With the revolution of modern cloth nappies, this is simply another interesting hobby to pick up by mums. I'll post my review on cloth diaper or nappies with their functionalities & charateristics as well as problems and obstacles along the way.Peridot&Sapphirehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07914979069348997688noreply@blogger.comBlogger130125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6564873103898338721.post-89455742798769560582011-11-14T21:15:00.000+08:002011-11-14T21:15:44.172+08:00SwitchingIt's been so long I never blog here... DS already 3 years old and only wearing on nappy for his night time. Totally in control for his pee and poo very well at day time. Besids that, he is also good at complaining which led to refuse to wear bulky CD compare to slim and sleek Pampers! (aka Disposable diaper).
I was so sad at the beginning knowing that DS won't be using any fitted diapers as wellPeridot&Sapphirehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07914979069348997688noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6564873103898338721.post-82712348398011043202011-03-30T00:51:00.000+08:002011-03-30T00:51:01.877+08:00How to determine your child is a heavywetter or lightwetter?Sounds tricky but it is true that you will be able to find out after you switch to using CD. This is especially more obvious when you use CD at night time... or leave the CD on the child for 2-3 hours... then you can find out.
In fact, I realized there are many factors that can contribute to having a heavywetter baby. Well, at least this is more obvious when your baby becomes a toddlerPeridot&Sapphirehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07914979069348997688noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6564873103898338721.post-85986705931715163502011-03-28T01:59:00.000+08:002011-03-28T01:59:54.708+08:00Time to say goodbye...Yeah... been neglecting this blog for quite a long time and guess what!

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?
