Velcro Tape

Currently I'm cloth diapering Dinky Aeisyah by using the modern looking CD (cloth diaper). Although not exclusively (macam breastfeeding plak); Huggies at nursery and CDs at home and weekend, but I love using CDs. However, Mr Vediaz is not that keen with CDs usage because he can't stand the poops' smell! All Dinky Aeisyah's CDs are brand new and I bought it at several e-store that are selling these adorable CD. Mind you, the initial cost is quite expensive because its price is ranging from RM60 per piece and even RM120 per piece depending on the brand and the material. But this factor doesn't stop me, hehehe…I always use the same reason why I should buy those CDs, same with the reason that I use when I purchased my breastpump! I can use those CDs again with the next baby, by that time at no cost! Right now, Dinky Aeisyah is still wearing a CD with Medium size. I have CDs with snap and CDs with Velcro tape. Velcro tape is versatile because you can adjust the fitting, tighter or looser, but the Velcro is easier to be taken off. With snap, it depends on how many snaps does a CD have. With a lot snaps, its get complicated to handle but you can adjust the fitting better and vice versa. I have 3 CDs with Velcro snaps which are Bumgenius and Happy Heiny's. I love my Bumgenius a lot but not with Happy Heiny's. I don't like its back opening because it is too revealing. Last weekend, Dinky Aeisyah wore her Happy Heiny's before her morning bath. While I was preparing her tub, she managed to take the Velcro tape off! Her face was all eureka. Sigh! Now, I couldn't wear her with that cow print CD…

Wow, this can be taken off, emmmm.....

Oooppss!

Yaayy! It's now open sesame!

Mothercare Smart Nappy

I got this e-newsletter from Mothercare, introducing their new Smart Nappy system. Very interesting. This smart nappy has a reusable and a disposable system. To me, I would choose the reusable one (of course lah!). Not to mention that the price is quite reasonable. It seems that cloth diapering is integrating into the mainstream. With this new retail product, unlike any cloth diaper that are being sell online, more people could try their hands on cloth diapering. Well, for me, there is no doubt that I'm sticking with my PUL Pocket Diaper. I practically dig Green Acre Design :) and I support WAHM who runs online store that sells these pocket diaper.

My Diaper Stash

I've been cloth diapering Dinky Aeisyah since she was born, not 100% though. I can't remember how I stumble to this CD (Cloth Diaper) thing. At first, Mr Vediaz was so against the idea (hik hik hik). He kept saying that if I do laundry for all the CD diaper, I would use a lot of water and detergent, which is also not so environmentalist! However, I couldn't see myself becoming one of those mommies who are filling our landfills with disposables fill with our baby's poops! I've read about this article saying that, disposables take up around 500 hundreds years to be fully degrade. Maybe 500 years is over exaggerated but in the same context, the degrade thing will take up years. As a Science Teacher, I teach my pupils not to littering, recycling and so on, but how much have I done to our mother Earth. I don't recycle, not yet :) and if I do, no doubt Mr Vediaz will flip big time! So, I chose to use cloth diaper for my Dinky Aeisyah and it it soooo ADDICTIVE! Mr Vediaz has already gives me warning not to spend so much on CD because my stash is enough for two days of laundry. So far my stash is 85% Green Acre Design diaper. I'm so into GAD....what can I say. GAD has so many colours to choose from. Blame it on Sandra (just kidding) for bringing it at her online shop. Next time, I will upload Dinky Aeisyah pics wearing those CD of hers.
