Cloth diaper again

Cloth diaper again. People will think that mummy is crazy as Ethan already 29 months and he should have been potty trained. Ya, Ethan has been potty trained but not yet 100% get rid of the diaper. Luckily daddy didn't scold mummy for spending money on buying this luxurious things. With these additional 5 cloth diapers plus the old one, Ethan has 9 cloth diapers in total. Still reasonable la.

Actually mummy had struggled on whether to buy the cloth diaper or not. But few points have just supported mother to decide to go ahead and buy are: -
i) Night time, currently Bumwear cloth diaper cannot withstand overnight so Ethan still wearing Mamy Poko at night time. Even Mamy Poko also only can withstand if Ethan only drink one time milk for whole night. If in the middle or early morning Ethan drinks another round of milk, surely Mamy Poko cannot hold his pee. Sometimes people will say why not change the diaper when Ethan have another round. We didn't change it as Ethan fall asleep again after drinking his milk, his sleep will not be long. Maybe just 30min to 1 hour. Normally when he wakes up, mummy will take off the diaper and washes his bump. Waste another disposable diaper just for this short period. So will consider putting the cloth diaper on him.

ii) Night time between bath time and sleeping time, daddy will take care of him while mother can do other things. Daddy afraid Ethan will pee on our bed if mother didn't let him wear diaper. Sometimes in this short period, Ethan can pee a lot of urine and the diaper will not withstand for him overnight. So planning to let him wear the cloth diaper before he sleeps.



iii) Sometimes Ethan is very cheeky. When mummy asks whether he wants to pee or not, he will shake his head to indidate "No". However, just a minute after mummy walked out the room, he will pee on the floor. He will inform mummy where is the spot that he pee. So sometimes mummy has to accompany him inside the room until he pee then mummy only dare to walk out of the room.

iv) Foresee that Ethan will not be 100% diaper free especially at sleeping time. Mummy only has seen for one time that Ethan didn't pee on the cloth diaper during the nap time. That time was when he had eaten rice and not milk before sleep. The nap time was very short about 2 hour. Recently Ethan nap time can last for 4 hours. So definitely need diaper.

Mummy had noticed that if she let Ethan wear diaper, he will not tell us when he want to do small business. But without diaper he will tell sometimes but not 100% as he will forget to inform especailly during playtime.

Still have long way to go......
