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.comBlogger1301100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6564873103898338721.post-89455742798769560582011-11-14T21:15:00.000+08:002011-11-14T21:15:44.172+08:00

It'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 well

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 toddler. During

Great achievement for parent who is looking forward for moment like this... Woo hoo!!!

I'm in the middle of making a VERY SERIOUS decision... on whether to use training pants for my 18 months old DS. I'm keen to try on using training pants as DS already started to fuss whenever he pee and asked to get the just-wet diaper away. He is now able to hold pee for 1-2 hours during day time. The problem now is the timing... DS already starts to tell when he wants to pee and by the time we

Yes, finally my DS at the age of 17 months old show his awareness of potty-traninig! He is now able to inform us whenever he did his big business... he will goes like:" Errrgh... errgh..." sounds even he has done his business with a diaper on.

Lately been wondering when we can have our own diaper service one-stop center? I'm pretty sure one day you'll find worn out velcro, falling snaps, problematic fleece layer of the pocket diaper, torn PUL layers, loose elastic... and lots more... which I think it is possible to be repaired rather than throw away or sell as second, huh?I'm facing this problem inside the PUL pocket diaper... it looks

After receiving many requests and here I am open up for orders.I'm still in progress working out the pricing, it's really a tough job. But basically the price willinclude the cost of the wool yarn, shipping and last but not least my hourly time spend.PLEASE, please, please bear with me as I'm a mom to 2 young kids, therefore it will takes a little longer time to complete one longies or soaker.

Probably due to our hot and humid climate, mold is easily grown.Encountered this problem and this problem and most of them started with stinky diapers or inserts. Even when they are freshly collected from the clothesline under the big hot sun. I seek for many solutions from

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...

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

Worst still whole day was pouring rain... what I worried most is the damp cloth diapers / inserts...

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.

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

Ever wonder whether there are any specialty design fitted diapers for girls and boys? For example, as for boys the front part will be more absorbent. Maybe adjustable inner soaker will be one of them, such as the Baby Beehind fited diaper.Any recommendation as would love to know more about this type of fitted diaper if you came across before.Thanks for sharing...

What say you? I wish to know what other mamas voices since I lately found out if not planning properly, buying cloth diapers will be way more expensive than buying disposable diapers!Y0u will be saying it's better for the environment, less pollution for the world...

This is a One-Size fitted nappy that comes in 6 mouth-watering colours.

Yeah... finally we got a new front loader washing machine. It has "Prewash" function, "Soak and Drain",... I haven't explore it yet as the maid is using it everyday. It has 850 degree powerful spinning and the gentler 500 degree. MIL said it won't be good to use 850 degree as that will spoil the clothes??!! Maybe one day I shall give it a try... :PSo, good bye to Indesit and hello to Electrolux!

I think it will work as long as the napkin is thick enough... how to make it thick, besides from the original thickness of the cloth... Try this:-- Hang your napkin to dry when it's still wet/dripping or wring lightly.- It is good if you have direct sunlight.- Iron napkin if you want.Discovered this accidentally when the washing machine is unable to dry up heavy wash load and the super hardwoking

This is possible! Provided the lampin is thick and it hooked on very well... Checked for the sharp edges from Snappi is not hurting baby. Therefore, Snappi is much more easier to use after much practise compare to traditional "pin". Should post the pictures if I remember to snap with a camera (yeah.... now snapped in the mind). :P

Anyone found that the washing machine stop spinning at the last cycle of rinse when you wash a big load of nappies? I mean inclusive of 6-8 fitted diapers, 4-5 PUL pocket diapers, 10-15 or more of microfiber + hemp + cotton + bamboo inserts at one go?I'm worry is it because of the weight from the load (imagine when the CDs are full of water, especially I'm having those very thirsty fitted diapers

