Cloth diapers

Hmmm.....kenapa agaknya aku pilih tajuk ni. Ni nak cerita sikit pasal penjagaan anak2. When my twin was born, almost everyday during confinement I feel so much pressure in terms of daycare (working timela), their 'maintainance' (napkins, milk etc). All of this gave me headache. Thank god aku x sampai level 'meroyan'. Furthermore, I just knew that it was twin pregnancy, a day before they came out (Almaklumla caesar). Can u imagine when the doctor do the scanning, suddenly she told me to look at the screen and clearly showed there are two bodies inside me. Then, she told me it was twin. When the doctor ask about my feeling, I just like mmm...ok. No feeling at all. It's not becoz I'm not happy, but shocked.

But, god knows what is the best for you. Every child has its own fortune. Nak dijadikan cerita, the twin having problem with cow milk or allergy to cow milk's protein. So they always got flu, even mild eczema and bloated. So, the doctor suggested to go for soy based milk. Basically, for twin they were prone to have all this problem plus I only managed to BF for 3 months (but not all, maybe tu dugaan tuhan pada aku). The price for 900grams soy milk roughly about RM55-60. So, for twin baby boy, u need at least 2 cans per week. So, can u imagine the cost almost RM500 per month. Only for the milk. But, luckily I found one soy based product (milk) from one MLM company that offer high quality product with affordable price. Thank god again for helping me.

At the same time, my twin also very sensitive to certain type of diapers. During confinement I just used the very cheap one becoz they tend to poo poo almost 7-8 times per day. When I made the calculation, I used almost 1500 pieces of diapers for 2 months. But, the problems came. They got the very bad rashes around nappy area. So, for two days have to berlenggengla. So, we decided to go for pampers and after that change to drypers. But, both of the brands left black mark around thigh area (the part that contact with the hook and loop closure / snaps). So, finally we choose huggies until now. I hope it won't be too long becoz the twin now in 'paradigm shift' process. Hehehe... potty trainla. Now, malam jela.

Wah...wah...wah. Dah panjang bercerita tapi still tak touch on cloth diapers yet. I've heard about this for quite sometimes. But, not really into it or in other words sayang duit to invest for that. Yela, paling murah dalam RM50. If u wanna used it, for baby basically u need 5-6 pieces per day. So, paling tidak u must have 12 pieces in hand. But, since nurin having same problem with her brothers, apa lagi rashes so I start to explore it again. Actually, nurin's problem worse than the twin becoz it just heal when u put some medication around that area. But, it will happen again. So, I have to find other alternatives. Kesian tengok. And last week I bought 3 pieces with the cost RM310. But, I think it's worth it becoz it is reusable, long time usage and save the cost. Konsepnya sama macam lampin kain yang mak kita guna dulu2 tapi telah dipermodenkan untuk memudahkan penggunaan. There are many types, many brands even we have the local one that offer good quality with affordable price. To know more about cloth dipers u can read from this blog - babyznmombm.blogspot.com. A lot of very useful info especially for those who have zero knowledge about cloth diapers.

Now, this is mine. Very cute when u put this on ur little one.
