Cloth Diaper Review Part IV

5)Baby Beehinds Bamboo Fitted Diaper

Description : This is another one of my favourite fitted diaper. This fitted comes with 2 boosters which are one short and one long with snaps to allow flexibility of absorbency

Material : Made from 10% polyester (for fluff retention) / 60% bamboo (for absorbency) and 30% organic cotton fleece (for absorbency and quicker drying time)
Absorbency: Excellent absorbency! I think its best use for heavy wetter and throughout for night time usage. Although, it requires a cover, but sometimes i did not use it. This is because my baby only drink one time of milk before going to bed till the next morning, thus the urine is not so much. So, the next morning the diaper is still dry. Compared to last time, one disposable every night, but the urine is so little, i think is a wastage and creating more trash to the Mother Nature
Drying time : Takes longer time to dry if the day has less sunlight. Even if the day is hot and i did not put direct under the sunlight, it may not dry up fully. If it's raining day, definetely i m out of fitted, so have to replace with Pocket Diaper.
Fit : Fitting is excellent, snugly perfectly on baby's bum
Wash & Care : The same which i just dump in all my diaper in the washing machine and let it does the work
Prints : It has a few dyed colors but so sad, i think they have discontinued the colors, therefore i only managed to get the natural color. Also, i love the cute bee, especially the bee behind the diaper..perfectly named as Baby Beehinds...winks***

Ratings : 5/5. It deserved my full ratings since this diaper has fullfilled all my needs, the best it is also one size diaper.

Just a friendly reminder again, the review is solely based on my own experince and also personal opinion and i do not get paid for the post,ya.

Type of Cloth Diapers

When i was at the bazaar, some moms were scratching on the head when i told them there are many type of cloth diapers available in the markets, it is depending on what is their type of preference. But some moms are very smart, they did some research first before coming to meet me. They came to feel and see what is the different between fitted, pocket and All in ONE because they told me it's very hard to figure out how it looks like by just doing their readings and pics posted on the Net till they actually got to see and feel it on their hand. Luckily i have those 3 types..winks***For All in Two, i do not have it to show them because it is not in my preference list =)

Ok, these are some common type of cloth diapers that you may come across while you are doing reading on cloth diapers.

Fitted Diapers
To make it simple, the whole diaper itself is made of soaker, meaning the whole diaper absorb baby's urine, that is why making it a choice for night time heavy wetter. Fitted is trim, fit and snug with a contoured shape and gathered edges around the legs, making it prefectly snuggle on baby bum. Instead of tape, it secures with either a aplix (aka velcro) or snaps. Fitted comes with a variety of materials, but some popular choices are hemp, bamboo, sherpa and velour. Bear in mind, fitted is not water proof, therefore you need a cover (water proof layer of cover), but if me and baby are at home, i may not want to add on the cover since fitted is super breathable!!

Check out how fitted looks like....FITTED

Pocket Diaper
Right, cloth diaper that has a pocket!..Pretty straight foward,ya. What do we do with the pocket diaper? Easy, you need to stuff inserts in it because the inserts will act as the soaker, meaning the inserts are the one absorbing baby's urine. Moms tend to ask how long it can last or how much urine it can hold. Depending on the type of inserts you are using. Microfiber can lasts bout 2-3 hours. (that's my experince in using on my baby). If hemp or bamboo inserts are used, definetely it can hold more and last longer. A mom popped up this question to me, if i used that brand of Pocket Diaper, i have to use back the insert which is the same brand of my pocket diaper, is it? My answer is NO! I always opt for various mixture of inserts and different brand as well, as long as i think it works out to be a good diapering system. Even, at times if i m out of inserts, i simply stuff in with lampin kain. (prefold cloth nappy). So, moms always can be creative to work out your own diapering system.

