We dont get her flashy toys this year!!! But we did change her into cloth diapering, and I think its a great birthday present. I had a great experience, while zahraa gets all the benefits of not being wrapped in chemical, and zahrein could save on the disposables!! yeah.. everybody happy!!!! We just started, for a week. Zahraa will be using disposables at the nursery only.. There are thousands of articles wrote on the benefits of cloth diapering, so I think I'll skip that.. Just few added point to share with newbies...

1. There are different types on fabric for the inner layer - be noticed

2. There are 2 main closure type, velcro or aplix, snaps and side snap

3. There are so many types of inserts.. to make things simple, Microfiber is easier to dry, hemp is thinner and absorb more, combo is superb

4. Sensitive skin babies might need to try on different stuff, organic material, or fitted types

 

My no 1 favorite at the moment, Monkey Doodle Micro AIO. It is so easy to use, the making of it is so neat. It fits well, many says it takes time to dry.. but everytime i came back from office, its already dried up (lined in the morning)

 

 

Also my favorite, because of the material.. so soft so yummy.. but it is smaller built. Zahraa had to wear large size. I love the side snaps.. so nothing is being busy under belly..

 

 

This is coolababy, a cheap brand made in China.. but i think it did quite well too.. material is almost like baby kangas. But the snaps and button are busy down there.. can u see what i mean?? Imagine baby kangas, with the addition of the zip as well....thats why i didnt take any pic of baby kangas. But in a way, baby kanga is good too.. good material, and bigger slot to pun in insert

Till hen, this is all I have now.. and very happy with them..

What cloth diaper ??? errrr.. no.. thanks... thank was my respond to it months ago.. knowing that it's totally cost saving, having an easier life was more preferred... 

At last I changed to BPA Free bottles (erghh but those Avent bottles are still in the rack-not letting it go, yet) I have now change to Avent Magic Cup (the only BPA Free available in Penang _ Bayan Baru to be exact), Nuby and also MAM. MAM bottles are cute!! There are different range, I dont even notice it actually, just new about it yesterday. But i bought that striking pink one. heheeh cute I think.. (blue has been taken by Zahraa's cousin)  But Nuby has a great advantage. It is not that expensive, its anti colic, its bpa free, its non drip - meaning, even you shake the bottle, no milk would be dripping. The nipple was made so that the milk flow follow the baby's sucking motion, stronger sucking, faster flow. So, if baby fall asleep with bottle in mouth, no milk will pool in baby mouth or choke. But for now, I'm still testing it...just been using it for.. errmm two weeks.. will write the review later, again.. maybe after a month. 

I had a new pouch sling 2 weeks ago. Yeah, I know, first impression I look like bibik, I know what you're gonna say. But whatever it is, it does make my daily routine easier. carrying her down to the car, stroll in marketplace, shop at pasar ramadhan, bring her to astaka for breakfast and even sooth her in the house while doing house work. Beside all the positive reason of using it, it is also fun!!! There's a group of malaysian baby wearers actually. It is a growing group I think, and they are now doing a great job to promote baby wearing. In Penang they have frequent gathering at Kompleks Masyarakat Penyayang every 2nd Saturday.
