March of Dimes and Huggies - what do they have in common?




Get Involved with Every Little Bottom

A recent study, commissioned by Huggies and led by Dr. Cybele Raver of NYU, showed 1 in 3 moms in our country struggles to provide diapers for her baby. These moms often have to cut back on basic things like food and utilities. Can you help?

EveryLittleBottom.com offers several ideas — here are some:

• Spread the word. In your community center, at your children's school, your place of worship, on Facebook or Twitter, let people know about the urgent need many moms face.
• Donate to a local diaper drive. Use the ZIP code finder on EveryLittleBottom.com, to locate organizations in your area that accept diapers. Many have wish lists (through Amazon) that make it easier to know what products will be most helpful.
• Attend community events. There are more than 1,500 local events, like diaper drives. Find one in your area at EveryLittleBottom.com.






What is Diaper Need? Diaper need is the struggle to provide babies with an essential need - diapers. Some mothers face having to clean out and reuse soiled diapers or have to choose between diapers and other basic needs like food. HUGGIES® recently conducted a study that found 1 in 3 American moms have had to face this choice.

Babies suffer without clean, dry diapers

Diaper need means babies are kept in wet, dirty diapers for extended period. They sometimes must wear diapers that have been cleaned out and put back on*. As a result, they are more likely to experience signs of irritation and discomfort, cry more, and suffer from worse diaper rash.

Imagine everything it takes to be a mom. Now imagine it without diapers.

Moms struggling against diaper need are more likely to miss work or school, stay home when they need to go out, or keep their babies out of daycare — which usually requires a full day's supply of disposable diapers*. Without enough diapers for routine changes, moms feel distressed* and find parenting even more difficult.

We can all make a difference

Together, we can help more babies have enough diapers. HUGGIES® created Every Little Bottom to help fight diaper need but we need your help.
