Top 5 Mistakes When Cloth Diapering

The most frequent mistakes made while cloth diapering..

1) Underestimating Stash Size

I cannot stress enough how important stash size is. Whether using sized or one size diapers you MUST have enough diapers to not only last between washings, but also rotate your stash. We recommend enough diapers for 28-36 CHANGES. Any CD system  requires 12 Shells, 24 Soaker pads for full time diapering. Any less than this means excessive wear and tear on your diapers that are being used on a daily basis.

There is not a single other piece of clothing that gets used and washed as much as a cloth diaper, yet we expect them to last through many months or even years of use.

Remember, the less often you have to wash your diapers and covers, the longer they will last. If you choose to diaper with a smaller stash plan on replacing your diapers every 6-9 months. Don't expect one-size diapers (or sized diapers!) to last 2 years if you only have 6-12 in rotation!

 ----------------
My note: Sewaktu pertama kali menggunakan CD, anda perlu menyelang-selikan penggunaan CD dengan lampin pakai buang,sehinggalah jumlah CD anda mencukupi untuk anak anda ber-CD sepenuhnya.

CD juga seperti pakaian anda, jika sedikit jumlahnya, semakin kerap pula dibasuh..tentulah makin cepat lusuh bukan? Anda perlu bijak membuat anggaran penggunaan untuk seminggu, sekurang-kurangnya setiap CD itu hanya di basuh/di ulang guna tidak lebih 2 kali (sebulan sudah 8 kali?)

Lebih banyak CD anda. lebih bagus.Tapi, mulakan koleksi sedikit demi sedikit, lama-lama banyak lah CD! ..(^_^)

2) Extreme Wash Routines

You’ve just invested a large amount of money in your baby’s diaper stash. Protect your investment by caring for them properly. I cannot count the number of customers who have destroyed their stash by “sanitizing” their diapers, washing them in bleach (or other whiteners), or simply not following the care labels on their diapers.

First step is to read the care labels on your diapers, just as you would any of your own clothing. If it says to wash on warm…wash on warm! A recommended hot wash by the manufacturer does NOT mean the “sanitize” cycle on your machine.

Do not put additives in your wash cycles (even the natural ones like vinegar and baking soda). They are unnecessary and can be harmful to both your diapers and your baby’s skin. Lastly, and probably most important USE ENOUGH DETERGENT.

The detergent and agitation of your wash cycle are what cleans your diapers. 1 Teaspoon - 2 tablespoons is simply NOT enough detergent to get your diapers clean. If your diapers smell….use more detergent! Very rarely is “buildup” the reason for smelly diapers.


 ---------------- 
 My note: Saya telah membuat research di banyak website dan article.Pembasuhan menggunakan 'cuka' dan 'soda bikarbonat' adalah jauh lebih selamat daripada bahan kimia dalam sabun pencuci biasa, melainkan anda menggunakan sabun basuh organic /  chemical free. Mungkin, sesetengah kulit bayi adalah sangat sensitif terhadap bahan-bahan ini.

Namun, 'strip washing' (memasukkan cuka & soda bikaebonat) yang disarankan adalah sangat minimun, iaitu 2 bulan - 6 bulan sekali, dan hanya 1/4 cawan kecil soda dan 1/4 cawan  cuka makan. Dan pastikan basuhan anda adalah bersih,sebaiknya 2kali basuhan penuh.

Jika anak anda mengalami 'nappy rashes', mungkin terdapat pembasuhan yang kurang bersih,terperam dalam CD basah lebih 3-4 jam. Atau anak anda alah terhadap kain polyster (microfleece ialah sejenis polyster) yang jarang berlaku. Mungkin anda perlu gunakan cloth diaper yang lapisan dalamnya diperbuat daripada cotton / natural cloth lain.Atau, alaskan dengan nappy liner cotton/bamboo/silk.


3) Not Changing Often Enough
Cloth diapers are wonderful for many reasons. They are eco-friendly, healthy, and cost effective when compared to their disposable counterparts.

Cloth diapers do not contain SAP (super absorbent polymer) gel, which is the component of disposable diapers that make them trim, yet so absorbent.

The average disposable diaper can hold 10 pees before being changed. Whether you use disposables or cloth, your baby should be changed every 2 hours during the day.

This keeps baby’s skin healthy and keeps those rare leaks at bay! When customers ask “How many hours can I leave my baby in your diaper before changing?” the answer is, “As soon as you notice they’re wet!!”.  
---------------- 
 My note:Lebih kerap anda tukar CD anak anda, lebih bagus.Sanggupkah anda memakai pakaian yang telah terkena pee-pee @ poo-poo untuk 4 jam?Tidak bukan? So, kenapa tidak anak anda yang lebih sensitif kulitnya?


