On cloth diapering my lil' Ryan..

I really take a long gap to update story on my cloth diapering journey. Pheww!!Hopefully this time, I'm able to publish the entry. My 1st entry was during confinement period, here. Maybe it was not a good and happy story to tell, telling on how I managed the poo poo, huhuhu it was not a pleasant story to be shared actually. Before that, please dont get offended with my entry. I'm just sharing experiences that I went through and just my 2 cents!!

Dont get me wrong! I'm not regretted on decision to cloth diapering my lil child. In fact, to be honest, I 've saved a lot on diapers for our monthly expenses. If  last time, Adam needed to mix the blue and purple Huggies, Ryan on the other hand can enjoy the comfortness of Huggies Ultra as I just need 1 packet for 1 month usage. Owh yeap, I'm not fully cloth diapering my baby yet. 1 thing because of the stock of cds that I have now and plus, I preferred to put him on plastic diaper at night, kalau tak mahu tido mommy tak lena! I just used 1 diaper at night and during travelling or outing. So I can be considered as half cd'ing kut ;) But its all up to us, even if u just use cd once a day, at least u have save 1 diaper and help to save the environment too. *Ehem ehem macam duta green peace plak ;)*

The day I decided to cloth diapering my no2, it was actually after a long discussion with Mr Hubby. It really because we try to cut down on the expenses. *gaji naik tak seberapa mane kan ;(* Meaning that, I really have to decided on the right cd to invest, tak nak nanti beli tak elok, banyak plak nak kena beli. Besides, I have to consider the daycare too, bukan semua caregiver nak layan cd cd ni. Lucky that I have the nursery which accepted cd.*sebab rasenye Ryan je pun yang ber"cd" bagai* So, my journey to find the good cd began as early as my early pregnancy. And finally decided on GroVia, All-in-2  for nursery and for travelling which more comfy is All-in-1. Reason I decided on Grovia, tho the price a lil bit expensive to compare with other brand and type, its because of the shell (outer) which can be used 2-3 times with different soaker (inner). Meaning that, for nursery, I just need 3 shells and 5 soaker for 10 hours usage. And so far after about 6 months on this, I really loved the trimness of the diapers.

*size L ok..beli size M nehi muat!!*

There come the toughest part! Handling the soiled diapers specially when there are poo poo inside. Yurk!!!And I was given privilege to handle that part. Yes, me only, no one else. Hate it. Buat si Ryan active duk poo poo smp 2 kali, maka jenuh lah duk menyembur balik keje tu. Naik pening jugak tau mengadap poo poo baby ni, specially Ryan has started on solids now. huhuhu. But the rest, lucky I have a good helper, Mr Hubby who will help to put the diapers on washing machine and hang it when they are done. *While mommy duk bz sental botol kat dapur ;)* Thats what I always said, if u dont hv maid to help u on this, u better need to have green light from ur hubby, as to handle this alone, with other things to do, it wont an easy job.

InsyaAllah, even I had to face many challenges on cloth diapering my lil boy, I will continue this journey till end. *sampai Ryan diaper free la maksud I ;)* Never  turn back, InsyaAllah. But yet, I have to set my mind and be focus, trying as much not to leisure my money on fancy cd. hahahaha!! Yes, I tell u, once u are in cd world, u might be easily attracted and distracted with many pattern and designs, and sgt mahal woo!! If you see, semua stock cd I mmg plain. B'cos I normally grabbed the cd during sales and not so many designs offered. I'm ok with that. In fact, I will only top up my cds everytime sales come. *Memang sgt alert bila tiny tapir or fabulous mom buat sales, as u can easily get up to 20% discounts on GroVia, it saved me alot!!* 

As of now, I'm proud to say that I'm cloth diapering my lil baby. Its not an easy one specially if you're a working mom, minus maid!! *Hi-5 Mr hubby!!*

ps: So happy that Adam now is diaper free!!Will share the good story soon ;)

CD Newbie???

Yes I am!

Alhamdulillah, initial planned to start cloth diapering on baby Ryan success..clap clap to myself!

Eventho I'm still new and still crawling in cd'ing my lil ones, but for me.. its already a big achievement ;)

Remember my 3 master plans for the newborn http://mommynadia.blogspot.com/2010/10/planning-for-newborn-baby.html..InsyaAllah, I'm striving to make all of those things happened!

*Ya Allah,mudahkan segala urusan hambamu ini..**moga bonus tahun ni masyuk..Amin!!!

Talking about CD, its not a new thing...ramai dah mommy yg success cd'ing their babies and kids..thumbs up!

After considering many factors, I think I'm ready to cd my baby too..

I have planned to study and get as much info as I can since my early pregnancy..

