course, I knew before we even decided to have the baby that it would be expensive. But I had been thinking a little further down the road, things like braces and university. I didn’t think that a little baby would consume or cost that much. A whole lot, as it turns out.

And now, I’ve become 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 actually going through the grocery store flyers and making a list before I go, something I never did before I had a baby. 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 because I’ll come home without anything if I go without a list; I’ve barely slept in three weeks and my brain isn’t functioning properly.

The only thing I can remember that we need is the 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. So I make my list, and I’ve even gone so far as to actually wait for the flyers to be delivered every week. In order to make sure that I’m getting all the best deals, I go thorugh all the flyers and make a list of what I need to get from each store

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 in a few short years (or heck, even a few months from now) I’ll come across one of those newborn diapers and be amazed that my child was ever small enough to fit into them. I will hang on to each moment I have with my baby now, while my little child is small enough to still fit into those teeny-tiny newborn diapers.
