4. But used cloth diapers still need to be stored until they can be laundered

If the parents have an apartment or house with a washer & dryer it is much easier then if the parent is living in a car/shelter/tent/couch surfing.

I do remember my mom dumping contents in the toilet, storing the smelly diapers till laundry day then drying them on a closeline.
It was a huge amount of work. If the parents are doing low paid jobs& a side hustle, those hours to do this work may not be there.
50 yrs ago, there were more 1 income families, so usually the female partner had an unpaid job as house manager.


EDITED TO ADD, After a brief Google search, I found this company-https://www.suddsandsunshine.com/plans-pricing. $50 wk-" Los Angeles and surrounding areas $50/wk.
