From 0 to 6 months, one baby will go through 10-12 diapers - a day!
It seems men are adept at changing diapers, using only 1 minute and 36 seconds to quickly complete the task, while women take an average of 2 minutes and 5 seconds. Well then, I guess that means you guys will be changing diapers from now on!