Check out POCKET DIAPER

ALL IN ONE Diaper (AIO)
Not much different from pocket diaper except the insert is sewn in the diaper. It is convenient to use especially during outing time whereby you need a quick change, since it mimics the disposable diaper except you don't dispose it. AIO takes longer time to dry and harder to clean effectively since the insert is sewn in the diaper which dont allow you to remove it unliked the pocket diaper, but after all, that's why we called it AIO =)

This is how AIO looks liked and you can see the insert is sewn in. This diaper also allow you to stuff in insert in it if baby needs extra booster as you can see there is an opening liked a pocket diaper.Anyway, i m letting off this Magic ALL - AIO by BBH for the price of RM50 since it is an extra and unused when i bought a value pack. This is a brand NEW one and the size is L.
-SOLD TO N.A.

How Many Cloth Diapers Will I need?

Yes, that is the common question we will ask. I will say depending on your budget and experince with cloth diapers. For me, i did considered on budget first because many moms will think to start with cloth diapers seem to be a bit costly. Yes, i agreed with that, but in long term usage, it is definetely worth a single penny you have spent. You may consider buying a few at a time and then add on to your stash as your baby grows and you will be able to determine which type of cloth diapering system best works for your baby. Also, you may consider whether to invest one size diaper or with sizes. If you plan to have more kids in future, getting one size will save up more since it can pass down to the younger one.

Some of the guidelines you may refer to on how many diapers u will need..
Newborns
We know newborns typically go through many changes in day, what's more if baby is on breast fed. They may go through about 10-12 diaper changes every day. It is recommend to have 20-30 diapers on stash. If you opt for fitted or prefold, you may need 6-8 covers. But take note, you dont need to change the diaper cover with each diaper change, unless it gets soiled or dirt. If you prefer Pocket or ALL in One diapers, almost the same quantity needs for your stash and also supply on inserts. With this, it allow you to go for a quick changing.

Infants (3-9 months)
Infants may go through about 9-10 diapers per day. You may plan on having about 20-25diapers in the appropriate size range on hand. I always prefer to go for a mixture of fitted, pocket and ALL-IN-ONE.

Older Infants (9+ months)
While, older infants may buse about 8-9 diapers per day. 16-18 diapers, think is sufficient enough. Again, i will go for a mixture of different type of diapers.

Some of the tips to share

Last week, i went for a cloth diapering workshop to get more information and learn more on cloth diapers. Just a quick share of what i can recalled back.

What is the solution to repelling diaper?
- Recommended to use a few drop of safe dishwasher and rub on the cloth diaper and wash it thoroughly in order to remove the residue especially if we mistaken put nappy cream which is not suitable to use on cloth diaper. These residue will tend to stick on it and make your diaper to repell.

How to wash and clean the diaper when baby's poo especially breastfed poo?
- Very Easy. Like how i water my plant. We use a hose/tube connected to a tab. Hold the end of the tube/hose, then shoot the water that is coming out from the tube directly to the poo which is on the diaper, then the poo will tend to bounce out. This is very effective way without leaving stains on it. Dont rub it with your hands if u think it's the best way to remove the poo, in fact you are just rubbing the poo on the diaper leaving the stubborn stain on it. Poo will actually leave some stain on your microfiber but not on the cloth diaper, so if u are very uneasy with the stain after your washing, what do you do the next time is...Pour some washing powder on the fiber and rub it on the stain, then roll up your fiber and leave it for an hour, then come back and wash it. It should clean away the stain.

Do we need to soak the diaper?
Depends on some mothers. Liked me, i used to soak the diaper in the pail with water, then come back and rinse again, and soak in again. But what i have learned from the workshop, it isnt a need, but still up to mother's preference. If you tend to soak the diaper in the water, the smell of the urine tend to spread to your whole bathroom, which i think it's pretty true because the urine has come out and mixed with the water. Even my mom was complaining it.More over i think it caused more on water wastage. So, i no longer soak in the pail with water, in fact i just dump in the dry pail and collect the whole day of the diaper laundy. After a day of collection, just dump in everything into the washing machine for full wash. Worry about the urine? According to the speaker, she has talked to a few non-biological professor, they said baby urine is non-toxic. I think is pretty true, cos we only feed baby on milk, water and till they move to solid, we know what exactly they consume.

** If i recall back more, will update again.
