Actor Jack Henry Robbins, son of actors Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins, pokes at himself being a “Nepo Baby.” He’s using his platform to gain attention for the problem of diaper need. According to the nonprofit National Diaper Bank Network, 1 in 2 families with young children are in need of diapers. “The fact that half of U.S. families with young children can’t afford diapers is a serious issue, so it’s an honor to use my comedy and nepo baby character for something so clearly good and important as their mission to end diaper need,” Robbins said. In a survey the nonprofit conducted, 1 in 4 parents and caregivers with diaper need reported missing work or school because they did not have the diapers required to drop their babies off at daycare. And 28% of respondents said they skipped meals so they could pay for diapers. “So many public health issues facing our country are complex and seemingly unsolvable. Ending diaper need is simple and only requires small things like diapers,” said CEO and Founder Joanne Samuel Goldblum. “We are so grateful to Jack and the entire team at Tombras for bringing a bit of humor to a very real problem that is prevalent in all of our communities. We all know that every baby deserves clean diapers.”
