CCI Diaper Program

In Partnership with Idaho Diaper Bank

With 32,000 families in Idaho struggling to provide basic necessities like food and shelter, diapers are often overlooked. And yet they too are a necessity, an expensive one that cannot be purchased with food stamps or WIC funds. 

The consequences of diaper need include health concerns for the children, delayed development, and maternal depression. To alleviate this issue the Idaho Diaper Bank organizes diaper drives, purchases diapers in bulk, and provides them to the community through nonprofit distribution partners, like CCI.

One in three babies doesn't have enough clean diapers.

What Size Do I Need?

Potty Chair Training

Here are some considerations if you're not sure when to begin potty training your child.

Signs of Readiness

• Baby starts to go regularly on a time schedule
• Baby stops activity when going
• Baby's face changes when going
• Baby is walking but does not need to be talking

Techniques to Encourage

• Talk to child about the potty when changing their diaper
• Use potty language: Words to describe the actions
• Show them you are putting poo from diaper into the toilet and flushing it away to help them learn and understand the process

Potty Chair Training

• Place the potty chair in their playroom or favorite place
• Encourage them to get to know their chair before using it for potty
• Begin potty use after meals, naps, sleep
• Use rewards for potty use, bigger ones for when they initiate the use
• Use night-time pull-ups or bed pads until night-time, nap training is completed
