Diapering A Newborn - part 1

when DS was small, we used disposables. at that time, i did not know that modern cloth diapers existed. so we used pureen high 5 , i was excited with the stripe prints and the claim that it can absorb 5 wettings.

but it leaked, many times. and i had blow outs. so we hunted for the ultimate disposable diapers.
pureen economy- leaks
fitti, petpet- leaks
mamypoko- too pricey

in the end, we used drypers for a few years. but drypers tend to leave abrasions on DS thigh. plus starting last year, they shot up in price. i remembered rushing to giant hypermarket in IPOH, just to get the discounted price for dispos !!! (they set limited time , like 8 pm till 10 pm- so we waited in Ipoh the whole day, at 8 pm rushed inside with another 100 parents and grabbed the diapers off the shelves till the shelves were empty!)

then i found cloth diapers and started DS on them.

for DD however, it was a different story. right after delivery, we used mamypoko newborn given by my sister, which is good , because we were at the hospital, who would want to wash the diapers? plus she was pooing and peeing hourly, we finished the 52 pieces in 4 days!


it was so big on DD, yet we use it anyway ;D

then when we got home, i was so eager to try the stash of pocket diapers. sadly, they all leak because she was still too tiny! so mummies out there, though the one size pocket diapers says can fit newborn, take my word, they dont, unless if you have a big baby, ..maybe. i have lunatots, crazy momy mostly in my stash. bumgenius? oh lagilah tak muat...

the only pocket diaper that fits though was rumparooz G2. a bit bulky, but it fits and no leaks! the downside is, it is a bit pricey.


Rumparooz G2
so i continued to hunt for the ultimate cloth diapers. we used lampins with covers as well, but it leaves red marks on eva's butt, so i dont like it. i bought rocky mountain diapers, supposedly can fit newborn because of their adjustable leg elastics. true, they dont leak at the legs, they leak at the back!

then we went back to hometown for hari raya, so we just used disposables again, for ease of travelling. when we got back home , i bought grobaby CD and myeconappy...
