Buddah’s Baby’s Inc.

Our Why:  Diapers are a basic need, no baby should have to go without.

1. COVID-19, sudden unemployment for low-income families and hoarding of diapers by those who can afford them resulted in dire diaper need across Long Island.

2. One in three U.S. families lack enough diapers to keep a baby clean, dry and healthy.

3. No federal or child-safety net program allocates dollars specifically for the purchase of diapers.

4. Diapers can cost $80 per month per baby.

5. Babies require 6-10 diaper changes a day, a concern for families who struggle with diaper need.

6. Diaper need causes families to resort to unsafe practices including reusing diapers and leaving them on for longer periods of time which makes babies susceptible to rashes and infection, leading to poor health outcomes.
