another CD reviews

nobody@vox.com(Zoora) — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 10:38:37 +0800

I planned to do this sometime ago... but hasnt got the chance to. so here is some review of the diapers Zahraa recently add.. our stash is enough now.. we are CDing most of the time now.. Zahraa just used 2 sposies (disposables) at her nursery everyday.. the rest.. its all CD....

1. DREAM EZE AIO - Size M

It is very absorbent.. Zahraa never had a rash with this. as it is made from organic material (cotton organic).. It could last till 12 hours. It is very trim too.. and cute colours too!!! The snaps are easy to used. It has sewn 2 piece absorbent material for easy drying but because of this it is a bit difficult to wash, more things to be cleaned. This size wont be long for Zahraa i think.. The gusset sometimes leaves read marks at her thighs if i dont wear it on her properly, or wrong setting.. Zahraa never had a rash with these.

2. BLUEBERRY DELUXE SNAP OS

Blueberry1

Blueberry2

Blueberry3

I just cant resist the colour n pattern..this CD is luxurius in size and the material is great..it always look new. I used hemp, or microfiber insert with it... I love the snap buttons. The crotch size is quite wide. .some might not like this, but it is just ok to us.. serve the same as any other pocket diapers

3. BABY BEEHIND MAGIC ALLS SMOOTH OUTER

BBH1

BBH2

BBH3

I totally love these pocket aio.. it comes together with a bamboo insert, something that could beat other diaper deals. The inner layer (i think its cotton suede) is easy to clean, and it wicks away moisture brilliantly.. sometimes, i thought Zahraa did not pee for the whole night!! I dont really like velcro, but this works great for nursery use. I dont really like the band at the back, and the 'skirty' look at the leg gusset.. but I just close an eye.. because this diaper works too well!!

4. CUSHIE TUSHIE AIO OS

Cushietushie1

Cushietushie2

Cushietushie3

This is the only diaper I dont really care to put on pants or skirt for Zahraa.. because it is so cute enough to cover her bottoms. Yes, it is quite thick, but it unbelievably dries faster than other aio.. the absorbent material is bamboo.. and Zahraa never had rash or redness with it.. the leg gusset are baby friendly, so soft towards baby skin, but good enough to avoid leaks... I love this one too...

it wasnt all that

nobody@vox.com(Zoora) — Sat, 28 Mar 2009 07:37:30 +0800

Yup.. I said its those molars.... but it wasnt all that after all... Yesterday, Zahraa was diagnosed with hand food and mouth disease.. (HFM) It is at early stage, there's only 3 spots, but the caretaker at her nursery spot them early enough for us to diagnos it early and be quarantined. She is not allowed to go to school for 3-7 days, or until the spots become black.. poor my lil girl . . her tantrum is actually caused by body ache :( I am worry about her, and worry about my works.. am at critical stage of two submissions. I had to tkae emergency leave of course, no one else for us to run to now.. :(

I hope Zahraa will get better soon.. for now, she is having mild fever, and lost her appetite to eat, and saliva sometimes drools out. Thats the early symptoms. We have to go to the paed again this monday. Pray for us

welcome molars

nobody@vox.com(Zoora) — Fri, 27 Mar 2009 10:30:07 +0800

Zahraa had difficulties to sleep every night.. and she screamed, cried, and had been cranky for about a week now.. and last night was a totally a night mare for me.. This is the first time we had Zahraa cried all night.. screaming, pushing me away, refuse her bottle, and what more.. and this morning, we had the answer.. she had 2 1st molars coming.. in the upper gums.. it must have been painful.. poor lil girl.. :(( wonder what else should I do to soothe her. baby rip suggested gripe water.. will try that tonight, thanks..

Here' what I found on the net, just to share with u all...

Baby’s First Teeth - Tooth Eruption Patterns

General tooth eruption patterns for babies from birth to age three:

When teeth appear is variable and based on heredity. Some babies teethe earlier, some later. Girls tend to teethe earlier than boys. They usually appear in fours, 2 lower then 2 upper. On average, the first tooth appears at 6 months.

- At about 6 months of age, the lower central incisors (bottom front teeth) generally erupt. These are followed by the upper incisors and both upper and lower lateral incisors.

- By the first birthday, eight incisors are usually present. (4 upper middle & 4 bottom middle)

- At about 15 months of age, the first 4 primary molars (back teeth used for grinding food) erupt. (2 upper and 2 lower)

- Around age 2, the 4 canines are present. (2 upper & 2 lower)

- Around age 2 1/2, the second 4 primary molars erupt. (2 upper & 2 lower)

- By three years of age, all of the primary teeth are generally present.

What to expect while baby is teething

Teeth slowly slide and twist their way through sore gum tissue, which is painful. You know your baby is teething by doing the Gum-Massage Test: run your finger along the edge of the gums, if you feel swollen ridges then they are teething. If the baby will let you, you can look inside and actually see a bulging blue pocket on the gums. Molar teething is the most difficult or when several teeth are coming out at once. Some babies are more susceptible to illness while teething.

- Drooling: which can cause a drool rash on the mouth, drool cough, drool diarrhea, diaper rash, low fever (max 101 F), and irritability.

- Biting: you will notice an increase in biting, on the spoon when you feed him, your hands, and sometimes breast.

- Night waking: Growing teeth don’t rest at night. A previously good sleeper may frequently awaken during peak teething times.

- Refusing to eat: a few babies may refuse to eat solids in this time, and sometimes refuse to nurse too from the pain. Try cold applesauce or frozen fruit slush.

How to soothe the pain

- Can use a cold spoon when feeding solids

- Something to bite on: Popsicle, frozen bagel, refrigerated teething ring, chicken leg bone, teething biscuits, cold washcloth, chamomile tea on a washcloth then put in freezer for 30 minutes.

- Anbesol not recommended because their safety is not assured. Also, the numbing feeling it produces can be just as painful.

- For using Tylenol, you could use it at night before bed for one night or two, but it’s not good to give too much because it uses the liver to work. Homeopathic teething tablets are a safer, natural, and better way.

Brushing

- Dentists now recommend cleaning the gums and teeth when they first appear. Use a gauze wrapped finger every night before bedtime. Make it part of the routine so it becomes a habit.

- By 18 months, they can try to brush their own teeth. Be a good model and show excitement. First let baby play with toothbrush and try to brush the teeth by herself. Then you can hold her hand while she holds the brush and brush them well.

- You don’t need toothpaste until all the teeth come in, then you can use children’s toothpaste. There is non-fluoride toothpaste for infants that are safe to use and swallow.

What to expect in the first dentist visit

- Your child's first dental visit should occur near their first birthday or 6 months after their first tooth erupts. They would see a pediatric dentist.

- You hold your child while the dentist quickly looks at the teeth.

- It is recommended that children see their dentist every six months so they get used to visiting the dentist and any decay can be discovered and treated early. Prevention is the key.
