Nowadays, I noticed that with pocket CD+microfiber + hemp is in vain for her . If Pocket CD+Gad microfiber+GAD Hemp sometimes ok, sometimes KO. Cannot last for 8-10 hours compare to previous experience . I think now she consider as heavy wetter ever since she passed 1 year because she started to consume lots of plain water beside BM for her drink.

Why fitted is my choice . Fitted diaper is more absorbent that any pocket diaper as the whole body of the diaper is absorbent. So the reputation of absorbing is proven . and it’s cheaper bit from pocket . But I have to bear in my mind , I have to cover it with Diaper cover (fleece or wool) as fitted not a waterproof material. But I can also get a cheap diapercover available at mall like Pureen,Anakku .

Dear friend, anyone experience using fitted can suggest me which brand is good and worth to buy ??

I may consider getting a Drybees Fleece Pocket Diaper for night time use. I heard that this is also another good CD for night as feel is more breathable compare to PUL

I’m now in the stage of facing the adversity in CD journey. Lately I encounter rashes on Shukrina when she wear C*ola*aby CD. Besides the drop wing issue (agreed by soem other CD mommies), I thick I should change my detergent. Currently I’m using TOP as recommended as one ‘safe’ detergent in CD washing. Before this I use Pureen HAD but seems TOP is cheaper or same price but with larger amount Or I put it terlebih2..I don’t think so as I always be cautious with the amount been used. What I’ve done so far is stripping / Soda,/vinegar/sometimes with hot water and bath my wm with hot water too. But not that consistent la..

But I don’t face any problem with other branded CD especially from US. Very rare to have rashes problem. Does brand matter?

I’m excited when started to wear Shukrina with CD ..but after almost a year…I started to face the obstacle and experienced me with all kinds of “treatment” activity . I am still enjoying CDing Shukrina and never think to quit even is not fulltime CDing.

For newbie to CD, enjoy each of the moment CDing your lil’one. U might happy at initial stage but after sometimes, u may face the difficulty which make u creatively think and react your own baby's good.

Since I became a mother, I have diversified or deviated my interest . everything will be Shukrina related world. One new interest is Cloth Diapering .

I started to wear Shukrina with Cloth Diaper ( CD) when she was 7 months. And I studied about CD when she was 5months. 2 months before I’m taking the decision to explore CD.

Why I like CD very much.

1) Environmetal friendly . U are not adding garbage that contribute to pollution . You are reducing it anyway..

2) Is very natural. No chemical that contact with my baby’s skin (below info copied form one of the blog )

Dioxin, which in various forms has been shown to cause cancer, birth defects, liver damage, and skindiseases, genetic damage, is a by-product of the paper-bleaching process used in manufacturing disposable diapers, and trace quantities may exist in the diapers themselves. Dioxin is listed by the EPA as the most toxic of cancer related chemicals
Tributyl-tin (TBT) - a toxic pollutant known to cause hormonal problems in humans and animals
Sodium polyacrylate -If you have ever seen the gel-like, super absorbent crystals in a disposable than you have seen this first hand. Sodium polyacrylate is the same substance that was removed from tampons because of its link to toxic shock syndrome.

3) Save cost. Long term

4) I like the printed design and color. Sooo cute babe !

5) Challenge myself with one more extra house chore. Actually not much, just add one more laundry per 2 days. Let’s WM do the work !

6) I like every bit and pieces bout CD. The design, the material, the care process and all the jargons in CD world.

I wish I could fulltime CDing but I have to accept the condition where the babysitter (BS ) is not in favor to CDing Shukrina after explanation, trial , pre-line with nappy liner and so on.. she still reluctant (I’ve shared this much in SI, so I’m not gonna repeat here -sedihh L - ). Even I have enough stash for fulltime, am still buying sposies for daytime usage at BS’s house . ( limit 2 per day )

Shukrina routine CD wearing

1) Morning b4 sending her to BS ( I know BS will immediately chg to sposies after I go)

2) Evening bath at BS’s house

3) Night before sleep

3CD’s per day and fulltime CDing ( 5-6 CDs ) during weekend and my off day.

My routine for CD care

1) wash every 2nd or 3^rd day –previous I used HAD, now TOP ( TOP lebih wangi skit ) with half or 1/4 from recommendation

2) stripping every month using SunLite

3) washing my washing machine (WM) every 2 month ( can refer to MiaBambina’s blog on how to take care or your WM

4) wash with Sodium and Distilled Vinegar as and when necessary.

My first CD is KasihkuSayangku (KS). I love the design& color so much… gradually I’m adding my CD inventory with various of brands, local and imported, new and seconds . And the latest CD that I bought was last 2 week also from KS- new design but I sold one to my colleague ( he wanna get his wife to try this ) and 2 more haven’t use ( anyone interest to buy LOL ) . I can’ t hold my finger from clicking to CD e-store and embrace myself tightly from buying it especially in this not so well economic condition time (terbabas jugak beli KS )

Special thanks to Kak Shida & Angie whom I met both of them personally for the guidance on CD and of course other e-store owner/blogger that help me to realize my CD dream …

Note : my wetbag and HH OS left at my MIL’s house . I just miss these 2 items as wetbag very important transportation medium and HH OS is one of my favorite CD.