It's been very hot these few days but guess what... I still wear DS with fitted diaper with wool soaker during daytime. Feels and sounds hot, right? To my surprise, the fitted diaper's edges in which I touched was wet became dry by the time I changed him! I remembered lotusutol from Aussie told me only if the weather is very dry the fitted diaper under wool will get dry very fast.Well, at least I

That's Dream-Ez fitted diaper!!! Super absorbent!!! I use size M on my 3 months old DS and it lasted from 9pm till 9am or 11pm till 11am. Furthermore, it's not even all wet eventhough he's a heavywetter. Oh yes, DS sleeping time varies from day to day but I'm so relieved if he's on Dream-Ez fitted with wool longies.Tried out Baby Beehind bamboo fitted with the longest doubler that comes with it

Discovered the goodness of baby leg warmies just recently... well, I knitted wool soakers and longies to be used with fitted diapers. In real life, it is bulky to use on small baby who is a heavywetter. Oh... I love to add booster or doubler for my heavywetter baby. Therefore, the bum looks so big with the diaper & wool cover. It looks so uncomfortable when the bum is higher than the head. Get

Can dear CD mummies share with me what is your routine or how do you wash the CD with those yellowish stain on CD? Most of the CD manufacturer mentioned no need to soak CD but I realized the poo poo stain is not easily to wash off. At least soaking for half day then only can ensure it's 100% clean after spin and dry in washing machine.Besides that, I found out laying a piece or two nappy liner on

Bleach & too much detergent!This is my fault as I never inform my maid not to use bleach. Saw a few fleece liner carried some colourful "dye" from other baby clothes few days back. Surprisingly they are gone when I checked again. Needless to say, she used bleach on them.I didn't scold her but tell her the correct way to wash CD and too much detergent discovered by smelling.

This is the reason why I said my newborn baby fit in GAD pocket diaper so well! It's so tiny compare to other brands such as Fuzzi Bunz in the pic. I wonder whether there's any standard for cloth diaper sizing? Oh... the Small size of Fuzzi Bunz is actually same as the Medium of GAD pocket. My baby boy is 5.1kg now at 7 weeks old and Small GAD seems a little tight on him as I'm already using the

Well, thought I will be using more of the modern cloth nappies but ended up still have to stick to the flat and square cotton gauze... our traditional lampin! The main reason is my baby boy developed sensitive and allergy skin, he has red patches and white bumps all over the genital area, especially the inner thighs. You will feel so pity towards this little fellow when you see the affected

Obviously the lampin when folded in rectangular shape is bigger than the S size diaper cover. That's a Bummis Super Wrap in S. I think this won't be a nice fold up for breasfeeding baby with lots of poo poo as the lampin won't be able to catch the poo near the leg casing area, isn't it? I mean the poo poo will have the tendency to "dirty" the diaper cover straight away... Personally, I still

I Was wondering whether Snappi can be used and how to hook it on...When you lay the fitted flat and try to hook, it won't work... my mum told me about this and experiment with me before.So, I tried to assume a baby is wearing

I really stop getting more CD and these are latest addition for the coming newborn. I think it's enough since I will be using more lampin (flat cotton gauze) for newborn till it's not absorbent enough.

It's about how practical to use fitted diaper on newborn or young baby? What will be the best solutions? I started to use cloth diapers when my girl was about 10-11 months old and therefore is clueless about CDing a newborn or younger baby. Is it:For daytime and outing- Flat cotton gauze (lampin) with diaper cover?- Fitted diaper with or without a diaper cover?- Pocket diaper?- AIO?Question:

It's been a few days my girl hates to be in the diaper... be it cloth or disposable. Guess she's considered successful in potty training and I think she just knows how nice and cool not to be in the diaper. She is able to hold the bladder for up to max 2 hours! So, nowadays we can go out for a short trip without any diaper! Hurray!!!It's only a few days before her 2nd birthday, she shows a very

Material100% BAMBOO side-snapping multiple size fitted diaper. This is the softest fitted diaper and come in various mouth-watering colour.

