Cloth Diaper Reviews

Hello Mommies!

In the coming days, I will be posting reviews on different brands of cloth diapers, to help mommies decide on what they will buy for their babies and toddlers. As you all know, I have an online shop My Happy Nappy and most of the moms I encounter are newbie mommies, soon-to-be mommies, or first time on cloth diapering. 

Okay, FYI, I am not an expert when it comes to cloth diapering, I consider myself as a newbie too because I just started exclusively cloth diapering my son when he was 2 months old. But with the help of blogs, group about cloth diapers and mommies who are experienced, I was able to learn and get some tips about cloth diapers. I will also be sharing reviews only with the cloth diapers I have with me, mostly those being sold on my online shop. 

My first review will be Alva 3.0 in the coming days. If you have any questions or any suggestions, feel free to comment here. If you want me to review a certain brand (wag lang BumGenius, mahal yun! LOL) let me know so I can make a review. 

I'll see you in the coming days, hopefully I can make two reviews in one week until I am able to post all cloth diaper brands we are using right now. Thank you Mommies!

The Grumpy Mommy's second baby is here!

I finally gave birth to our second child last week, February 16, 2015, 6:47 pm via C Section. We named him, David.

I woke up 6am Monday morning to prepare my daughter to school and when I went to the restroom to pee, I noticed that water's been flowing continuously. It was the amnionyic fluid, my waterbag broke. I went to the hospital and met my husband there and went straight to the Emergency room. 

I was on VBAC plan but the baby was cord coil and my cervix did not fully dilated (2cm only) and had to decide I will have a C Section instead. Though I was a bit disappointed, I am still thankful that my baby boy was safe. 

We stayed at the hospital for four days and was discharged last Thursday. It's really good to be home and be with family. Now, i am resting and still a little bit overwhelmed with all that happened and still adjusting with the "puyat sessions" I am in right now. I even feel I am having baby blues. But anyway, all is well and God has been so good to me and my family. 

Babyflo Shampoo

Last Friday, me and my daughter went shopping for her stuff and we were looking for her shampoo. I spotted this Babyflo shampoo and smelled the green one and the red one (those were the ones available). Me and my daughter agreed that the red shampoo smells so good. It smells like candy, for real! So we got the small bottle. I forgot the exact price of this but it ranges from 50 pesos to 60 pesos  for the 125ml bottle.

I noticed the first time my daughter used this, the smell and scent lasted the whole day and even the next day. I am a happy mommy! I even tried it today and I am super loving the smell of it. This is tear free by the way so this is safe for babies too! I will definitely try other colors. They have red, green and yellow. 

According to Philusa's website, Regular (yellow)- nourishes and freshens baby’s hair, Conditioning (red)- makes baby’s hair soft and smooth, Natural (green)- makes baby’s hair healthy and bouncy. 

Go try this on your baby! You will really smell the goodness of this shampoo! :)

Christmas Shopping Online

I know this is a very late post but I want to share with you where I bought most of my gifts last Christmas. Since they say that Christmas is enjoyed most by kids, I didn't spend much on giving gifts to grown ups except for my husband of course. Haha. I did online shopping of clothes for my daughter and some of my inaanak. I have a lot of inaanak na pala and I lost contact with some of them.

Anyway, I seldom give toys to kids on birthdays, christening or Christmas. I make sure that I give something that they can use like clothes. Now, I was browsing through Instagram -- let me remind you, I am purchasing most of my stuff here as well and I am getting addicted to this, I came across this seller @rileyraye_mustloved who sells cute ternos for kids. (Check out her page) This seller is so nice and we get along very well. I did a last minute shopping, I thin ordered a week before Christmas and I had to wait for some orders that she need to buy for me. This is what I bought from her (first batch).

All of these clothes only cost me P1390.00 and she gave me free shipping! She even gave my daughter a free sando and hair clip which my daughter really loved wearing. What a great deal, isn't it? Yay!

And then, since I became a fan of the clothes she's selling, I ordered again this week. She had a clearance sale and dropped prices on most of the items which I grabbed hurriedly! Haha. Here it is. I just got this yesterday.

As always the clothes were really nice like the first time I ordered from her. I got the 3 pieces of sando for 100 pesos, the stripe dress also for 100 pesos, stripes green terno sando for me and Amber also for 100 pesos and a sando set (not in the photo) for 85 pesos. She gave me freebies again, this time 2 hair clips. I am super happy. :)

You may check out her IG profile for clothes she's selling, you might want to order too! Haha. She's became a friend of mine already because we've been vibing almost everyday. Haha. Check her out @rileyraye_mustloved.I will definitely buy more from her because I saw another seller who sells the same clothes for kids but the price is almost twice the price of what she's selling. I'm with the right seller, thank God. Really good buy!

Farlin Silicone Nipples

I am a solid fan of Farlin! MY daughter's bottles are also Farlin and I super love their silicon nipples too!

I did tried some other brands but I always end up going back to Farlin, I swear! I like the style of the nipple (though some brand have the same style too) and it fits perfectly even if you're not using a Farlin feeding bottle! I think this silicone nipple lasted for 2-3 months depending on the use of your child but that's how long my daughter uses this.

There are variety of sizes to choose from. They have the small, medium and large hole sizes and they have cross hole toddlers like my daughter. They also come in single purchase for around P20.00 and around P57.00 when you buy pack of 3, just like the one shown in the photo.

You can buy them wide range of supermarket and grocery stores nationwide. I bought the ones in the photo in Puregold BF Paranaque.
