Baby clothes and cloth diaper laundering system
So we’ve previously talked about my cloth diapering system, but what about how to wash them? Most new mums or would be mums that I talk to about cloth diapering are scared off about the laundering part of it. It just seemed overwhelming, but it really is not if you follow my system. This is how I do it, and it’s no harder than washing your clothes like normal. What you need: 1) Some pails at least 2 2) Cloth diaper safe detergent – I use Kiddiewash from Cosway 3) Washing machine 4) Hose in your toilet 5) Laundry nets I wash my diapers daily, but it can be done…

Full Moon for Jordan
Jordan Lu’s full moon came in a jiffy, how fast time flies eh. Last Sunday, which happened to be Easter, we had a ‘makan-makan’ time for some friends to celebrate his turning a month old. Our little house was filled to the brim! Compared to giving out full moon sets, we always prefer opening our house to people, there’s no better time to intro our little boy to the world and bring on the noise, joy, prayers and fellowship of the saints. Mandy decided to extend her stay so she can join Full Moon party. How nice to have someone help me hold Jordan for a while so I can…

Jordan still looked yellow then so we took him for a blood test at the emergency ward of Hospital Kajang on his 16th day. After the blood test, his bilirubin level was at 11.4 which is still above 10. So I was put on the wheel chair for the 2nd time and pushed all the way to SCN, where we were warded for phototherapy earlier. At SCN, Jordan’s blood was again taken from his hand, (which already has many holes) and they also required…

Cloth Diapering A New Born
So after nearly 2 weeks with my newborn, I can safely review which cloth diaper actually really really works with a new born. I started cloth diapering Jordan only when his poop change to the breastfed baby poo, mustard watery type. Using it with green or myconium would be possible, but much to much trouble. Also, I targeted for his cord to come off before cloth diapering as the diapers are big and will cover his belly button, hence not allowing the area to dry as fast. I am so glad that he doesn’t have to use his terrible plasticky disposables anymore. Yea to no diaper rash. Here’s what I’m…
