H1N1

Sana sini semua orang dok cakap pasal H1N1. Every minute and every hour media akan report pasal wabak ni. X kirala mention pasal berapa ramai yang dah dijangkiti atau berapa ramai yang dah meninggal. Memang menyedihkan, menakutkan malah menyakitkan bagi semua orang bila terjadi kes-kes macam ni. Mangsa pulak x kira kecil, besar, tua, muda, sesiapa saja. Bak kata seorang selebriti yang telah diizinkan Allah untuk sembuh daripada jangkitan ni menceritakan keadaan semasa tu "kesakitan yang dialami ibarat anda belah kaki dan letak batu kat dalam. Lepas tu cuba berjalan". Hanya Allah Yang Maha Mengetahui penderitaannya. Tu orang dewasa yang kena. Bayangkan kalau budak2 dan baby. Masya Allah. Aku ingin mengucapkan takziah kepada semua keluarga mangsa. Sabar atas dugaan Tuhan. To those parents yang telah kehilangan baby dan kids, ingat anak2 akan menunggu kita di akhirat di pintu syurga. Cuma kadang2 aku terfikir bila ada wabak camni, setakat mana kesedaran kita untuk membantu sekurang-kurangnya mengurangkan jangkitan dan kematian. Pokok pangkal terpulang kepada kita. Sekiranya kita sendiri mengambil langkah-langkah pencegahan yang telah disarankan, Insyaallah, sedikit sebanyak kita membantu ke arah pengurangan penularan wabak. Tapi biasanya, kesedaran tu wujud bila benda dah terjadi. Kalau x ramai yang sekadar buat endah x endah je. Yela. Peduli apa. Bukan aku yang kena. Sepatutnya kita kena sama2 pikul tanggungjawab pencegahan.

Pihak yang berkenaanpun sepatutnya kena main peranan aktif.Sepatutnya sekarang ni dah x boleh anjur sebarang aktiviti yang melibatkan ramai orang. Salurkan maklumat yang mencukupi seperti hospital dan klinik yang boleh buat saringan dan membekalkan antiviral, wajibkan pemakaian mask dan apa-apa yang patutla. Wabak ni xkan dapat berhenti dengan cepat sebab melibatkan manusia. Kalau macam kes J.E dan selsema burung kita boleh membanteras dengan menghapuskan vektornya. Tapi ni memang susah. Apa yang penting bak kata wonderpets 'kerjasama' semua pihak.

Apa sebenarnya H1N1?Ni aku pastekan maklumat yang aku dapat dari website ni www.cdc.gov

Novel H1N1 Flu (Swine Flu) and You

Novel H1N1 Flu

What is novel H1N1 (swine flu)?

Novel H1N1 (referred to as “swine flu” early on) is a new influenza virus causing illness in people. This new virus was first detected in people in the United States in April 2009. This virus is spreading from person-to-person worldwide, probably in much the same way that regular seasonal influenza viruses spread. On June 11, 2009, the World Health Organization (WHO) signaled that a pandemic of novel H1N1 flu was underway.

Why is novel H1N1 virus sometimes called “swine flu”?
This virus was originally referred to as “swine flu” because laboratory testing showed that many of the genes in this new virus were very similar to influenza viruses that normally occur in pigs (swine) in North America. But further study has shown that this new virus is very different from what normally circulates in North American pigs. It has two genes from flu viruses that normally circulate in pigs in Europe and Asia and bird (avian) genes and human genes. Scientists call this a "quadruple reassortant" virus.

Novel H1N1 Flu in Humans

Are there human infections with novel H1N1 virus in the U.S.?
Yes. Human infections with the new H1N1 virus are ongoing in the United States. Most people who have become ill with this new virus have recovered without requiring medical treatment.
CDC routinely works with states to collect, compile and analyze information about influenza, and has done the same for the new H1N1 virus since the beginning of the outbreak. This information is presented in a weekly report, called FluView.

Is novel H1N1 virus contagious?
CDC has determined that novel H1N1 virus is contagious and is spreading from human to human.

How does novel H1N1 virus spread?
Spread of novel H1N1 virus is thought to occur in the same way that seasonal flu spreads. Flu viruses are spread mainly from person to person through coughing or sneezing by people with influenza. Sometimes people may become infected by touching something – such as a surface or object – with flu viruses on it and then touching their mouth or nose.

What are the signs and symptoms of this virus in people?
The symptoms of novel H1N1 flu virus in people include fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue. A significant number of people who have been infected with this virus also have reported diarrhea and vomiting. Severe illnesses and death has occurred as a result of illness associated with this virus.

