Those from taobao which 1 set covrr + 2 inserts =around $6 sgd works the same.

N durable too.

I had used for my 2 kids.

Then #2 use until 2 yr old.

N still got lots of "life" left when i sold it to another mummy :)


My friend also used for 3 kids...

Coz cloth diapers u will need lots of set to wash n dry...

Thanks for the info! Then if I find the cloth diapers useful I will buy the rest fr taobao, hee. But moomookow the lady in charge v friendly and v nice, offer lotsa advice too, so ok lah, support local industry this time. I heard that moomookow was started by a local mum some years back. :)

Ps used diapers still got pp wanna buy? That's pretty amazing..

dun buy coolababy... my friend bought a big batch end up all throw away coz it leaks!

babyland is good for me ... if buy from taobao, dun buy the cheapest "babyland" hehe might not be good.... mid range "baby land" should be better in quality

u can check out this mummy's review http://www.mummysreviews.com/category/diapering/cloth-diapers/ i learnt alot from her


if u confirm u going to use cloth diaper for long time (at least until 1 yr old?? hehe )
then u can consider upgrade to this insert http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z09.2.9.162.wXycse&id=9754156575&_u=q2gugt89162 more absorbent.
those inserts that comes with the cloth diaper are only MICROFIBRE, when the pee volume increase, u will have to use 2 instead of 1.... but this insert i recommend is more absorbent (BAMBOO FIBRE)
if u go see those branded cloth diapers website, they also sell it seperately. those in the Package are only microfibre



http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z10.5.w4002-1515416555.65.0Ks1W2&id=16170217074 (round flap)

http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z10.5.w4002-1515416555.47.0Ks1W2&id=15516473019 (rect flap)


try dun buy the round flap ones, dun last too long, coz it seems "shorter in waist" to me .i would prefer the rect flap type



u need at least 20 sets i think... i had more than that coz i dun need to rush/worry abt washing and drying
 
Do anyone have a growth scan before? As doctor suggested my baby to have this test on next schedule at week 30th

used diapers got ppl buy .. got resale value... hehe so if u buy those in taobao, maybe needy mummies??

i used for 2 child and still got lots of "life" then i sold around 40-50 sets of cloth diaper for more then sgd $50 haha ... with the Bamboo fibre insert ...

juz dun wan waste the cloth diaper also...


u need more diaper liner??? i have to pass u, not in original packing already in ziplock bags, if u need pm me :)

if u buy in sg, buy annakku brand. u can find alot in the SMH buy/ sell forum, coz alot ppl have spares
DUN buy pigeon brand, not lasting


and also diaper liner can reuse also ... if no poo juz throw into washing machine wash together .... annakku is more lasting followed by tollyjoy.

I bought the Gerbers onesies 0-3mths.....looks very small esp since newborn has the umbilical cord plus wear diapers already maybe too tight ...regret buying.
Click to expand...
actually if u go compare
0-3mths and 3-6mths the difference is in length (around 2cm) and not much in width (less than 1cm)...

so i would alwasys recommend 3-6mths as longer lasting one :) coz baby wear diapers and when its full of pee its very tight on baby

What is a growth scan? What do they do? Is it a detailed scan like at 20 weeks? My gynae didn't mention anything abt this..

growth scan similiar to detailed scan just a different term... usually gynae u/s machine very poor quality... I did a fetal growth scan at 17wks before my detailed scan at 21w...they check similar things
 
hello hello! long time never log in.. finally read every single thread. Phew.. so happening this thread!

I'm 24 weeks now, expecting a baby girl (yay team pink!)
and if i've read this earlier, i wouldn't have bought Carter's newborn size! Lol
Now it's all on the way already but heng everything very cheap. Like per piece $2.00 that kind cos i bought the clearance section one.

wanna ask experienced mummies, how many pack of newborn diapers do u guys usually standby?
i know they said don't buy too many packs cos scared baby will outgrow it super fast but my friend said she's using 10-12 diapers a day for her newborn and by a week, the entire pack is gone!

Cos i'll be going to the Baby fair next week and figured if the price is cheap, i'll buy the newborn ones 1st. Maybe like a packs from Merries, a pack from Goon then another pack from Pampers so i can determine which one i like best before buying the S size next.

10-12 diapers are possible cos they poo and pee alot lolz ..
for me i dun stock up ..but make sure i will have 2 pack at home ..once finished 1 pack ... will buy another to replenish... .

but you know the kiasu mummy mentality ... buy big confirmed can use ..buy small there is a chance of wastage ..so you can play by ear ..

for baby above 3 kg ... err... NB diaper dun last long so it all depend your baby size
for me i will buy pamper cos tested and proven good lolz to me they "catch" the poo better lolz
 
saw other thread... gave birth in hospital and already got engorged breast :eek: that is fast ...partly due to inverted breast so she seem to me not keen to BF and taking medicine to stop the supply but one thing i dun understand .she say she got no milk production then how on earth the breast kena engorged leh

hey, i was told by my mom and MIL to get front / side snap shirts for bb when the cord is still there... and my friend who popped 2 wks ago told me... it takes practice for u to wear the rompers for bb initially

and fret not... diff babies grow differently. some are born v big and grow quickly. so i guess maybe the trick is not to buy too many outfits of a certain size. then u can better assess which size is best

yaaahhh i also scared if baby too big, then have to move to other sizes already. Use diapers also must trial & error. Lol
i think maybe i just buy 1 pack NB and 1 pack S. If really finish then get husband to replenish for me 1st. I'm a FTM and didn't realise how expensive diapers are and didn't realise newborns use that many diapers! lol

http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z10.5.w4002-3749411344.59.cGwu1Q&id=37193864642 - some short-sleeved side snap onesies for wear at home. finally managed to find short-sleeved onesies after much trying cos it seems easier to find long-sleeved onesies with side snap buttons. may want to hold ur horses and wait till oct 1 cos that's PRC national day. see if there are any national day sales!

Hi Gammahedging, thanks for sharing.. just curious cos i nv buy from taobao before.. can you ship this directly to SG? or there is a middleman to ship this back?
 
i've also been leaking colostrum already since the last two weeks. Not much. But sometimes i'll see my tshirt get wet at the boobs area and it gets all crusty. LOL
My friend said it's a bit early to leak but i read that some people leak during the 2nd trimester as well.
I just hope my boobies don't try so hard to be over-achievers! I rather keep all those liquid gold for baby!

yes get more side/front snap for newborn as their neck very wobbly and you may be helping nb to change every two to three hrs... rompers more suitable for after 3m