Feel so nice to have 3 different sizes wool soakers knitted! Sorry for the distorted picture as the Large one (rightmost) is currently in use, so not many chance to have it stays in the cabinet. Therefore, this is a rare picture to have 3 of them together... LOL!In fact size S and M are knitted from the same pattern but by the time I was knitting the M one, MIL and myself were worry the wool yarn

My gal's favourite diaper - Itti Bitti D'lishin Rockmelon Started to train my gal to use the toilet for 1 week plus now and the progress seems quite smooth along the way despite there are times that she refused to be co-operative. there are some time intervals for her to pee and she is able to tell when she wants to do her big business. Accidents happened and that's when lampin (the cotton gauze

It was raining yesterday. MIL put on disposable diaper for my dd as her lampin were all used and waiting to get dry. There are still a few fitted diaper in the cabinet so I took out the Itti Bitti Boo fitted and brought along the disposable diaper to stand by for the next change.I showed my dd both cloth and disposable diaper and asked her to pick which one she wants to wear. You bet! She chose

MaterialSide-snapping multiple size diaper. 100% organic cotton for the inner soaker and PUL for outer layer All-In-One (AIO) diaper. This is also the first AIO I bought due to its trimness. How trim it can be? Comparable with Itti Bitti's diaper. Something similar about this two brand is they are both Made in China.Lasting?It last at least 3 hours on my dd.

This is the cotton flat or lampin... don't throw away them if you are still having. Reuse them as they can be insert for pocket diaper or if you can sew, make them into prefold. The challenge for toddler to use lampin is to increase the absorbency. Place small insert or doubler at the middle fold of lampin. The small insert is hide under the layer so it won't in direct contact with baby's

Was wondering why my dd's GAD size L pocket diaper becomes so loose? Tried back size M and she still fit in the largest setting (the most outer snaps) of it! Amazing??!! Not really I suspect she lost some chubby fat around her thigh, perhaps? Waistline still tight... well, not really tight but very fitting in M size.Now I understand why the OS fit all diaper can last till the child is 3 years old

Yeah... I'm one crazy CD mama and I won't stop experimenting with the CD and inserts that I have. You got to be more creative if you ever find that the fitted that you have is not absorbent enough and reuse whatever you have in the stash.Shown here are two not so absorbent fitted for my dd (which may happen to be very absorbent for some babies) with GAD hemp insert wrapped at the outer layer,

I just have to write this post as I am really not very satisfy with what our local e-stores carry as until today I cannot find a particular diaper that is suitable for super heavywetter! Maybe they are but not obviously stated? Besides pretty colours and cute prints (which are the major factors to attract mommies) does anyone realized the need for heavywetter babies/toddlers? This is so sad as

It is the fit!!! I couldn't find any snug fitting disposable for my dd even with top brands which is so costly!

Since she was infected with virus and had quite a number of explosive diarrhea, paed also advised to use disposable diapers as the running poo may contains germs that is contractable to people who deal with the diapers laundry.Therefore, I had to temporarily switched to disposable for this matter.

Please read instruction from manufacturer on how to wash the diaper even it is suggested to wash in hot. Some will suggest initial wash in hot but NOT every subsequent wash in HOT too!Washing in hot too frequent will cause the diaper to wear off faster, meaning reduce the life span of the diaper. So, be careful and check again and again if you have a few different types of diapers from different

Never tried this combination until recently and all my worries were gone after we went out for almost 3 hours. No leak, no dampness when carrying my heavywetter dd and she looks as happy as before walking around. But the fitted diaper was... phew... soaking wet.I'm glad that it works plus no compression leakage too. Therefore, instead of PUL diaper cover, right now I have extra option. Believe me

Can anyone advise how to sew back the velcro? This is Snuggle Hugz sherpa fitted. I can't imagine how this could happen to me! Hand sewing? Up close
