Raw and Cooked Barley...

Formula milk make babies really 'heaty' and this will cause constipation to the babies...
Not good for our little darlings... Some paediatricians will say it's alright because some babies even have constipation up until one week... Wah!!!! so long ah... not really healthy right??
So my little Alexander has trouble too... so my aunt suggested that i fed him Raw and cooked barley for him once or twice a week... it will help him.. poo poo :D
So i tried... this is how the barley looked like...


As you can see... some of the barley if cooked already that why it looks puffy while some are not...

This one whole pack only cost me MYR1... ahahaha so cheap hor.... but the shop keeper told us that we should use the whole pack for one serving... but we didn't lar... we use only a few table spoon :P


It still worked!!!! At least bb is poo-ing almost daily... (ya.. still skip one day.. sometimes...)

Well, at least it is working... :)

Cloth Diapers that is dry on the baby's skin... ( almost like the dryness of the disposable diapers.)

What diapers are you using now??
Day time, my baby uses cloth diapers... ya.. the normal cloth diapers...
Recently, i got myself some really nice cloth diapers that will be dry for my baby's skin like the disposable diapers.. just that it is cloth and it is washable. To me it is environmental friendly and comfortable for my boy boy... :D
This is how it looks like when we open it up...

The blue colour cloth will remain dry when ever it is wet.. but of course it will feel wet should our bb used this diaper for a very long time...

Normally for one insert, we can use it for about 4 hour or so? sometimes at night i will put 2 inserts so it will absorb more liquid.

You must be thinking... 'What inserts???"

This is how the inserts looked like....


Ya... like a small towel lar.. tt absorb the liquid (in other words... pee lar....)
We can inserts this "towels" inside the diapers and take it out to wash when it is too wet...

How to use the diapers?? EZ... just put them on like how you put the normal disposable diapers or any diapers....

Another good part about this diapers is that 1 size fits all...

means this diapers is very adjustable and flexible. You see all the buttons?? it can fit the older toddles... as well as...


For the babies... like the above photos... there are some buttons inside the diapers and as we button up those... it will make the diapers smaller and a better fit for our babies..

The logo for the product.. from bumwear.com i think...

I got 2 with 9 inserts which cost me about MYR 328.
I washed the other 2 and took photos on the one that is still dry... ahahaha... here are my other 2 diapers... I got it from the shop in Citypark called Babyloft :)

I think this is very suitable for ppl who are environmental friendly, want our baby to feel comfortable and convenience....
I still recommend normal cloth diapers becuase we can toilet train them faster... but because i go out a lot adn sometimes it is just for a short while, thurs last time we use disposable diapers a lot.. but with this... i can not just safe some $$ but also be more enviromental friendly..
:D Hope you all will too!!!

Alexander is learning how to turn...

Alexander is learning how to turn and he can actually do it!!! Sometimes he still get stuck lar ahahaha... and he will start crying if and when ever he is stuck..

When i was in Sabah, according to Nigel, Alexander already showing signs that he can turn from face down to face up as Nigel found him face up one early morning... Usually we put him face down to sleep.. he sleeps better and longer that way..

I wonder is Alexander growing too fast? Is it a good thing or does it shows that he could be hyper? just a thought lar.. I dun really think about it too much.. Just take it a day at a time.. Alexander is like teething also.. but not really out yet.. just itchy i guess... When ever i wash his mouth i can feel something hard & sharp on his gums. Should be teeth gua.. but not growing out yet...

According to the older people, the longer your teeth grow the stronger it is.. means a baby who grows his teeth at 12 months old will have a stronger teeth to a baby who grows his teeth at 6 months... this is a fact by older generation, not to compare your children's teeth is better than other ppl's children... it does not matter... as long as you clean it properly, all teeth can be good teeth...

Same with turning.... it does not matter when they turn, it is not going to matter he turns sooner than other baby's, it's nothing to compare about.. it's just good to know he can turn d... most importantly he is healthy and growing normally.
