More new data

Newly released data from The National Diaper Bank Network shows a significant increase of diaper need among U.S. families.

One in two U.S. families with young children struggle with diaper need, according to their new study The NDBN Diaper Check 2023: Diaper Insecurity Among U.S. Children and Families ... the first national study released since 2017.

These findings change our understanding of this growing public health crisis. Now is the time to support community-based diaper banks and advocate for legislative action to and ensure all babies and their families have the clean diapers they need to thrive.
