Episode Details

California’s new diaper program is sparking controversy: handing out 400 diapers per newborn—only in newborn and size one—despite warnings they’ll be wasted as babies grow fast. The state awarded a multi-million dollar contract to Baby2Baby, even though other groups offered more sizes at the same price. The contract was hidden for 66 days, with officials claiming a competitive bid process that records show wasn’t truly competitive. Critics also flagged potential conflicts of interest tied to Baby2Baby and the First Partner, and questioned the logic of sending non-exchangeable diapers without options to adapt as babies grow.
