Welcome to the month of August! It’s also my birthday this month *wink wink* Probably I should get myself some new Cloth Diapers as presents. (Something very wrong when a woman wants Cloth Diapers instead of handbags and shoes for herself… haha!)

So another new month signifies another Featured Shop on Cloth Diaper Malaysia. This month, we are featuring MY BABY PIT STOP: Cloth Diapering & Breastfeeding Store.

ABOUT MY BABY PIT STOP:

My Baby Pit Stop is a special baby store dedicated to Breastfeeding, Cloth Diapering and Natural Parenting in Penang. The online store specializes in Cloth Diapers and Breastfeeding support products for Mom and baby. The owner Angie, is a full-time working mother who encourages money-saving while making the environmentally friendly choice to cloth diaper your baby.

I had great fun having a chit-chat session with Angie herself. I’m sharing it with my readers below

Choose from the many pastel colours of BumGenius 4.0 from My Baby Pit Stop

Cloth Diaper Malaysia: It’s a pleasure to have you on Cloth Diaper Malaysia, Angie! Firstly, may we know the reasons of starting My Baby Pit Stop online store? What was your aim?

Angie: I started to know about Cloth Diapers a few years ago when I was diapering my eldest daughter. It was a great pleasure to have known friends who introduced me to them. Since the birth of my child, I didn’t like to use disposable diapers and I will only use them when needed which was before we came across Cloth Diapers. My parents used lampins on us when we were babies because they were against disposable diapers.

My Baby Pit Stop started in early 2007, 6 months after the birth of our eldest daughter. The main reason for starting the store is to share about Cloth Diapers with our friends and family. There were not many stores that were selling them at that time Good things need to be shared with more people, and I aim to encourage parents to change their mindset about using Cloth Diapers.

I am a “green mommy”, or at least I try to be a “green” person. Whenever possible, I do not use tissue papers but use a wipe or hanky instead. I also do not receive plastic bags when I buy things outside. Even if I forget to bring my reusable shopping bag, I will simply carry my things in my hands.

For me, as long as we, as parents are doing our part to reduce the usage of disposable diapers, even 1 a day at a time I am very happy.

This is my favourite Autumnz diaper: Minky Snap Button (Moo Moo Cow). Very affordable!

CDM: You are a full-time working mother, and you manage an online store – you must be SUPER busy! How do you manage your time working, being a mother and wife?

Angie: Just like any modern woman today, we are filled with many different roles in our lives, being a mom, a wife, a daughter, a sister and the list goes on… I have to say that women are born with the skills to multitask and to be able to handle many things and ‘roles’ at one time.

For my family, I will say that it is very important things like having a strong family foundation, and having the necessary fundamental requirements available and the rest will be smooth sailing.

I don’t want to bore you with the boring time management stuff but I do things in an orderly manner and that’s how we can make good use of the 24 hours in our daily lives.

I can also get my favourite brand of All-In-Twos (AI2s), GroVias from My Baby Pit Stop!

CDM: What sets My Baby Pit Stop apart from the other baby stores out there (or, why should mothers shop at your store)?

Angie: Since I, myself am a mother of two, My Baby Pit Stop knows exactly what is needed for mothers. We have a wide range of products from cloth diapering, natural parenting, breastfeeding, toys and clothings. One of the distinct advantage that we have is that we provide very fast shipping services and delivery – You are assured to receive your ordered items on the very next day in most cases! We also provide good customer service, and the best prices in the market!! We believe that if we keep our customers happy with getting the best products for their children, and also keep them updated with information from My Baby Pit Stop, they will be a satisfied returning customer for us! We have received many compliments from mommies & daddies about the excellent services that we have provided. I would like to thank all of them for their continuous support to My Baby Pit Stop.

The Flip System is another innovative brand of All-In-Two (AI2) diapers.

CDM: Can you let us know more about the Cloth Diapers that you sell on My Baby Pit Stop? Which are your favourite brands?

Angie: Honestly, I love all the Cloth Diapers that I carry in our store! I have used them, tested them on my kids or relatives’ kids before deciding to sell any of them. Due to limited time constraints, we cannot carry every everything under the sun hence, we select only the best of the best to be in our online product offering. I have to admit that many of the items we carry in the store are currently personally used by our families

My favorite and most practical Cloth Diaper brand is Bum Genius and Blueberry, they are the best Pocket Diaper brands ever made! GroVia (previously known as Grobaby) and Flip are great brands of All-In-Two (AI2) diapers, and perfect for mommies who want to save money in the long term. Not to forget, I also carry Happy Heinys and Knickernappies which are very suitable for larger build babies. I would strongly recommend the “Best Sellers packages” to many first time cloth diapering Mommies, and I would say that they agree with me very much on the quality and performance of those brands. Oh, and I also feel that Autumnz is a wonderful yet very affordable brand of cloth diapers to try out.

Gorgeous Blueberry Minky cloth diapers!

CDM: What is your advice to someone who is new to Cloth Diapering but unsure about which brand of Cloth Diaper to try?

Angie: For mommies who are trying the Cloth Diapers for the first time, it’s best to test out a few brands as each brand has different makes, cuttings and most importantly – every child’s body is different. I have encountered first time cloth diapering mommies who made mistakes by buying many diapers from the same brand only to discover it is not suitable for their child. Also, depending on your family’s budget, invest equally in several types of Cloth Diapers so that you can experience many of them before deciding what’s best.

Happy Heinys brand is a very popular brand of One-size cloth diapers!

CDM: Finally what are your final words?

Angie: You are what you think. It’s important to really put a thought on what you should or shouldn’t be doing. We must be responsible with our actions. This is not only related to our spending patterns (what we buy), but this also relates to our daily actions and reactions. Happy Cloth Diapering to all!

Thank you very much for sharing all this with us Angie!

My Baby Pit Stop online store is open 24/7 and I bet Angie and her helpful assistants will be happy to serve you as best as possible about your cloth diapering choices. Visit MY BABY PIT STOP today!

By now you might have already known where to get Prefold Diapers: “Where Can I Get Prefolds in Malaysia?” and also how to use them: “5 Ways to Use & Fold Prefolds”. So what’s next on the list? It’s time to get to know DIAPER COVERS!

So What are Diaper Covers?

• Prefolds or flat diapers (kain lampin) are NOT waterproof. “Accidents” such as spills and messes might happen unless you plan to change these diapers often, or wear them (supervised!) only at home during the day.
• Therefore to make these types of cloth diapers waterproof, Diaper Covers can be used.
• Depending on brands, a Diaper Cover can cost between RM20 to RM100+.
• Inner material is made from PUL (polyurethane-laminated cloth) which makes it waterproof, and also wool and knit (as inner/outer layer).
• If made from wool & knit, it is not only waterproof, but also more breathable. However, it can be more expensive ~RM80+ a piece.
• You seal it on with Velcro or Snaps for ease of use.
• It can be used with prefolds, flat diapers (lampin) or fitted diapers.
• Diaper covers need not be cleaned after each use, maybe a few times a week after enough reusing. Unless, it gets soiled with baby’s poo. It dries easily too.
• Things to look for: Sizing (S, M, L, one size, etc), Material type (PUL, wool, knit), Good fitting (Gussets -extra material around the legs can prevent leaks from the sides).
• Diaper covers come in many cute designs and patterns like these (to cover the boring, white prefolds and lampins!)
