something struck me on the ward today..
this one cute baby just 'did her poo' during baby check
so the resident changed her nappy
while she's wiping her, i tried to fold the nappy
and guess what...i couldnt!!
i tot i knew how
but i couldnt get them out from my memory
i tot it was easy n something we do by instinct
but...i couldnt...
aaaa i cant believe that i dont even remember how to fold a nappy..
maybe it's not my fault because the last time i did one was about 16 yrs ago..
and nobody uses cloth nappies anymore..everybody goes for pampers nowadays..
so i decided to google on cloth nappies...

Cloth nappies are much cheaper than disposables. I have estimated that parents spend about AUS$3500-4000 on nappies for one child from birth. See below for detailed cost comparisons

• Cloth nappies can be a healthier option for your baby. Many parents find that babies have less nappy rash. Considering the advertising campaigns from disposable companies you may find this hard to believe! I deal with customers all the time who cannot use disposables due the rash they cause in babies. Cotton nappies mean your babies skin can breathe.

• Cloth nappies are a responsible environmental choice. You can make your own detergents or purchase earth-friendly brands to wash them in, thereby not contributing bleaches or chemicals to our water table in the washing process.

It takes thousands of gallons of water, paper from our trees and bleach and chemical absorbers to make disposables look white, clean and fresh when you pull them out of a packet.


and now i'm going to keep googling for 'how to fold a nappy' :D
(mcm takde keje)

oooo.i managed up to step 3 but then i couldnt figure out that i need to turn it upside down for step 4..but doesnt matter because even the resident and even the mom couldnt!! :D
