Last Friday, Stella got abit of a nappy rash. (Actually, before that I never knew where nappy rash can occur and what it looks like)
Mummy xiu (i.e. me) got into a panic cos she never learnt from the confinement nanny how to fold nappies. Luckily she was rather good at origami, plus there was the DK "The complete book of mother & baby care" at home. So at 12 00 h when stella was taking her afternoon nap, she learnt it and folded as many 8 nappies. Wah she thought it would last her a LONG time.... maybe she would only have to fold again on sunday.
Boy was she wrong. Cloth nappies last about 45mins (babies pee or have bowel movements that often) and by bedtime little princess had used up all 8 nappies. Plus a few costume changes cos her shorts/pants got wet with each pee and blanket changes.
The hardwork has paid off though. Stella is officially nappy rash free as of yesterday.
Mummy xiu continued to used cloth nappies for the whole of yesterday and til 3pm today until the cloth nappies supply stopped cos they were all in the wash.
[Shit. The nappies are now dry... to use or not to use]

am wondering... couldn't you put her in cloth nappies and diapers outside of that?
not gonna save the nappies much... but at least her clothes and blankets will be dry...
and it saves you from figuring out the dilemma...
USE BOTH!
(i'm a non-mummie... you can ignore my suggestions)