4) Washing Once a Week (or less)
The quickest way you may ruin a diaper is to leave it soiled in a closed, dark, warm pail for several days before washing it. This environment is prime breeding grounds for fungi, bacteria, and critters (yes, I’ve even heard maggot stories).  

Treat your diapers as you would your own lingerie. Soiled diapers should be washed every 2 days according to manufacturer’s instructions. If you have stains, hang them in the sun. Mother Nature knows what she’s doing. The sun naturally bleaches out stains, and kills bacteria and yeast. Best of all it doesn’t cost a dime and is chemical free!

5) One Size Does Not Mean…. Lasts Forever, Fits Everyone.

In the past 3-4 years we’ve seen a boom of one size diapers come onto the market. One size diapers have many advantages as they fit a broad size range and can often eliminate the need to buy multiple sizes of diapers. With this have come many unrealistic expectations. One size diapers are often made of the same materials as their sized counterparts. One size diapers are not able to withstand any more wear and laundering than sized diapers.
 
If you diaper full time with a one size system and want them to last until potty learning, buy enough diapers (24-38 minimum). Babies come in different shapes and sizes and not every diaper, one size or not, is guaranteed to fit. Try one or two diapers before investing in an entire stash!

Kisah Bukit Yang Ada 18 Billion Disposible Diaper Dan Mungkin Lebih Lagi

oh oh..kawan-kawan, mommy  and daddy semua...

i had search and search and search for info how bad the disposable cloth diaper will be.
recently, hanis terjumpa this marvellous discovery by national geography documentary...discussing how bad we had harm the earth, ony by using disposable diaper...

ia nampak semudah 'pakai dan buang'
tetapi, ia tentang betapa banyak pengorbanan yang bumi perlu hadapi, untuk membuat disposable diaper.
dan lagi, selepas beberapa jam menggunakan disposable diaper itu, bumi juga kena tanggung bebannya.


3,796 disposable diaper untuk lebih kurang 2 & 1/2  tahun sepanjang penggunaannya sejak bayi, untuk average 4 keping sehari.
itu 'membukitkan' landfill sehingga 18 billion soiled disposable diaper, in US only! tambah dengan seluruh dunia?

Itu baru sehari, kalau 6? 8? 10 keping?
dan, itu untuk avrage 2 & 1/2 tahun penggunaan...kalau extend lagi tempoh penggunaan, sebab anak belum potty trained sepenuhnya?
(-__-")
oh bumi... tangan manusia ini sendiri yang memusnahkan bumi secara tidak langsung?

lepas tu, it 


macam mana kalau kita kira cost pulak..
beribu-riban habis, untuk 'buang' je
the conveniece is there, tapi package dengan 'harmfull' effect too..

oh..oh..
sedihnya encik bumi kita..

image googled at http://webecoist.com/

sungguh, semenjak saya mula ambil tahu pasal alam sekitar, rentetan dari info untuk cloth diaper ini, saya tidak pernah melihat apa-apa dengan konsep 'pakai buang' sama seperti dahulu lagi..

disposable diapers?
now cloth diaper is everywhere, easy to ge `3.
mahal?..buy the affordable one, even a plain square.lampin can be use with cover that use the same material as cloth diaper

saya gunakan kain lampin biasa?
betul!...even me, the cloth diaper reseller still using square lampin too..ada caranya untuk buat ia lebih menyerap lebih banyak basahan, i'll share that later, with pictorial guide..hehe (banyak sungguh hut 

Yup, saya akui...its a matter of individual choice.

plastik for shopping groceries?
i opt for reusable bags!
sungguh, leceh nak usung ke sana kumari, kot-kot tershopping..
tapi sekurang-kurangnya. sedikit usaha itu, Allah lebih berkati, daripada tiada langsung ikhtiar...

pinggan, sudu, paper cup pakai buang?
no need.. saya rela beli stok pinggan banyak-banyak..
kena basuh pun, baaaasuh laaaaa... (^^,)

oh ye, saya tiada pembantu rumah,
saya dan encik hubby saling bantu membantu...hehe

ini ada artikel meanrik tentang 'The Disposable Diapers Myths"
antara point yang diperkatakan;
My comment in purple text

1.  "...the figures used in this study are somewhat outdated. It is even worse today than when this was written over a decade ago."

