CLOTH.....THE JOURNEY CONTINUES

Okay...I think now it's time for me to write something that I liked the most....(well, among other things)

I used lampin during confinement for the first 3 of my daughters then converted to disposable diapers (naturally) after that until they started to potty train.

For Zulfa, I started with dispo during confinement ( I guess, I'm too lazy to wake up in the middle of the night to change the lampin) but then converted (with full awareness) to cloth diapers until now.

With Wafa, started off with cloth diapers, very seldom used lampin and continue with cloth until now.

So, I have 2 children on cloth diapers (CD) full time...


Jeng..Jeng ....*drum roll* It show time!!.....(my very very humble stash - *blush*)

This is the small collection of CDs I got during my preparation to receive Wafa.I got prefold, pocket CDs - mostly inherited from Zulfa and bought second hand, then few fitted diapers with diaper covers.All ready in my newly-purchased diaper changing table.

Fairuz wanted to be a part of my collection.(She missed the chance to be on fully CD...only occasional night time CD when she was still not potty trained.



WAFA IN ACTION

And I am still collecting for Wafa and Zulfa - the temptation is sooo irresistable.

My next challange is to potty trained ZUlfa and she can pass her CDs to Wafa and I can start to sell some of her small-not-fit-anymore stuff.

This is really fun...

Cannot imagine how I survived the "not so fun" of disposable diapers years ago :D

MY PASSION, MY OBSESSION, ( and hopefully not) MY MADNESS

As much as I want to become very professional with high awareness level for more serious issues, I cannot hide the other side of me.

The side of a woman, mother and parent.

After Zulfa came into our life more than a year ago, my life-style has changed quite significantly, and with a little help of technology mostly internet, there are actually a whole lot of other perspectives to see how life is all about.

And one thing for sure, the good outcome is I used more and more cloth instead of disposable thingy including MODERN CLOTH DIAPERS for Zulfa.


I will let the photos do most of the talking.....


MY HUMBLE STASH OF CDs ( you will be surprised to see other mommies' collection)
My other half of the stash are in the laundry








MY LITTLE ANGELS WITH CDs


ZULFA IN ACTION (she just loves to be in CD)














THIS IS HOW YOU 'ASSEMBLE' A POCKET DIAPER

The left side is the pocket diaper and the right one is
the insert.

put the insert into a pocket at the back
of the pocket diaper. You can adjust the absorbency
by using different type of insert.

you can lay a fleece liner - optional for easily
catch the poos and for easy cleaning.


Now it is ready.

AND FOR THE ALL IN ONE (ITTI BITTI D'LISH IS ONE OF MY FAVOURITE)

The outer shell (waterproof)


The outer shell and the snap in soaker.
the snap is colour coded for easy assembling

Just snap in the soaker and it's ready to use.
The right side is a fitted diaper (non-waterproof) with a
lay in fleece liner.It must be use with a diaper
cover to make it waterproof.
the left side is the Bummis cover with print.

I JUST LOVE, LOVE AND LOVE USING ALL MY CDs........environmental friendly, easy to use and wash and daddy friendly too.






THIS IS HOW I KEEP THE SOILED DIAPER

In the wetbag with zipper to hold the smell
(it comes in various prints or plain colours)

or in the pail liner (should be in the large
pail which I don't have so it hang
at the door handle)

My laundry for CDs take place every 2-3 days and it all done by the washine machine.

It is so easy....

I cannot give more excuses NOT to use the CDs....

Beside being so easy to use, it also give you another kind of satisfaction of being a mom.
Giving the best to your child, can help to save the environment and CDs come in many cute prints and pattern.

But, I need to warn you, you can be addicted to it and wanting to buy more, more and more....

Aren't they simply too gorgeous to resist...?

I just have to resist myself from buying more and more.....just for the sake of having different pattern and style..

And with my surge of motherhood hormones right now, I am still collecting CDs for my latest addition any time soon.
And that will deserve another entry.


CLOTH IS GREAT......



Allahu'alam

LAMPIN KAIN (CLOTH DIAPER).....BIAR BETUL!!

Mungkin ramai yang tak percaya dengan kenyataan ini... ada ke zaman sekarang ini, dunia yang penuh dengan barangan pakai buang, ada lagi orang yang memakai lampin kain atau CLOTH DIAPER (CD)..
Soalan yang biasa didengari....

"tak susah ke nak basuh"

" kalau baby berak camne
"Bukan ke lampin yang biasa kita pakai tu, sekali kencing je, dah basah satu badan baby"

Ya..... percaya atau tidak, CD juga telah mengalamai zaman evolusi yang sangat menakjubkan...

CD yang moden, telah banyak berubah dan sangat MODEN, dan sebenarnya ia merupakan berita baik untuk para ibu di luar sana...

Saya telah menggunakan CD ini sejak 7 bulan yang lalu dan sudah lama saya ingin menulis tentang CD ini tetapi entah kenapa masih bertangguh sampailah ke hari ini...

semuanya bermula dengan kelahiran Zulfa.... saya seperti mana ramai ibu yang lain menggunakan lampin pakai buang untuk si kecil sejak dari dalam pantang lagi. Manakan tahan untuk menukar lampin kain setiap 10 minit atau setengah jam sekali... tidur malam pun tak lena

sampailah satu hari saya rasa bersalah kerana terlalu banyak 'membuang' .Maklumlah baby baru lahir memang kerap buang air besar....

Saya mula bertanya tentang alternatif untuk menggantikan lampin pakai buang di e-group yang saya sertai. Walaupun saya pernah terbaca pasal lampin kain ini, tetapi saya tidak ada idea macam mana menggunakannya.

ALhamdulillah, ada beberapa ibu yang menggunakan CD ini dan mereka berkongsi maklumat dan pengalaman dan disitulah bermulanya perjalanan saya menggunakan CD ini.

Oh... rupanya CD ini ada banyak brand dan cantik-cantik printnye....
Kopak lah jugak poket masa mula-mula nak beli tapi memang berbaloi dan rasa puas hati.

Satu lagi, rasa tak bersalah kerana berjaya mengurangkan sampah atas muka bumi Malaysia ini... CD ini ada macam-macam jenis dan masing-masing ada kelebihan dan kekurangan. Banyak bergantung kepada baby kita...

Walaumacam manapun, saya tidak pernah menyesal dengan keputusan ini walaupun hanya menggunakannya untuk anak no 4 ( macam kena beranak lagi je :D )Sebenarnya banyak lagi gambar Zulfa dengan CD nya tapi tak sempat nak upload lagi...tapi contoh-contoh CD bolehlah tunjuk...

Insya Allah di lain kelapangan.... boleh tunjuk stok yang lain pula......

Yang penting....buatlah sesuatu untuk meyelamatkan alam sekitar anda..

Bukankah Islam itu rahmat untuk sekian alam...?
