First batch of washing - nappies!

From the pile of hand-me-downs, we sure had a lot of cloth nappies.

Ironically, for those babies born from the past few years or so - Lia's nieces and nephews, none of them actually have had cloth nappies at their bum. My mother-in-law (along with domestic helpers) was quite the main caregiver at that time and she used disposable diapers. Cloth nappies were being used for swaddling instead; which was great; considering Singapore's weather, you don't wanna overheat a baby but yet, we got to give him some security somehow. We've used nappies as a (flat) pillow for Lia's time. Nah, newborns don't need a real pillow yet but we had it in the cot to lay her head on, to catch milk spits every now and then. I am gonna do the same for Baby Zann, except that this time round, I am gonna slot waterproof sheets in between the nappy, to avoid staining the cot sheets!
