The High Cost of Your Newborn Baby Diapers

You and the Cost of Newborn Diapers

I’ve always thought that newborn diapers were more cost effective than the other sizes. (If you don’t have kids, when you buy diapers, the larger the size, the fewer diapers you get per package, even though the cost is the same.) When I saw how many we were actually going through, I realized that we weren’t actually saving any money.

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. 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? As it turns out, way more than I thought.

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. Then I get all my little coupons in an envelope and head off to do the shopping; what’s happened to me?

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’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 what I’d probably end up with is just more 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. Each week, I wait for the flyers to be delivered, and then I get started on my list. Then I go through them, very methodically, and make a list of what I need to get from each store so that I get all the best deals.

Still, I’m trying to commit every last moment to memory, depsite the lack of sleep and extra strains on the pocketbook. 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.
