Cloth diapers

I am doing more research on cloth diapers. Thanks to Faye and her sister, Dena for introducing me to cloth diaper and of course before that, Eric keep on mentioning about it.

I read Dena's blog and managed to get few shopping sites for clothing diapers. My favourite one is this MiaBambina. You can get a lot of info on cloth diapers from their website. The other day, Eric and I went to this place called The Baby Loft at Desa Parkcity. They have a lot of baby's stuff but I just wanted to check out the cloth diapers. I ended up buying one cloth diaper and two inserts only. Obviously it is not enough but I just want to see how does it work actually. The one I bought was from Bumwear, one size diaper which can be used until your baby turn 2-3 years old.

Last week, while I was waiting to see my customer at one of the hospitals, I came across this leaflet on cloth diapers. It's from Baby Sasha N Mom.Good job on leaving those leaflets over there actually. I brought back one of the leaflets and checked out their website. Brenda, (did I get your name right?) you should do that in every private hospitals, leave the leaflets especially in front of O & Gs' and paeditricians' clinics.

So back to cloth diapers, I am still trying to understand more on how to use it, how to wash it, the benefits and the cost involved.

In a nutshell, if you use cloth diapers for your baby;

1. YOU ARE BEING ENVIRONMENTAL FRIENDLY!

2. Cloth diapers are healthier for your baby. Disposable diapers has been shown to contain synthetic chemicals which some can cause cancer and other diseases.

3. Using cloth diapers is cheaper.

From MiaBambina:
Cloth diapers (3 years) ~ RM 1200-1800
Disposable diapers (3 years) ~ RM 3500-4000

From Baby Sasha N Mom:
Cloth diapers (3 years) ~ RM 1020
Disposable diapers (3 years) ~ RM 3844.80

This calculation is for one baby. If you decide to have more than one baby, the savings you can have is just remarkable..(cloth diapers can last for one or more successive children).

4. Finally, cloth diapers are just so cute and adorable. This is the one I bought from The Baby Loft :). It look simple but still so adorable right? So much better and different from our 'lampin' from the old days.
Enough said about cloth diapers, I should go ahead and buy more of those cloth diapers.
