Mummy Pig is set to spend £178 in nappies each month on baby Evie
Mummy Pig is set to get through 5,238 baby wipes, 3,365 nappies and only sleep for an average of four hours a night during Evie's first year. She will take 6,689 photos of the new little piggy in her first year – averaging just over 18 per day. 1 And make use of 1,642 breast pads – which is equal to just under five a day. And the Pig family will receive 13 gifts from loved ones, and receive eight pieces of unwanted advice. The numbers were taken from a poll of 1,000 parents who had a child in the last 10 years and applied to the much-loved family of farmyard animals. A spokesperson for Asda, which commissioned the study to celebrate the birth of Peppa Pig 's new little sister, said: "We want to wish the whole Pig family well as they embark on their new venture as a family of five. 'It's heartwarming to see how invested the nation is with this announcement, but I'm sure their family is the same as many others when it comes to concerns around the cost of living - particularly with three little ones in the house.' The famous new pig is also likely to cost £178 in nappies each month, £205 in baby clothes and £56 in baby wipes. Baby formula could add up to £178 and medicine to total £46 every four weeks. They'll also splash out £60 a month on toys and books for Evie's development, according to the stats by OnePoll. Mummy Pig's birth has dominated the news cycle since her pregnancy was first announced back in February. Speculation raged from that point about what the new arrival's name might be, and whether it would be a boy or a girl. From TV to energy... tips to save you money on 7 bills that are going up in April And the new baby was revealed as a girl named Evie this week, via a TV announcement on Good Morning Britain. The first picture of Evie was also shown on air at the same time, after she was 'born' at 5:34am at the Lindo Wing of London 's St Mary's Hospital. The spokesperson from Asda, which is currently selling a number of baby products on Rollback pricing, including nappies and babies wipes, said: 'The cost of having a young family can really add up. 'Hopefully, the Pigs will have kept some of George – or even Peppa's – baby stuff from when they were smaller, and they can use it again. 'No doubt Daddy Pig will be sent up to the loft to dig out old boxes of toys, cribs and baby bags, but we just hope he's careful up on that ladder.'

Alameda County announces diaper bank program for families in need
The Brief A new program will distribute over 15 million diapers and 37 million baby wipes for free, over the next three years. The program is a partnership between local nonprofits and Alameda County. ALAMEDA, Calif. - The Institute for Research on Poverty says diapers cost a family around $100 per month, per child, and one in three parents are facing diaper scarcity. Alameda County is working to alleviate that cost for residents, and on Monday announced a new diaper bank program that will distribute more than 15 million diapers and 37 million baby wipes for free. The $5.8 million project will make supplies available for three years, at 50 distribution points throughout the county. What they're saying The program is the result of a partnership between Alameda County, local nonprofits and "What SupplyBank does is competitively source these from manufacturers directly, and passes those savings on to the county for this partnership," Benito Delgado-Olson, executive director of said. "The safety net for early childhood development should include diapers and wipes. That's what makes today such a success story, because it will be sustainable beyond the booms and busts of our state general fund and our federal budget process." Organizers say the program is a social service and safety net being integrated with nutrition and other low-income family plans, at a time when federal funds are in danger of being reduced or eliminated entirely. "In the city of Oakland, over half the children under age 6 are insured through Medicaid. It's not something that's a small program. It is actually central to the health of our community," Kristin Spanos, CEO of the nonprofit organization First 5 Alameda County, said. SupplyBank assists with federal diaper bank programs in San Francisco and Sonoma Counties which are at risk. Those programs are funded through May, 2026. "We don't know what's going to happen after that," Delgado-Olson said. "If you cut food assistance, if you cut healthcare, if you cut core services that have been backbones and cornerstones of our public social safety net since the Great Society Generation, the consequences are going to be severe for everybody." The program's organizers are hosting an orientation on Tuesday and after that diapers will be available throughout the county. Anyone interested in learning more can call 211.
