Cough Cough

We were admitted to the hospital for 24 hours last week for acute bronchiolitis. JW's paed recommended 24 hours worth of nebulizer treatment. Hence, while Mr Kong was in Bangkok for work, Mrs Kong and JW "checked in" to our usual hospital for a night's stay.

It wasn't too bad though JW did have a rough night and Mrs Kong's was the same as a result. JW initially thought he was on a holiday (like the holidays we have taken him on) because we were in a very nice room in the hospital. It was the "single Exec" which Mrs Kong would equate to a "suite" in a normal hotel. There was sofa, a bed for Mrs Kong, massive floor space, ensuite and a cot for JW. (JW's cot was the size of a single bed!)

Though JW did not like the nebulizer at all, not one bit, we did have a fun time rolling around in the hospital bed, watching astro and playing with the remotes - one which controls the bed and the other to control the TV/ light and nurses!

OH YES... and JW ate the cot. paint actually peeled of :P

p/s: JW is much better now.

Choice

You can't choose the type of parents who are given to you but you can choose to be the type of parents you want your children to have.

Sleeping for Malaysia

JW was on a growth spurt last weekend. His naps were perfect and night time waking was minimal. Eventhough he woke up a few times during naps, he just sent himself back to sleep. We enjoyed the peace and quiet while JW napped. He also ate A LOT! And Mrs Kong thinks his feet grew while on one of his naps. :O

Can only conclude ... a growth spurt!

Cloth Diaper Wholesale - CDW

... is a brand of cloth diapers we recently acquired at just RM35 each from Tiny Tapir. JW has worn these for about 4 weeks now, and they have been used very frequently.

We love the cut as in many ways, its a better fit than the Bum Genius 3.0 on JW. Light and in white, it feels less "hot" compared to the Bum Genius. Since JW is on solids now, and has more solid p**s, leakage is not so much of a problem.

However, as a long term investment, the CDWs may actually turn out to me more expensive.

Firstly, the care instructions differ from other cloth diapers. That is, lukewarm water is to be used for washing. This is cumbersome on a few fronts. While washing a whole day's load of cloth diapers is already a chore of some proportions, separating out the type of cloth diaper for washing would involve additional use of water! We have been doing lukewarm in anycase.

Secondly, as recently observed, the PUL on our CDWs have separated from the cloth. They look as normal from the outside but it is looking a little precarious from the inside. With our vigorous washing (mostly to remove poo and smell) its just a matter of time before a tear occurs!

We will still use these of course, given the initial investment but will probably move to using more fitted diapers.

Will be writing a review of the Dream-Eze fitted diapers once we have pictures of these!
