Diaper need is the lack of a suffi cient amount of diapers to keep baby or toddler clean, dry, and healthy. 1 in 3 American families experi- ence diaper need. Disposable diapers can cost $70 to $80 per month per baby or more. Infants require up to 12 diapers per day, toddlers about 8. 5.2 million children in the U.S. ages three or younger live in poor or low-income families. No state or federal child safety-net program allocates dollars specifi - cally for the purchase of diapers. You can drop off donations at Carol's Closet, Dollar General, or Family Dollar.