How severe is illness associated with novel H1N1 flu virus?
Illness with the new H1N1 virus has ranged from mild to severe. While most people who have been sick have recovered without needing medical treatment, hospitalizations and deaths from infection with this virus have occurred.

In seasonal flu, certain people are at “high risk” of serious complications. This includes people 65 years and older, children younger than five years old, pregnant women, and people of any age with certain chronic medical conditions. About 70 percent of people who have been hospitalized with this novel H1N1 virus have had one or more medical conditions previously recognized as placing people at “high risk” of serious seasonal flu-related complications. This includes pregnancy, diabetes, heart disease, asthma and kidney disease.

One thing that appears to be different from seasonal influenza is that adults older than 64 years do not yet appear to be at increased risk of novel H1N1-related complications thus far. CDC laboratory studies have shown that children and few adults younger than 60 years old do not have existing antibody to novel H1N1 flu virus; however, about one-third of adults older than 60 may have antibodies against this virus. It is unknown how much, if any, protection may be afforded against novel H1N1 flu by any existing antibody.

How does novel H1N1 flu compare to seasonal flu in terms of its severity and infection rates?
With seasonal flu, we know that seasons vary in terms of timing, duration and severity. Seasonal influenza can cause mild to severe illness, and at times can lead to death. Each year, in the United States, on average 36,000 people die from flu-related complications and more than 200,000 people are hospitalized from flu-related causes. Of those hospitalized, 20,000 are children younger than 5 years old. Over 90% of deaths and about 60 percent of hospitalization occur in people older than 65.

When the novel H1N1 outbreak was first detected in mid-April 2009, CDC began working with states to collect, compile and analyze information regarding the novel H1N1 flu outbreak, including the numbers of confirmed and probable cases and the ages of these people. The information analyzed by CDC supports the conclusion that novel H1N1 flu has caused greater disease burden in people younger than 25 years of age than older people. At this time, there are few cases and few deaths reported in people older than 64 years old, which is unusual when compared with seasonal flu. However, pregnancy and other previously recognized high risk medical conditions from seasonal influenza appear to be associated with increased risk of complications from this novel H1N1. These underlying conditions include asthma, diabetes, suppressed immune systems, heart disease, kidney disease, neurocognitive and neuromuscular disorders and pregnancy.

How long can an infected person spread this virus to others?
People infected with seasonal and novel H1N1 flu shed virus and may be able to infect others from 1 day before getting sick to 5 to 7 days after. This can be longer in some people, especially children and people with weakened immune systems and in people infected with the new H1N1 virus.

Prevention & Treatment

What can I do to protect myself from getting sick?
There is no vaccine available right now to protect against novel H1N1 virus. However, a novel H1N1 vaccine is currently in production and may be ready for the public in the fall. As always, a vaccine will be available to protect against seasonal influenza
There are everyday actions that can help prevent the spread of germs that cause respiratory illnesses like influenza.

Take these everyday steps to protect your health:

• Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it.
• Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. Alcohol-based hand cleaners* are also effective.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread this way.
• Try to avoid close contact with sick people.
• If you are sick with flu-like illness, CDC recommends that you stay home for at least 24 hours after your fever is gone except to get medical care or for other necessities. (Your fever should be gone without the use of a fever-reducing medicine.) Keep away from others as much as possible to keep from making others sick.

Other important actions that you can take are:

• Follow public health advice regarding school closures, avoiding crowds and other social distancing measures.
• Be prepared in case you get sick and need to stay home for a week or so; a supply of over-the-counter medicines, alcohol-based hand rubs,* tissues and other related items might could be useful and help avoid the need to make trips out in public while you are sick and contagious

What is the best way to keep from spreading the virus through coughing or sneezing?

If you are sick with flu-like illness, CDC recommends that you stay home for at least 24 hours after your fever is gone except to get medical care or for other necessities. (Your fever should be gone without the use of a fever-reducing medicine.)
Keep away from others as much as possible. Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when coughing or sneezing. Put your used tissue in the waste basket. Then, clean your hands, and do so every time you cough or sneeze.

If I have a family member at home who is sick with novel H1N1 flu, should I go to work?

Employees who are well but who have an ill family member at home with novel H1N1 flu can go to work as usual. These employees should monitor their health every day, and take everyday precautions including washing their hands often with soap and water, especially after they cough or sneeze. Alcohol-based hand cleaners are also effective.* If they become ill, they should notify their supervisor and stay home. Employees who have an underlying medical condition or who are pregnant should call their health care provider for advice, because they might need to receive influenza antiviral drugs to prevent illness. For more information please see General Business and Workplace Guidance for the Prevention of Novel Influenza A (H1N1) Flu in Workers.

