Emily and I are proud to be joining Pampers in helping to spread the word about their One Pack = One Vaccine program. This program, is part of a global initiative with UNICEF to wipe out maternal and neonatal tetanus (MNT). MNT is a preventable disease that claims the lives of approximately 128,000 infants and 30,000 mothers in less industrialized nations each year – that’s approximately one death every four minutes.
For every specially marked pack of Pampes diapers and wipes you purchase through May 1st in the U.S. and Canada, the funds for one life-saving vaccine will be donated! So by doing something you do ANYWAYS, you can help save a life! In addition, if you are part of the Pampers Gifts to Grow program, you can redeem Gifts to Grow points for a special onesie that will also trigger the donation of a vaccine.
Here’s what this awesome campaign has accomplished in past years, from the campaign’s website:
Funding from the “One Pack=One Vaccine” program has been essential to helping UNICEF provide much-needed tetanus vaccines to help protect moms and their newborn babies in developing nations against tetanus.
1. In the 2008 North America campaign, Pampers provided funding to UNICEF for over 50 million tetanus vaccines to help protect moms and their newborn babies against tetanus.
2. In the 2009 campaign in North America, Pampers aims to raise funds to help provide an additional 30 million vaccines.
3. Thanks to Pampers’ funding, the total global donations have helped UNICEF provide more than 100 million vaccines through August 31, 2008, and the North American goal was far exceeded.
4. The global campaign goal is to provide funding for more than 200 million life-saving tetanus vaccines over the next three years.

My son just moved up from size 2’s to 3’s, which means we’re out of the Swaddlers stages. 🙁
But it’s exciting too since he just started crawling and the Pampers have always been the best diapers for our family.
