Cloth diapering, anyone?

This time around I nak buat review pasal cloth diapers. Right now, it is part of my obsession besides breastfeeding. To be frank, I mmg enjoy jaga anak and I want more of them!!! Haha. Okay le's start the review now...

First time I kenal cloth diapers was from a friend, masa tu I baru bertunang. Dia bagi I brochure, then when I saw the penjimatan calculation, in my heart I dah kata, nanti dah ada anak nak guna. But well, bila tau harga sehelai, terus minat I pudar di situ. Ye la, belum kahwin, belum ada anak, masa tu pulak minat lebih ke make up dan baju. Hehe.

Then lepas dah ada anak, masa my lil princess dalam hari, dia kena nappy rash yang sangat teruk. So bawa g jumpa Dr. Y. Okay, dia kata, the only choice is to pakaikan my lil princess ngan lampin. I was like "You've got to be kidding!". Then my mom pun pergi la tlg belikan alat2 untuk pakai lampin, tapi x pakai pun sbb jumpa nappy rash cream yang baguih. Nope, not gonna tell the brand sbb I nak korang pakai cloth diapers --> towards a greener parents. Haha!

Okay, back to kisah dalam hari, dalam susah payah my mom beli lampin and stuffs, cloth diapers ada dalam almari and I totally forgot about it! Ye la, masa tu x terfikir. The cloth diaper brand is  "Little Buddy" I beli masa I pregnant. Harga dia okay, 4 pieces for RM 148 then free wet bag. I get this at Fabulous Mom, mmg shopping situ pun masa pregnant. Dia punya material is bamboo charcoal, khas utk yang berkulit sensitive. Charcoal tu pulak untuk elak bau najis baby --> katanya la...tapi mmg betul pun.

Haaa...ni la gambar dalam cloth diaper "Little Buddy" ne. Insert dia kena masuk ke dalam. Kay after dah few months, baru I pakai benda alah ne. Setakat ne mmg okay..no complaints. Cuci pun senang.Seriously!

Hmm, kenapala I terlupa pasal cloth diaper ni masa dalam pantang. Geram teringat yang I kena spend extra on buying nappy rash cream and disposable diapers. Ye la, sbb kena kerap tukar nak kurangkan rash dia.  Sabar jak!

Yang ini pulak I baru beli, AI2 dari Lunatots. CD yang ini lain sikit dari yang atas sbb yg ini insert dia kat luar. Cuma perlu tukar insert je after 4 jam, yang "seluar" dia tahan sampai 8 hours. Kira less laundry la and sgt praktikal. I bought 2 sets of this---> 5 pieces for RM 288 at Lunatots. Bila malam just tambah doubler kat atas insert, so boleh tahan lama sikit. Puas hati! Boleh jugak pergi www.lunatots.com for further info.

Ni gambar jarak dekat CD yang di review tadi. Bila pakai cloth diaper, rash pun tak berani datang lagi sbb ada air circulation and the material is very gentle and suitable to the baby skin. Dari newborn sampai umur 3 tahun boleh pakai benda ne if maintain well. CD juga org kata leh buat anak kita go for potty training faster. Good news!

Setakat ni, ini la collection CD that I have. Ada a few yang tengah jemur. Hehe. I choose neutral color so girl ke boy ke boleh guna. I hope to purchase another 10 in December. Yang sedihnya, nursery tak accept cloth diapers in their T & C. So I boleh ber CD only at night, weekends and public holidays or whenever I coti. Tapi walaupun masih kena purchase disposable diapers, tapi mmg super lambat habis. Lagi satu, sampah pun kurang, so boleh la contribute to pengurangan pencemaran alam sekitar. Tak silap I disposable diapers adalah salah satu sampah terbanyak di dunia and lambat nak decompose.

Please also refer to the experienced parents in other blogs on how to take care of the CD and cara yang betul untuk pakaikan CD for your child. Last but not least, if nak pakaikan your baby with CD when your out, get ready the wet beg to put the soiled CD inside. Lagi satu nak jimat lagi? pakai la cloth wipes, just guna air je. Much better than guna wipes yang pakai buang sbb ada banyak bahan chemical inside.

Okay, apa lagi? Renung-renungkan *wink* Benda ni if pandai jaga and maintain, Insyallah akan tahan until budak tu 3 years and if okay lagi, adik nya bulih la pakai preloved nya.Rajin2 kan la diri mencuci, tak ssh pun...Only the best for our children!!!

Ada banyak sangat brand CD yang available and terpulangla pada you all utk pilih yg terbaik for ur children. Ada yg murah and adayg mahal. I review yg 2 ne sbb I dah guna. So berani la komen. Hehe.

P/S: Tak, I tak jual benda ne and I tak dapat apa2 komisyen from these brands. Just nak share the benefits of CD selain dapat save some money and kurangkan sampah sarap di dunia ne. Hehe. For mommies, you guys can try cloth pads and cloth panty liner.