What is the best technique for washing my hands to avoid getting the flu?

Washing your hands often will help protect you from germs. Wash with soap and water or clean with alcohol-based hand cleaner*. CDC recommends that when you wash your hands -- with soap and warm water -- that you wash for 15 to 20 seconds. When soap and water are not available, alcohol-based disposable hand wipes or gel sanitizers may be used. You can find them in most supermarkets and drugstores. If using gel, rub your hands until the gel is dry. The gel doesn't need water to work; the alcohol in it kills the germs on your hands.

What should I do if I get sick?

If you live in areas where people have been identified with novel H1N1 flu and become ill with influenza-like symptoms, including fever, body aches, runny or stuffy nose, sore throat, nausea, or vomiting or diarrhea, you should stay home and avoid contact with other people. CDC recommends that you stay home for at least 24 hours after your fever is gone except to get medical care or for other necessities. (Your fever should be gone without the use of a fever-reducing medicine.) Stay away from others as much as possible to keep from making others sick.Staying at home means that you should not leave your home except to seek medical care. This means avoiding normal activities, including work, school, travel, shopping, social events, and public gatherings.

If you have severe illness or you are at high risk for flu complications, contact your health care provider or seek medical care. Your health care provider will determine whether flu testing or treatment is needed.

If you become ill and experience any of the following warning signs, seek emergency medical care.

In children, emergency warning signs that need urgent medical attention include:

• Fast breathing or trouble breathing
• Bluish or gray skin color
• Not drinking enough fluids
• Severe or persistent vomiting
• Not waking up or not interacting
• Being so irritable that the child does not want to be held
• Flu-like symptoms improve but then return with fever and worse cough

In adults, emergency warning signs that need urgent medical attention include:

• Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath
• Pain or pressure in the chest or abdomen
• Sudden dizziness
• Confusion
• Severe or persistent vomiting
• Flu-like symptoms improve but then return with fever and worse cough

Are there medicines to treat novel H1N1 infection?

Yes. CDC recommends the use of oseltamivir or zanamivir for the treatment and/or prevention of infection with novel H1N1 flu virus. Antiviral drugs are prescription medicines (pills, liquid or an inhaled powder) that fight against the flu by keeping flu viruses from reproducing in your body. If you get sick, antiviral drugs can make your illness milder and make you feel better faster. They may also prevent serious flu complications. During the current pandemic, the priority use for influenza antiviral drugs during is to treat severe influenza illness (for example hospitalized patients) and people who are sick who have a condition that places them at high risk for serious flu-related complications.

What is CDC’s recommendation regarding "swine flu parties"?

"Swine flu parties" are gatherings during which people have close contact with a person who has novel H1N1 flu in order to become infected with the virus. The intent of these parties is for a person to become infected with what for many people has been a mild disease, in the hope of having natural immunity novel H1N1 flu virus that might circulate later and cause more severe disease.

CDC does not recommend "swine flu parties" as a way to protect against novel H1N1 flu in the future. While the disease seen in the current novel H1N1 flu outbreak has been mild for many people, it has been severe and even fatal for others. There is no way to predict with certainty what the outcome will be for an individual or, equally important, for others to whom the intentionally infected person may spread the virus.

CDC recommends that people with novel H1N1 flu avoid contact with others as much as possible. If you are sick with flu-like illness, CDC recommends that you stay home for at least 24 hours after your fever is gone except to get medical care or for other necessities. (Your fever should be gone without the use of a fever-reducing medicine.) Stay away from others as much as possible to keep from making others sick.

Contamination & Cleaning

How long can influenza virus remain viable on objects (such as books and doorknobs)?

Studies have shown that influenza virus can survive on environmental surfaces and can infect a person for 2 to 8 hours after being deposited on the surface.

What kills influenza virus?
Influenza virus is destroyed by heat (167-212°F [75-100°C]). In addition, several chemical germicides, including chlorine, hydrogen peroxide, detergents (soap), iodophors (iodine-based antiseptics), and alcohols are effective against human influenza viruses if used in proper concentration for a sufficient length of time. For example, wipes or gels with alcohol in them can be used to clean hands. The gels should be rubbed into hands until they are dry.

*What if soap and water are not available and alcohol-based products are not allowed in my facility?
Though the scientific evidence is not as extensive as that on hand washing and alcohol-based sanitizers, other hand sanitizers that do not contain alcohol may be useful for killing flu germs on hands.

What surfaces are most likely to be sources of contamination?
Germs can be spread when a person touches something that is contaminated with germs and then touches his or her eyes, nose, or mouth. Droplets from a cough or sneeze of an infected person move through the air. Germs can be spread when a person touches respiratory droplets from another person on a surface like a desk, for example, and then touches their own eyes, mouth or nose before washing their hands.

