The Battle of the Nappies

Afraid of diaper rash? Of course I am! that's why choosing the right diaper is very important. When I gave birth, among the gifts that my Little One (LO) received are diapers, so I was able to try two different brands and here's my experience.

Huggies - the newborn size seems too small for newborn (or maybe my LO was too big for a newborn LMAO!) What I love about this is the material used for the "magic tape," it is soft so my baby's skin wont get hurt. I also like the minimal prints on the nappy, talking about elegance. I also like how its wetness indicator works perfectly, the light yellow stars really turned blue once your LO needs a nappy change. On the bad side, you have to change nappy right after one wetness because it easily get soaked so I don't use it at night time.

EQ Dry - I am so far happy with this brand because it can lock in wetness long enough so I don't have to worry about getting diaper rash or disturbing my LO's sleep at night. On the negative side, I noticed some inconsistencies in the material used in their nappies. I am currently using medium size by the way (the green one). When I bought the one in 18pcs-pack and 84pcs-pack the color of the nappy is brighter than those on 36pcs-pack. well that's fine, it's purely aesthetic anyway. However, I also noticed that they used different material on the "magic tape." The one in 18 & 84pcs pack is softer than those in 36pcs-pack.

So far my LO uses EQ Dry since it's fulfilling its purpose of locking in wetness. I am just really hoping that they'll use the same materials for all their nappies especially on the magic tape.

It's Baby Bath Time!

Since I am a working mom, bath time during weekends is our "mommy & baby" bonding time. I believe that my Little One (LO) is enjoying it too and I love how she loves water while I lather baby bath soap on her. I know that baby's skin is so sensitive that's why I am very conscious about her skin's reaction to the products we're using. While almost all baby bath soap out in the market claims to be mild, it still pays to be observant to avoid serious skin problems later on. So far, I was able to try three different products and here's a some sort of product review:

Enfant Baby Soap - I just realized that it has strong fragrance the first time I used it. It made my LO's skin dry so I decided to stop using it immediately.

Johnson's Head-to-toe baby wash - It moisturized my LO's skin. I love the silky feeling everytime I touch my LO's skin, but few hours after bathing it leaves my baby's skin sticky.

Lactacyd Baby Bath - My LO had a cradle cap and this product helped a lot in getting rid of it. It doesn't dry my LO's skin and protected it from rashes.

 Happy bath time!
