DALLAS, Oct. 11, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- This holiday season, Huggies brand is helping babies everywhere dress like "Claus for a Cause" with its new limited-edition Huggies Santa Diaper.  Huggies Santa diapers offer a unique and festive design allowing little ones to strut around in the jolliest diaper of the holiday season. By purchasing Huggies Santa Diapers moms across North America can help a baby in need through Huggies Every Little Bottom program.

The Huggies brand is enlisting parents nationwide to get involved and purchase the gift that keeps on giving. For every pack of Huggies Santa Diapers or Holiday Wipes purchased, Huggies Every Little Bottom program will help diaper a baby in need.

Through the Every Little Bottom program, the Huggies brand has committed to donating more than 22.5 million diapers to babies in need in 2011.

"This holiday season, Huggies is allowing parents to celebrate with their little one in a fun and festive way while also focusing in on the message of giving," said Erik Seidel, Vice President, Huggies brand.

Ab out Huggies Every Little Bottom

Huggies Every Little Bottom has a single mission – to help get diapers to babies in need in the U.S. and Canada. The program was developed in response to a ground breaking new study that revealed the critical issue of diaper need. Diaper need is the struggle to provide babies with diapers. Today, 1 in 3 American and 1 in 5 Canadian mothers struggle with diaper need, and have had to cut back on basics – food, utilities such as heat or electricity, or even childcare – in order to provide enough diapers for their babies. With the support of partner organizations, grassroots efforts and moms across the country, the program will build awareness of the issue and work to create a long-term solution.
