Baby Diapers Vs "Lampin", Which one is better?

Long time ago, especially during my papa mama time, using disposal diapers was not a trend. Perhaps too expensive. Most parents, including mine, normally will use a type of cloth ( we called "lampin" in Malaysia ) for babies. So, in our neighborhood,  if we see a lot of "lampin" were hanging outside under the hot sun, meaning to say that, the family just have a new born baby. Why? because we need to wash it almost everyday.

There are a lot of benefits using "lampin" rather than disposal diapers such as, save some money, easily dry up, comfortable for baby and etc...But only one thing my wife and I cannot stand was, we need to change a lot  "lampin" which might disturb their sleep, including the parents.Well, drinking milk in the mid-night is already a tough, and yet, we still need to change the "lampin". As you know, baby cried in the middle of the night only for 2 reasons. One is for milk and another is to tell us " Papa mama, is wet wet now, please change for me now, if not , i cannot sleep...hehehe !!!"

So, after some discussion and research, we found a solution, although was not the best but it really loosen our job a bit. USE disposal diapers !! In supermarket nowadays, there are too many brands of diapers for us to choose. Some are good in quality ( expensive ) and some are not so good. In order to cut some washing, we decided to buy 2 types of diapers. One is the expensive ( good quality, can last longer ) to be used at night, and another one is the average one ( can be used during afternoon sleep ).

Yes, with this solution, the baby can sleep longer now and the parents can get more rest. And during night time, we only need to make milk when they are hungry, except bowels ( pang sai ). From that moment, we have been practising these method and it really work. How about you all? Have you tried these method? Or do you have any comment or suggestions?

Why my baby always cry ?

Yes, baby always cry. In 2004, when my son was just came into this world, the very first thing i cannot TAHAN (stand ) was baby "CRYING". And of course, i really don't know what to do most of the time. Though we were very happy to have our first child, and for the first time, my wife and I became mother and father. But, very soon, we faced the biggest challenge in our life ( during that time ), the CRYING issue.

After some hand-on experiences, we finally found that, the baby do not simply cry. They cried for reasons. They are 6  reasons why my baby cry ( maybe more for other baby ):

1. Hungry
2. Urinate / Pass motion
3. Sleepy
4. Sick ( fever/ flu/ pain/ etc )
5. Boring
6. Undetected

How do i know? Good question. I really don't know but through trial and error. Nobody tell us in fact. One thing i must praise my wife, she really can differentiate the types of cry my baby performed for different reasons. Maybe this is the special skill that only woman have. Honestly, till the last day before my kid can talk, when they were crying, the only thing i will do is check the diapers......" pai seh" ( shame shame ).
However, my son is already 6 and my daughter is 5....they still like to cry. WHY? I will share with you next time.
