Tough economy hitting hard on baby bottoms
Human feces is one of the best-known biofertilisers. Taking a cue form this, US is trying hard to harvest its clogged economy on the backsides of babies.
According to AdAge, US mothers spent 9 per cent less on disposable diapers than what they did a year earlier, thought there was no major slip in the birth rates.
Mothers in US are trying hard to give their economy a boost by changing their babies' diapers less frequently. The result is helping to move the economic indicators to green but turning the soft baby bottoms into more red.
Though the result foresaid is evident in the skyrocketing diaper rash cream sales, Proctor & Gamble, a major in the diapers business, binned the theory and said AdAge that they have not received any report on diapers being forced to put in extra hours of work to hit back on the face of recession.
However, the makers of Pampers said they have observed another trend in the US, which is hitting hard on the diaper sales: Parents giving potty training to children way too early in order to fill the budget deficit.
An American family is likely to spend about $1,500 annually on disposable diapers, reports Daily News.