How should waste disposal be handled to prevent the spread of influenza virus?
To prevent the spread of influenza virus, it is recommended that tissues and other disposable items used by an infected person be thrown in the trash. Additionally, persons should wash their hands with soap and water after touching used tissues and similar waste.

What household cleaning should be done to prevent the spread of influenza virus?
To prevent the spread of influenza virus it is important to keep surfaces (especially bedside tables, surfaces in the bathroom, kitchen counters and toys for children) clean by wiping them down with a household disinfectant according to directions on the product label.

How should linens, eating utensils and dishes of persons infected with influenza virus be handled?
Linens, eating utensils, and dishes belonging to those who are sick do not need to be cleaned separately, but importantly these items should not be shared without washing thoroughly first.
Linens (such as bed sheets and towels) should be washed by using household laundry soap and tumbled dry on a hot setting. Individuals should avoid “hugging” laundry prior to washing it to prevent contaminating themselves. Individuals should wash their hands with soap and water or alcohol-based hand rub immediately after handling dirty laundry.

Eating utensils should be washed either in a dishwasher or by hand with water and soap.

Exposures Not Thought to Spread Novel H1N1 Flu

Can I get infected with novel H1N1 virus from eating or preparing pork?

No. Novel H1N1 viruses are not spread by food. You cannot get infected with novel HIN1 virus from eating pork or pork products. Eating properly handled and cooked pork products is safe.

Is there a risk from drinking water?
Tap water that has been treated by conventional disinfection processes does not likely pose a risk for transmission of influenza viruses. Current drinking water treatment regulations provide a high degree of protection from viruses. No research has been completed on the susceptibility of novel H1N1 flu virus to conventional drinking water treatment processes. However, recent studies have demonstrated that free chlorine levels typically used in drinking water treatment are adequate to inactivate highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza. It is likely that other influenza viruses such as novel H1N1 would also be similarly inactivated by chlorination. To date, there have been no documented human cases of influenza caused by exposure to influenza-contaminated drinking water.

Can novel H1N1 flu virus be spread through water in swimming pools, spas, water parks, interactive fountains, and other treated recreational water venues?
Influenza viruses infect the human upper respiratory tract. There has never been a documented case of influenza virus infection associated with water exposure. Recreational water that has been treated at CDC recommended disinfectant levels does not likely pose a risk for transmission of influenza viruses. No research has been completed on the susceptibility of novel H1N1 influenza virus to chlorine and other disinfectants used in swimming pools, spas, water parks, interactive fountains, and other treated recreational venues. However, recent studies have demonstrated that free chlorine levels recommended by CDC (1–3 parts per million [ppm or mg/L] for pools and 2–5 ppm for spas) are adequate to disinfect avian influenza A (H5N1) virus. It is likely that other influenza viruses such as novel H1N1 virus would also be similarly disinfected by chlorine.

Can novel H1N1 influenza virus be spread at recreational water venues outside of the water?

Yes, recreational water venues are no different than any other group setting. The spread of this novel H1N1 flu is thought to be happening in the same way that seasonal flu spreads. Flu viruses are spread mainly from person to person through coughing or sneezing of people with influenza. Sometimes people may become infected by touching something with flu viruses on it and then touching their mouth or nose.

Doa

Cuma nak kongsi beberapa doa yang diemail oleh one of my friends. Semoga memberi manfaat dan kebaikan kepada kita semua.

Jam Part II

Mr. Hubby sabar je drive

Ok. Sekarang aku nak sambung tentang ketakpuasan hatian masalah jam ni. Kalau yang 1st part aku cite masalah kat Putrajaya then kali ni pasal jam kat hiway PLUS. Kadang2 x terjangkau dek akal fikiran kat hiway boleh jem teruk. Kalau kita bercakap tentang ni 5-10 tahun dulu mesti kena tempelak balik kata benda tu mustahil atau mengarut. Tapi sekarang ni dah jadi macam 'makanan ruji' to those yang always travel guna PLUS. Before that, Aku cuma nak share my experience back to 2004 if I'm not mistaken. Masa tu x ingat cuti apa tapi me and sis (masa ni solo lagi) planed to go to Nilai 3. Apa lagi shoppingla. But the thing is, we plan on the wrong time to go to the right place (hehehe..walaupun tujuan nak gi habiskan duit yang memang cepat habis). Bila sampai je kat Tol Sg. Besi, traffic dah macam kura2.Ntah2 kura2 lagi laju. Masa tu ingat may be ok kot. So, finally we decided ikut jalan lama yang lalu ikut Kajang towards Semenyih. Tapi keputusan tu x membantupun. Kat c2 sama gak. Nasibla nak ke Nilai. Kalau nak pegi sampai Seremban dan seterusnya, memang muakla.

