Cloth diapers in india review...........part one
Today my post is all about cloth diapers.Mostly people from older generation in our country does not prefer disposable ones and modern day moms found it really exhausting task to change babies nappies every half an hour or even every 10 min in winters. and then doing loads of laundry every day.
so here comes the solution..........modern day cloth diaper ;its cloth ,so one won't argue with u about its disadvantage.plus it gives benefits of disposable ones.
Many mothers want to know about these modern day cloth diapers but wait for quite long time before buying, just because there are so many questions in their mind like...something like these.......?????
so here my answer to all queries.
yes buy them, at least one, anyone,any type of it,just to try........u will really want to buy more later one.
one more thing , sooner u buy more money u save.
and u wud have more time to experiment with different types. at the same time wasting less money

CLOTH DIAPERS IN INDIA REVIEW......PART TWO
even I have answered in one line (or few lines)I will try to answer every question with explanation (as we used to do in school notes explaining every heading.)or I will send u to some link to satisfy ur queries (or may be to get more confused.....well I hope u wont)
so here it goes
What are they exactly and how they work?
they usually have two parts diaper cover(coloured or printed) and insert(usually white ). former for preventing leakage outsideand ,later one for soaking wetness inside.
these two parts come in many forms and varieties from brand to brand. depending upon every mom needs. these two parts are either sewn together(ie u don't have to join two parts can use it directly)or get attached by snap closure or may be by inserting one part into other(ie pocket diaper)
they are not a plastic cover with cloth nappies inside as many people think. and they don't work as this .baby wont feel wet inside as inner part wicks away moisture keeping babys skin dry,
while outer part prevent leakage outside keeping the wetness in between.
How to use them? its so confusing to read about them.
don't worry so much about this, once u will buy one, u wud know how to use another type too.
but still if u want to know
Which one to buy?
Its up to your need and how much money u want to spend on these diapers. pocket diapers woud cost more than the other one in which insert is snapped onto cover.but pocket diaper can work for longer period than other one.if u are on budget or u have newborn baby than snapped one would be good,but it need to changed early than pocket one which can be used overnight (using two inserts) .
There are so many items related to it.... organic, microfibre, cotton insert ,pocket diaper,diaper cover,prefolds, etc etc........Do i need to buy everything above?its too much!!how i will manage all these items?
You don't have to buy every thing all at ones,for the first time just buy the diaper and u will get inserts with it and later on can decide whether u want extra inserts or simple cotton insert or microfiber or organic whatever.
like me I never bought separate inserts(use cotton inserts that come with diaper cover and that's all)

- u have to fill or snap insert to diaper cover.
- then snap butons on diaper cover according to ur babie's size ..or u can do this for one time only do not open snap buttons again till it fits ur baby this seems complicated in reading but it is not so .
- lie ur baby and put it on ur babyt as u do in regular diapers.then snap buttons according to ur baby's waist.(some brands have velcros in place of snap buttons
- check with ur fingers along leg sides and waist for best fit,they must not be loose or too tight
- take a deep breath and relax for 3 to 5 hrs as u don't have to change it so soon.
Which one to buy?

I am back .........from a break
Its been quite a while since i wrote last time.
it was really a big break from the world of internet but in real life i hardly got 5 min break .
Back those days(thou few months ago...seems like a long time) i cud do my household work,write blogpost and look after my baby at the same time without her disturbing me except for her basic needs.
My baby doll was so busy with herself..... playing with her hands n feet, practicing sitting ,cruising,standing,then walking........that i used to get some time of my own to do something else apart from taking care of her alone.
But these days are really trying and exhausting time for me , my lil baby has entered her second year,
she is not a baby anymore and not a doll at all and she is determined to proved that.
now she clearly tells in her action that i cannot control her as a puppet ,she's her own person with ideas and wills of her own.
And like all one year old ,she loves to explore, she is determined to know what my mamma do with her laptop ,pushing all butons or or pulling the cord .
Even if i close my laptop she can open it and switch on the power button ; i dont know when did she learn it or whn did she watch me doing this(shes just one year old.......)
No, she has to poke into everything that iam into . if i m working on bed she has to climb on to it no matter what?
so now you can understand (or atleast sympathsise)..... it is not a big thing to take break from all big jobs of this world for these little jobs of wonder.

Enjoy ur baby ...... without being worried how to be a perfect mother
I really want to say this to all new moms .....RELAX,,,,,,
Enjoy ur newborn baby with ur partner and spend some time together; looking at ur little one and talking abt her
.Dont get in rush to do everything perfect and get tired. Following blindly every word by others (except your doctor) and getting frustrated.Trust yourself that u r a good mother and u wud try to do ur best for ur new born even if others don't agree with u.
Quite often I see in my neighbourhood, mother in laws take whole charge of baby and try to keep keep distance between the baby and mom.Bonding between mom and baby is sometimes discouraged by MIL only because of their over excitement of taking care of newborn.
They themselves believes that they are experienced and a young mother is ignorant so its solely their responsibility to take care. Even if they do this with good intention,this some times give rise to other problems......like following old practices that cud create problems(too much wrapping baby or bathe or massage rigoursly,squeezing out baby milk,putting oil in ears and nose)
Also I have noticed sometimes they discourage breastfeeding to baby or might put too much pressure for breast feeding ,making the young mothers so anxious or scared....or nervous that it affects her .....
listen to one of my cousins story...........she wasn't able to breastfeed her baby as everybody around her esp her mom put so much pressure by telling whats the right way to hold or how to sit the entire time u breastfeed or how to keep a finger on your breast so that ur baby wont suffocate or how to keep a hand. or squeeze ur breast to let the milk come out.eating only particular things and doing too much PARHEZ(abstinence frm certain foods)......so on so on........that it all made her so nervous, that she was hardly able to breastfeed her baby.
While in my case ,I just fell in love with my baby at the first sight that I did what my heart said was good for my little wonder.I was never worried about milk production and improving the quality of milk by eating particular food, never absconded any food.Ate to my heart delight whatever I liked.Breastfeed my baby in lying down position during nights as it was relaxing for me(which was not allowed by olders).And guess I never had any single breast feeding problem till date,still BF at around one year without any worrying.
Don't take too seriously all that the neighbor says and all that older people says (as there information is passed on to them by their elders which is sometimes not correct).
I am not saying that they are wrong always and ignore them completely, its good to listen to their good advices but don't be afraid to trust your own common sense.bringing up your baby wont be complicated if u take it easy and trust your own instincts.
Everytime you pick your baby up---even if u do it little awkwardly at first ---and change her bathe her feed her smile at her,she's getting the feeling that she belongs to you and that u belong to her.
what mothers instinctively feel like doing for their babies is usually best after all .
Better to relax and make a few mistakes than to to try too hard to be perfect.
