Cloth Diapers Part 4

[gulaysk]

^^Thanks sis simang! Dahan dahanin ko na ang pagbili sa CDs. Saang shops pala maganda bumili ng inserts?

Also, kapag bumibili ba better kung a few a pcs lang muna kunin from a certain brand so you get try which one works for baby?

[simang]

^that's what i did sis. few from different brands (alva, quigle bum, babyland, whitesnaps, fluffyd) tapos i tried what works best for us. yung mga di ko gusto, i sell them. so far, i've destashed babyland (except for 1 cover) since hindi ko gusto ang fleece lining nya.

  Yung fluffy pwets na dumating sa akin, mali na nga yung soaker tapos may white border line pa. Ayan tuloy hassle pa for shipping back.

May iba pa bang hybrid fitted na mura? Saka yung pwedeng mag customize ng design aside sa Fluffy pwets?

[simang]

^madami sis. Ito yung mga alam ko, pero di ko pa natry lahat: Odille's, Cyan's Cradle, Bebe Bottom, Fluffy D. Ang alam ko may fb page sila.

Try joining Modern Cloth Nappying Pinays on fb, may list sila dun ng local WAHMs who make their own HF.

[Purple_Power]

^Nasa Pinas kaya sila saka may mga facebook page.

Nakasama na ako sa group na yan. Ill check.

One of my dogs chewed up one of our Cds. Nilipad sa sampayan. Huhu nakakalungkot!
Kelangan ba talaga kumuha ko ng white snaps for presko time? I mean need ba ang presko time cds?

[simang]

^aww that's sad sis!!! Buti isa lang. Sayang ang cd!

Are you using pockets? Kasi if pockets I think, necessary ang presko time. To be honest mas mainit sa bum ang CD na may PUL kesa sa disposable. Kaya for us necessary na may presko time. Pero, hindi necessary ang presko time CD like whitesnaps, you can use lampin naman. I have white snaps, okay sya pag may booster, it lasts for 3 hours or more. Pero madalas, we use chino pino for presko time, dinadagdagan ko lang ng pad folded na lampin inside, and fleece/suede liner para stay-dry pa din kahit papano. Minsan din i use lampin lang tapos palit na lang agad pagkawiwi.

hi mga sis, need your tips/advise
my baby is 1month old today so im planning to use cd na sana, but i dont know paano ang style nyo when cleaning your baby's bum when he poops, kasi as of now im using dd ang i use cotton na binasa sa water in cleaning his bum then i put it in the soiled dd then tapon na, paano style niyo in cleaning?

[simang]

^when my LO was a newborn I use cotton and water as well. I throw away the cotton afterwards (our changing mat may trash bin sa ilalim) then flush off the poopie diaper sa toilet using a bidet. Sometimes I prewash the cloth diaper it for 3 minutes sa washing machine, with little detergent, then sampay. Pag natuyo na, will shoot it sa laundry basket until laundry day. Now we use cloth wipes na, I just spray it with a solution (water, baby wash, a few drops of baby oil) then spray ko lang yung wipe pag gagamitin na.

@simang yes sis, pockets, ang init nga ng pul. I use lampin din pero very seldom ako mag presko time e.... i use dd pa din at night kasi hindi kaya ng mf pag gabi. I tried 2mfs, mf+hemp pero 3-4 hrs lang talaga... pag gabi at naka cd siya, nagigising siya pagpinalitan ko lol i think dahil sa snaps. Sa dd hindi naman siya nagigising pagpinapalitan ko siya haha... ok din bamboo charc samin kaya lang lima lang ganun ko. Hehe ill try aio's pang gabi, nag p.o. Ako so still waiting to know kung effective pang all night.

@eeatrice i still use cotton and water, tap wate nalang gamit ko ngayon,hindi nako nawwarm. Feeling ko mas bet niya yung medyo cold kasi pag punas ko, siya na mismo magtataas ng legs niya tapos tawa tawa pa siya lol! Pero pag oa poop siya or poop explosion, i use wipes na then wash her with soap and water.
Pag nakacd siya, pagwipe ko with cotton balls i discard it sa tissue or sa liner mismo pag nalagyan ko siya ng liner beforehand para after nun, isang bitbitan nalang sa trash bin. Tapos flush off sa toilet with bidet yung poop, then prewash na. Kinakamay ko lang. sampay to air dry, pagtuyo na iipunin na yun til laundry day.

Hi. I am new to modern cloth diapers. I will be ordering online. Medyo nahihirapan lang ako to decide anong type of insert na buy ko, bamboo or charcoal bamboo? I have read they are both absorbent, pero may advantages po ba ang bamboo over bamboo charcoal? Thanks! Also, is 12 diaper pockets enough pag every 2days lang kami naglalaba?

[kgrl04]

hi mga sis, ftm here
anung mas recommended niyo na brand? Alva or Ecopwet 4.0? planning to order online pa lang ngayon eh..  thanks!

^hi simang, 6 months na si baby ko and cotton and water pa rin ang gamit ko. anong material/type ng fabric ginamit mo sa cloth wipes? also, after siya i-wipe ng cloth sprayed with solution, pano mawawala yung soap?

[det060403]

Mommies, anong marreccomend niyo na aio's? Ok ba?

[gulaysk]

Hello again. I'm due next month and after reading feedbacks sa fb groups on CD, I've decided to go with cover type diapers na muna with my newborn para punas lang sa cover at palit ng lampin dahil madalas magwiwi at poop ang newborn.

I'm looking into getting quigle bum, babyland and happy flute na cover type. Will just get total of 5 pcs muna, then 2 dozen of lampin. Ok na kaya ito?

Also, for those who've already tried the cover type of the brands I've mentioned, ano feedback niyo sa kanila?

[simang]

Sis fionaapple, i use flannel for our wipes. Yung sa residue ng soap, i just finish wiping with a damp wipe na water lang.

^sis ok ang babyland cover. I have qb cover kaso di okay fit nya sa newborn kasi makapal yung elastic masyado. Yung babyland malambot lang elastic nya kaya mas better. You might want to invest on more lampin, depende kasi sa output ng baby. Siguro on average gagamit ka ng 1 dozen lampin a day, so kung laundry day dapat may extra. Safe na siguro ang 2-3dozens. Marami namang pwedeng paggamitan ng lampin so sulit naman yan kahit madami.

[gulaysk]

^Thanks for the feedback re QB sis and sa advise na damihan ang lampin.

Sa lampin, which type ang mas preferred mo gamitin, gauze or birdseye?

[simang]

^i only have birdseye, okay naman sya. Sabi nila mas okay ang gauze for cloth diaper kasi mas presko daw tsaka mas madali tanggalan ng stain tapos mas madali din matuyo. But personally wala akong problem with birdseye though. So i guess okay lang both. Hehe

[gulaysk]

^Haha sige will try both na lang din. Thanks, simang!

Hi, mommies! I'm currently 37 weeks pregnant, FTM, and planning to use cloth diapers for our LO. Kaso nakakaoverwhelm, di ko alam san uumpisahan. Dagdagan pa ng andami kong friends plus my MIL discourages me to use CD kasi daw matrabaho especially since working mom ako. I currently have 7 Ecopwet shells + bamboo charcoal inserts, kaso po di ko na alam ano pa kelangan ko idagdag for presko time, overnight use, etc. May recommended po ba kayong brands na must-buy talaga? I tried browsing sa Modern Cloth Nappying Pinays na FB group kaso ayun nga nakakaoverwhelm sa dami ng brands and types of CD plus di ko pa magets yung mga acronyms minsan haha. Thanks in advance po!
