This is a tribute to all the moms (and dads) like myself who LOVE to change diapers! (That's a joke!!)
We use
Luvs. Always have...always will. We've tried the premium diapers...or others on sale,
but we always come back to these and will continue to use them until the last one is disposed of... x365 days in a year =3650 diapers a year x2.5 years in diapers (an average...again, some are earlier, some are later) =9125 diapers per child per year x3 children in our house =27,375 diapers we will use before the last is potty trained.
32 diapers in a package =855 packages of diapers x $12.00 approximate cost of 32ct. package =$10,260.00 amount spent on diapers from birth to 2 1/2 years old for three kids! YIKES!!! Thats JUST diapers (...wipes not included).
4.5 in. length of a diaper neatly rolled x 27,375 amount of diapers used =1,231,875 inches If all of those diapers were lined up end to end in a row they would span 19.44 miles!!!
1/2lb. approximate weight of a wet diaper x 27,375 amount of wet diapers discarded =13,687lbs. weight of wet diapers If all of those diapers were saved and piled up they would weigh 6.84 tons !! (and I'm just counting WET diapers...I didn't want to weigh any others!)
So the first of the tips for the weekend comes from
