$Cost of Parenting

Expense guide

Cost of Diapers

Diapers are one of the first recurring costs new parents feel. The monthly number depends on diaper changes per day, brand, size, subscriptions, and how quickly your child potty trains.

Planning range

Many families should plan for roughly $55 to $110 per month for disposable diapers and wipes during the heaviest diapering months. Premium brands, overnight diapers, and delivery subscriptions can push that higher.

What to add later

A dedicated diaper calculator should compare cost per diaper, diapers per day, wipes, diaper cream, pail refills, and months until potty training.
