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.

My Birth Experience of Jordan Lu
Finally I have some time to sit down and write this before I forget all the details. On 9 March 2012, at around 4am I awoken to slight contraction, initially I wondered if it was contraction pain at all because I was still in a dreamy mood. Then, after confirming, I quickly woke up and started timing my contractions. I found an app on the iPhone that is free and does the work great (review later). I put my phone to charge and jumped up everytime I get the contraction and initially it was like 7 minutes apart, which is actually quite close. I thought I was gonna give birth…
