5 REASONS WHY I CHOOSE CLOTH DIAPER

Each and every moms around have their own preference with regards to using diapers. Some would like to use disposables while others preferred cloth nappies. Personally, i used to use disposables on my 1st child. It's convenient  to use YES but there are things that i hate about it like its messy, garbage piles and rashes on my baby's bottom.

So as i search more about cloth diapering, i started getting hooked with it. I bought my first set (5 pcs baby alva with 3 layer inserts -Php900- ) through niftycorners in shoppee. I think it's the best deal i found over the net. I'm so happy with the designs i chose and the seller was easy to deal with...

Listed below are my personal reasons why i choose cloth diaper for my baby.

5 REASONS WHY I CHOOSE CLOTH DIAPERS

1. Cute designs  - What attract me first about cloth diapers are the colors and designs. The cuteness factor is limitless and fashionable as well. See those prints in flowery, purple and pink, green and yellow, white and blue, they are so adorable...

2. Environmental ( less garbage) - This is the benefit i would like to share with mother earth. To lessen the trash I dispose. Also, here in the Philippines there are lots of stray dogs roaming around and sometimes you can see them with dirty diapers in their mouth. I don't want to see my baby's dirty diaper eaten by a dog. Garbage piles are huge and is a big problem here in our country

3. Economical ( reusable and washable) - Disposable diapers are way expensive than cloth diapers. Considering i use 5 pcs ( worth 8 pesos each) disposables in a day(average), it will cost  Php 40 / day multiply it in 30 days it will cost Php 1200 in a month which makes it Php 14400 in a year while buying around 25 pcs cloth diapper in Php 200 / pc will only cost Php 5000 and its reusable for years.

4. Comfortable ( less rashes, comfort of cloth) - No chemicals, soft on baby's skin. My baby used to have a lot of rashes depending on the brand of diaper she uses. So, when i switched to cloth diapering, her rashes were gone. i just used pure water using spray every changing time and wipes it with cotton cloth too.( i stop using disposable wipes as well)

5. Easy potty training - Unlike disposable diapers, cloth diaper is less absorbent, that means the baby can feel the wetness and they will let you know. They don't like it. I have proven it on my first born child, he doesn't want the feeling of getting wet and dirty so potty training gets easy.

Yesterday i got my 2nd batch of CD's which i bought from Icav's boutique they were so cute and chick. Im so excited to use it for my baby. Different brand, different designs same function.

Now i'm still saving up for my 3rd batch of cloth nappies for my little girl. My plan is to have at least 25 sets. 

Here are some of the list where you can buy Cloth Diapers:

1. Amazon

2. Lazada

3. Shopee

Welcoming Our New Baby

One week before the big day i started preparing my checklist needed for my delivery as i might expect anytime soon even if i was scheduled for CS on March 8. I'm trying my best to save that day.
So, March 7 around 7 pm my husband and i went to the hospital for confinement in preparation for March 8 morning delivery. I have mix emotions of excitement and fear, but of course much of excitement and trusting God that everything will be alright.

Finally, at around 7 in the morning the nurse called "baby out". With all the fears and pain  i felt the joy as i heard my baby cry. The nurse put my baby on my chest as our first bonding moment.

The first person who received her after me was her dad while i am still in the recovery room.

And everyone else in the family are happy to see her.

We thank God for the safe delivery. and Welcome home our dear little angel Lily Brielle...

Baby Gender Reveal

Although i know we are blessed with whatever gender our baby will be, This is one of the most exciting part for me, to know the gender of our baby. But practically speaking we didn't throw up a baby shower or baby gender reveal party. Now that we have a first born baby boy, It could be awesome if God will grant us a baby girl...

God is good!!! He granted us a boy first and finally with a girl...

Out of excitement, my hubby and i went out to the mall to buy her first clothing...This 2018 violet is said to be the color of the year, i decided to make a lighter one to be the theme/motif of most of her things...

Now we're going to have a : (Daddy's Girl)

And a : (Mommy's Beauty)

I am now starting to create a checklist for our little darling's necessities when she arrived. And hopefully will complete everything before the big day comes.Since i am a CS, it will not be a surprise when will that big day be. I can be ready as soon as my OB scheduled my delivery.
