It costs the average American with insurance coverage around $2,854 to give birth.

Without insurance, the cost skyrockets to $18,865.

In fact, diapers are one of the biggest expenses for parents.

Luckily, for parents in Tennessee, help is on its way.

A short supply can lead to rashes and infections for the baby and depression for the parents.

Without enough diapers, daycare programs will refuse to accept children for the day.

Hopefully it will inspire more states to provide much needed resources to families in need.
