Cloth diapering is not new to me. As
I’m the eldest from a family of six, I have done my fair share of cloth diapering
my younger sister.
My youngest sibling was born during
1994 and back then cloth diapering was the norm in Maldives. I personally did
not know anyone who used disposable diapers, only have heard about of the ‘wonders’
of dispos. But now, I don’t know anyone else who use CDs around here (cant’
help feeling a bit lonely).
During the first two months, my daughter
had terrible diaper rash, I started using expensive diaper rash creams, but no
matter what I did, it would not disappear.
I searched the internet to find a
solution for the diaper rash problem and found some advice regarding using CDs (cloth
diapers).
Another reason I wanted to use CDs
was, when I visited islands I’ve seen dispos littering the beautiful beaches,
and that made me think about finding another alternative, without the
inconvenience of traditional cloth diapers (folding and using pins).
The other reason was, in my opinion,
the amount of money spent on good quality dispos is ridiculous.
Thus began my search for modern cloth
diapers. I found many online stores selling modern CDs but the shipping was
just too much (to Maldives). So I began to search the shops here, and found
only one shop which sold Kushies AIO CDs. I bought just one to see whether I
would like it. It was a cute looking, soft diaper, but the fit wasn’t right for
my daughter since it leaked from the leg holes I had to search for another
brand and found Alvas a Chinese brand online.
Since then I have exclusively cloth diapered my daughter and haven’t
looked back.
Note; Is it bad manners to talk about food and cloth diapers
in the same blog? Just wondering…
