A community member is asking -
Does the lack of access to diapers to keep babies clean, dry, and healthy an adverse childhood experience? Babies that do not have regular diaper changes are not having their their basic needs met, and often suffer a painful excoriated bottom, and more for the first three years of their lives - sometimes longer. While the baby may not be able to tell you, their brain and body will remember. See THIS ARTICLE and BIPARTISAN RESOLUTION SUPPORTING DIAPER BANKS for more information. Question - Is the lack of access to diapers an ACE? Thoughts?
“Many families simply do not earn enough to purchase the diapers their child needs to stay clean, dry and healthy. In fact, diapers alone can consume up to 14 percent of a low-income parent’s post-tax earnings. source