Si kembar dah pengsan

Tu tahun 2004, sekarang rasanya lagi teruk. Even weekend yang cuti x panjangpun sama jugak. Kalau cuti yang panjang + school holiday lagila teruk. My sis in law pernah experienced from Malacca around 5 p.m then arrived kl around 12 p.m. Just imagine biasanya kalau Melaka - KL it takes paling tidak 2 hours. Kalau camtu punya perjalanan dah boleh sampai Terengganu. Walaupun dah besarkan jalan jadi 3 lane, never solve the problem. Bila difikirkan terdetik gak dihati, maybe masa mula2 plan untuk buat hiway, they never think about the future. Every month, penggunaan bertambah sebab orang semakin ramai guna kereta. This is a never ending story, and getting worse day by day.

Pemandangan biasa kat Putrajaya time nak balik

Jam

When u see the title, u will imagine that this is about food or maybe today I'm gonna give u the recipe on how to make 'handmade jam'. Actually, this is about traffic jam. Common problem for the big cities like KL, Penang, JB. But now, it's a 'common' problem to those who work and stay in or nearby a so called well plan city, Putrajaya, Pusat Pentadbiran Kerajaan Persekutuan. When I got the transfer order in 2006, it's such a release for me becoz could avoid the bad traffic once u enter KL. From my place in Kajang to Putrajaya normally took 15-20 minutes only.

But starting fasting month in 2008, it's getting worse until now. First week of fasting month, I have to wait about 30-45 minutes just to get out from parking area. Once arrived at the 'main road' before Serdang Hospital, i was stucked there. Reached at home around 6.30. Kelam kabutla to buy foods, picked my kids at babysitter's house. So, for this year if everybody (I mean the one who resposible for this) still act like 'NATO', I feel like taking leave for the whole fasting month. Boleh ke camtu?

Actually, from my observation, all of this happened becoz we don't have enough space to park (for those who are not entitle to get one). So, everybody just simply park ikut suka hati. Kesannya, if u have any emergency especially kebakaran, kereta bomba x boleh lepas becoz kereta parking di kiri kanan jalan. I didn't blame anyone, but sometimes, bila nak keluar dari parking memang mengamuk gakla. Mana taknya, kereta letak kat laluan keluar. Macamana nak jalan. So, if ur car got scratches here and there, boleh urut dada jela. Stop dulu. Nanti sambung.

Transformasi anak-anakku

On 11th March 2006, my twin was born. Then, on 14th Mei 2008, si kenit pulak keluar. Last weekend, I realised that they are 'growing'. Of coursela kan. Takkan makin mengecil. But, thank god I'm still here, able to see every changes, every moves, every steps that they made. kalau kembar, dari zaman hisap puting dengan bantal busyuk, then walking, pandai naik motor yang battery operated and now started to say goodbye to diapers. Even, masing-masing learn to eat, wearing shirt and bath by themselves. Nurin lak dari zaman diapers (masih lagipun), breastfeed (alhamdullillah until now) then walking. Now, mulut dah bising, makan dah macam orang tua walaupun gigi maintain 4 batang (lambat betul nak tumbuh yang lain tapi jalan cepat) dan dah pandai gaduh ngan twin. Pening kepala kalau dia orang start gaduh. Even, kalau tak dapat apa dia nak, dia akan tunjuk aksi shuffle sambil baring. Hehehe... hempaskan badanla.

Bila ingat semua tu, memang aku boleh senyum sorang. Tapi tula memori dan kenangan yang terindah yang aku akan simpan dan lipat kemas2 dalam diri. Semua tu amat berharga dan tak ternilai. Diri kitapun makin lama makin tua. Satu hari nanti bila anak-anak aku dah bawa diri masing-masing (yela takkan selamanya diaorang nak duk bawah ketiak aku) itula ubat yang terbaik. Cuma, aku selalu doa, anak-anakku membesar menjadi anak yang soleh dan solehah dengan didikan dan kasih sayang yang secukupnya dari aku dan hubby. Insyaallah, if kita sebagai parents sentiasa dekatkan diri dan mesra dengan anak-anak, mereka akan memberikan yang sama sebagaimana yang yang dia orang dah dapat. Bukan mengharapkan balasan, tetapi harapan kita sebagai parents agar ikatan kekeluargaan tetap utuh dan kasih sayang antara kami tetap mekar.

Twin:

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.
