The High Cost of Your Newborn’s Diapers

Newborn Diapers: The Cost

Maybe I was naive, but I thought that since you get so much more per package, that newborn diapers were more cost effective. (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.) Then I saw how may newborn diapers we were actually going through and realized that the cost savings were negligible.

Yes, our little bundle of joy was a pooping and peeing machine, and we were going through newborn diapers like crazy. And we weren’t just going through the newborn diapers, either – 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 the things I was thinking of were a little further away, like needing to get braces or going to university. I mean, just how much could this little bundle of joy 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 anything else that might help offset these added costs of having a new baby. What happened to me? Now I get all my coupon organized and in an envelope, and go do the shopping.

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. While it does save us money, the real reason I do this is not to offset the cost of buying 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.

The only thing I can remember that we need is the 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 make my list, and I’ve even gone so far as to actually wait for the flyers to be delivered every 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, I’m trying to commit every last moment to memory, depsite the lack of sleep and extra strains on the pocketbook. Because someday very soon (and probably sooner than I think) I’ll come across one of those newborn diapers and be amazed that my child was ever small enough to fit into them. So I want to treasure these moments now, when my little child is small enough to still fit into those teeny-tiny newborn diapers.