Jumlah sebenar disposable diapers dalam landfill adalah jauh lebih mneakutkan sekarang, kerana ketika artikel ini dekaluarkan sedekad lalu, ia telah mencecah 18 billion!

oh...sekarang lebih banyak daripada 18billion?  (-___-")

2.  "What started out as a marketer's dream of drier, happier, more comfortable babies has become a solid-waste nightmare of squandered material resources, skyrocketing economics, and a growing health hazard, set against the backdrop of dwindling landfill capacity in a country driven by consumption.

hmm...betullah 'package purchase' every time we buy disposable diapers.

the hidden agenda is scary 


3. And, as many parents know, a child can run through 8,000 to 10,000 diapers before becoming fully toilet trained.

Huhu..8,000 -10,000 diapers for a child?

the number getting bigger


4. "...use of this product in the U.S. alone wastes nearly 100,000 tons of plastic and 800,000 tons of pulp derived from trees."

the harmfull effect since th beginning of the making of disposable diapers 

5. The single-use diaper has gotten a free ride for too long. It is time that parents, health care providers, solid waste managers and public policy makers begin to consider seriously the problems caused by, and the alternatives to, the single-use diaper. It's time for a change! 

we have many option now...act before its too late

Alhamdulillah Setengah Tahun Dah Berlalu

hari ke-2

Dah sebulan...heheheheh baru pandai senyum....

dah 3bulan..masa nie dah blh buat kawan gadoh...

Imran mudah senyum, gelak dan tunjukkan respon yang positif kalau bergurau dengan ayahnyer.... Tengok lah tue menyengih jer....

Nie 5bulan....tengah panas kot tue yang pakai Cd jer tue.... tapi sebenarnya memang habit imran suka macam nie...dia xsuka pakai baju......

Dengan sepupu.....jeles kot ayah dukong orang lain...bising mulut dia marahkan kawan tue...

Hari pertama selepas dicukur...hahahahha payah betul nak cukur kepala imran... Atuk pun surrender.. Sudahnyer ayah dengan ummi lah yang kene habiskan... 2jam jugala memujuk....

Macam tak percaye... Imran dah 6bulan setengah sekarang nie. Lasaknyer tak boleh disangkal lagi. Bila flashback balik rentetan hidup kami selama setengah tahun nie..ermmmmm. Macam2 dugaan dan ujian. Yerla mana ader family yang aman damai bahagia sepanjang hidup betul tak????...

Masa Imran baru lahir aku selalu terpikir..... Bila la imran nak meniarap.. Yerla seronok dengar kawan2 kat ofis bercerita hal anak masing2. Aku orang paling seronok bila dpt tgk imran meniarap...hahahahaha. Yerla sikecil nie kepala angin dah pandai meniarap tapi xapandai nak terbalik semula.. Haaa..mula lah 1 rumah dengar suara dia mengamuk... Sekarang Imran dah masuk walker.... Hadiah dari membe2 kat ofis..

THANKS SEMUA SEBAB HADIAHKAN WALKER UNTUK ANAKKU!!!!

 Mula2 dapat masuk dalam walker, Imran macam kene kejutan budaya lagaknyer.... Masa tue Imran baru 4bulan stgh.. Tapi sebab leher dia dah agak kuat jadi kami sepakat gunakan terus walker nie... Masuk2 jer dia terus gigit semua benda yang tergantung pada walker tue...Dia geram tengok objek berwarna-warni pada walker tue.....Tapi aku paling suke tengok muka imran masa nie sebab dia macam seronok sangat dapat bergerak...Tapi kelakar la pulak..mengundur pula jalannyer...hehehehehe Takpe lah imran jangan mengiring macam ketam sudahla......

Banyak jasa walker nie...mudahla aku nak buat keje rumah. Kalau tak sikecik sorang nie asyik nak berkepit jer...Tak daya pulak aku melayan.

Sekarang Imran da mula nak merangkak. Malam tadi pula dia tak boleh tidur. Menangis jer... Nak tumbuh gigi agaknyer.. Sian imran yer....Sakit gusi rupenyer anak ummi nie... Xpe kejap jer tue nanti bila gigi imran dah tumbuh, makin banyak benda imran boleh kunyah... Sekarang pun imran dah pandai memilih bila soal makan... Akan datang tak payah cakapla.

Macam tak percaya gak rupenyer Dah hampir 7bulan kami TAK PAKAI PAMPERS (LAMPIN PAKAI BUANG) untuk Imran...Puas Hatiku, terasa Duit yang kami laburkan sekali dulu begitu berbaloi. Sampai hari ini Imran terus menggunakan CD. Perbelanjaan kami pun jimat... Aku berterima kasih sangat kepada perintis yang membuat CLOTH DIAPER nie.... Hari ini, esok, lusa dan seterusnyer aku tak perlu risau lagi untuk memikirkan PERUNTUKAN BAJET.....lampin Imran.... KAN MUDAH... BELI SEKALI, PELABURAN SEKALI TAPI KALAU PANDAI JAGA BERGENERASI MAMPU MENGGUNAKANNYA..... heheheheheheheheh CAYALAH Cloth Diaper.....

P/S: Setiap perkara yang kita buat perlukan usaha... Jadi kalau nak jimat lebih usaha pun kene lebih... hehehehehehe.....
