The answer for super heavywetter!

The pink one is BabyBeehind OS bamboo fitted diaper with 2 snap in soaker.

All of them are Aussie brand nappies... specially design as night nappies.

STAY TUNE!!!

Wool cover can be stinky too!

Anyone encounter this before? Well, I did!

Maybe I didn't wash so frequently (imagine after 1 month of use... hehe...)...
Maybe the fitted diaper itself is not absorbent enough...
Maybe it's time for new lanolizing...
Maybe it was not wash throughly after previous use...
Maybe the cover already been use for a long time with so many wash and lanolizing in between... (Still you got to wash and rinse more often when it's very stinky)

I was first thought most probably it's the fitted diaper itself that stink but I discovered even with baby's first pee, the horrible smell already spread in the room. A few times like this made me concluded that the cover itself stink too!

SOLUTION:
Wash and rinse several times (drying in between) before lanolise. This is to make sure you wash away the old lanolin which already covered layers by layers for so long... in my case I use wool almost everynight. Be it longies, soaker, shorties... wash, rinse and go under the sun once a while.

NOTE:
It's not recommended to put the woolies under the sun as this will break the fiber. But occassionally (in this case for example) is fine.

Please share with me if you have new explore on this matter!

Yeah! Can use pocket diaper for night time!

Meaning my DS is now no longer a heavywetter... Am still using bamboo soaker as insert for that extra absorbency. Well, as long as it's made from bamboo, be it the snap in soaker from BabyBeehind fitted or bamboo insert from Green Kids (a pocket diaper brand from Aussie) or any you think is possible to be used as an insert for a pocket diaper, they all works!

Since DS takes more solid food nowadays, the pee volume is greater but lesser. Maybe because the bladder control could be better as he's going to be 1 year old in a couple of days... Or maybe becasue he's not on any formula milk yet (exclusively breastfeed boy)... I can recall last time when my DD reached 11 months old there's no night time cloth diapering system that suit her at all!!! Until I got Dream Ez fitted diaper and a wool soaker... Never had any successful experience in using pocket diaper for night diapering.

TIPS:

Remember I have one defected and affected bamboo fitted diaper? I never wear this on my DS anymore since it looks awww to be in contact directly with the skin. If I throw away feel sayang (wasted) so in the end decided to use it as an INSERT! Yes, reuse it! :O

1) This is how I fold before put into a Large pocket diaper - in half:

2) Add a top layer of microfiber for that extra fast absorbing and extra thirst...

3)

If you have a Medium size pocket diaper, use trifold method:

1)

2)

3)

Money saving, no need to buy extra bamboo insert and you got absorbent insert for night diapering with Pocket Diaper... LOL!!!

Frustrated!

Probably it's raining season lately... morning rain comes, sunshine out in the afternoon or the other way round. Worst still whole day was pouring rain... what I worried most is the damp cloth diapers / inserts... Took almost 2 days to dry not to mention those absorbent fitted.

It will stink and develope mold if there's no sunshine for even 2 days! I'm too worry and too concious about this... but what to do? Dry in aircon room or under ceiling fan? Still no promising in smell free diapers...

The most terrible part is the maid hand washed those modern CD, which are normally thick but machine washed the thin lampin!!! Arrggh.....

Aussie brand modern cloth nappy/diaper

Hmm... I wonder how come our very own CD e-store seldom venture into Aussie brand nappies? In fact, there are also quite good quality and nice workmanship too. The one that we know in our market are BabyBeehind (all time favourite), Cute Tooshies, Itti Bitti, and the latest Cushie Tushies AI2 / AIO.

Maybe because Aussie brand never appear in DiaperPin? Well, we all know that DiaperPin is US based... any idea CD reviews on Aussie brand?

DIY: Non-Sew Prefold

Guess what? You can make this out using 2 pieces of lampin!

Can't wait to share with you all the new found method that I had tried and now using this everyday (except nap and outing of course) on my boy! It is easy and can hold up to at least 2-3 pees till all wet... So, no need to be restless in changing lampin after 1 pee. As I always say, don't throw away your old lampin, they are still very useful.

The picture below show you what you need to have... sorry as I forgot to include a Snappi as well.

Here goes:

2x lampin
1 or 2 nappy liner (for baby's bum to feel dry)
1 Snappi

Optional - 1 diaper cover




Fold one lampin (the first lampin) into rectangular, it's tri-folded. This is as the center, the absorbent part.

Open up wide the other lampin ( the second lampin) and place the rectangular lampin at the center of it.

Fold down the top and bottom layers of the second lampin as shown in the pic above.

Fold up the edge of the left of the second lampin to form the "wing". Do the same for the right side.

Then, fold again on the "wing" one more time to make it longer and trimmer. In fact you can do wahtever way you like with the wing. Do share with me if you find other better method. I fold it again because I want a more thicker wing.

Basically it is the second lampin "hugging" the first lampin. LOL...

This is the look after the "wing" that I desire been folded up (turn your head to your right... sorry as I forgot to change the rotation of the pic) and I placed the nappy liner at the center. It looks like Optimus Prime from Transformers, isn't it? LOL... just joking...

Put baby at the center and pull up the center part.

The "wing" is a bit tricky as I will do a twist to it when the "wing" comes to the center. It's not easy to explain here but you can try it out and see.

Pull on the other side of the "wing" and twist it down at the center.

Fasten with Snappi. Can you see how I twisted the right "wing" down?

Closer look...

The side of the legs... I have to admit it's quite big and not snuggly. But very breathable as air can flow in.. LOL! Therefore this non-sew prefold is NOT SUITABLE for baby with explosive breastfeed poo poo.


Advantages of this non-sewn prefold:

1. Can use with Snappi and free of scratchy and poke from the sharp "teeth" of Snappi. Better than 1 lampin with Snappi.

2. More absorbent than 1 lampin and can change baby after 2-3 pees.

3. Breathable if not cover-up, good for daytime when baby is awake.

4. Reuse the traditional cloth with modern inspiration so that you don't throw away your existing lampin.

Need more absorbency? Try to add this at the center of the first lampin.

Enjoy and let me know what do you think...

QUOTE: Can you suggest which CD to use...

I had been received lots of mama asking to recommend which CD is good to use. Well, I know this is going to be a routine questions as we are having many new mothers trying out modern cloth diapers nowadays. I'm not bored with the questions BUT please read my ~RECOMMENDATION~!

First and foremost, there must be a reason why you want to use CD, right? Before junping into what brand to use PLEASE IDENTIFY:

1. Why you want to use CD? Everyone have a reason why they want to convert to CD. Mine is here and read through as a sharing with you all.

2. What are you looking for from the modern CD? To be used daytime, nighttime, to replace dispo eventually...

3. Who is going to put it on the baby? The mother? Caregiver?

4. Do you have any specific requirements? Long hours, plan to use on 2 kids who are not yet potty train, on tight budget, ...

Basically I can help to suggest a system to try out but the decision is always yours. If your reason is to promote Green Earth, you can just try every brands or types available but do bear in mind IN ORDER TO BE GREENER, WE ARE ENCOURAGED TO REUSE, REDUCE (buy less if you can) & RECYCLE (don't forget lampin if you already have them!)!!!