Due to time constraint, I just managed to collect all the info by 3rd trimester..pity me ;(

So many things to know about cd..a lot of types and terms, and even the brands ..until kadang2 rase lost sgt..

Stress pun ada duk fikir how to start..what to buy, how many cd to buy...pening betul..

Lucky, I had someone who I called my cd guru to help..yes she's the adorable Pn Farrah..

I email her, with a long list of questions, and she replied me with a very detail and comprehensive answers..

Yeap..after few times mailing session,then I have decided on how to start on my CD project!

Thanks gal for all the tips..it really help me alot!

Bukan amik jalan pintas, but I think with  a good recommendation from the expert, really make my CD journey a smooth sailing one and the main thing..I  can save a lot of $$$ and time..

But, unfortunately, baru sempat buat sekali lawatan rasmi ke Tiny Tapir @ Bangsar Village, few days after, sudah deliver..aiyark!

Mujur during motherhood expo earlier, dah sempat beli 2 set Grobaby AI2 CD..

The 1st week of my cd journey , I wasn't cd'ing baby Ryan..*its ok..but I did bf Ryan...more important!..hehehe ;)

After all the jaundice story, 2nd week, I started to make online buying @ TT..

No more compromise..dah nekad kali ni...!

The Grobaby shell with traditional muslin square aka kain lampin 

Sementara menunggu order sampai, I used lampin and the grobaby shell and Alhamdulillah, it works well..no leaking at all..cuma every 2-3 hours kena check to ensure no poop or leak..

During my 2nd week, I just cd'ing Ryan during day time..not so confident to wear him at night..mommy malas lagik!

Few days later, the prefold stuff arrived..and after many sessions of pre-wash, I immediately started to use the lovely prefold..

5 colorful Bumwears prefolds, 1 Thirsties Diaper Cover and 2 Snappi..

Yes..for the 1st month, I have decided to use pefold and lampin with the diaper covers..

Sebab during this early month, the baby tend to poop alot ..so we really need to have many diapers at this stage..

So if I get start with prefold and lampin dulu,boleh lah jimat sket..ye lah every 2-3 hours nak kena tukar dah! Plus..beli cd cantek2, sayang pulak nak kena cuci selalu sb asyik kena poop baby ;'(..wuhahahahah

Ryan in 5 colorful prefolds..

Owh sila jangan gelak dgn hasil tangan sy..every time nak pakai prefold ni, Ryan start nangis..

Skrang dah pandai...cantek sket!  

The Grobaby shell, Thirsties and Wonder Wraps diaper covers in counterclockwise 

Alhamdulillah, Ryan dah lebih sebulan..

He already has a stable bowel movement..

Starting from last Sunday and Alhamdulillah till today, I have started using the cloth diaper..

And to challenge myself, I have stop buying the disposed diapers too..

Even I don't have any diaper spare at home..*tipulah..Abg Adam punye, ada lah...kalau dah terdesak???;)

So it really keeps me bz with the laundry session as my CD stash baru je 3,4 keping..;(

* Alhamdulillah ebm stock project tak terganggu as the ebm stocking project is my 1st priority!

Later on my next CD entry, I will share on how I started using my preferable choice of All In 2 (AI2) type of CD and my bz routine keep tracking the cd changing time to get Ryan cd changing schedule for the caregiver soon..

My new GroVia AI2 ..

*thanks che mimi ..jadik runner I pergi beli kat motherhood expo last fri..;)

As of now, I'm enjoying cd'ing my lil one..

Even a lil bz and kelam kabut during the 1st week of d'journey..

Alhamdulillah..I managed to handle it well..*winkwink

Ask myself.. why I want to cd my 2nd baby??

2 simple reasons..$$$ and I want to reduce smell of dispo diaper in my bathroom..simple rite!

Yeap..hopefully I'm contributing to Go Green Campaign too ;) * Aku semut kecil!

So, in order to achieve my 1st goal..I have to ensure Pn Nadia aka myself.. tidak terikut2 nafsu membeli cd yg cantek2, walaupun kadang2 mmg SANGAT teruja ..En Bie silalah monitor!

Currently,  my cd stash just enuff to cover for 2-3 days usage ..next month maybe kena tambah sket for nursery plak..

At this early stage, priority hanya untuk basics used..enuff for 4-5 days rotations on weekdays..

Later, bila dah stable, baru boleh berjoli2 beli untuk nafsu mata ;) 

Seriously, kalau diikutkan, banyak juga money kena invest to start cd'ing my 2nd baby..

I guess, maybe the 1st year ni, I will only generate less savings using the cd..but in long run, when all the cd stash boleh diturunkan untuk next baby,then only I will get the returns..InsyaAllah..*Kena start calculate ROI..

Semoga usaha murni saya ni berjaya..Amin..
