rashes issue

my baby's bum got rashes again.
my in laws were blaming the cd for that. they said that cds are hot, not suitable for babies, dispo are easier. change back to dispo la. what??? i spend nearly RM2000 and they ask me to change to dispo? huh... i think they better change their mindset. even if u wear dispo pun.. if u dont change immediately after he poo poo, mesti la naik rashes. then wear diaper for so long without changing also mesti naik rashes. aiyoo.. dont blame the tanah la if u cant dance, on this case dont blame the cd. wear cd la kurang sikit rashes. all this while rash case tak appear pun. how come it just appear recently?
and why dont u use all the cds that i provide to u? i put 4, and there's always extra 1. and i notice whenever i come to pick afiq.. mesti baru tukar pampers sebab kalau i terperasan the pants got wet (not necessarily because of wee wee..) they become defensive and claimed that they have just changed afiq. and how many times the diaper changing? i assume 2, + 1 times pada masa nak amik. 1st time masa morning bath.. which i dont know when exactly. may pukul 9 or 10. then maybe at 1 or 2. then masa pickup at 5 to 6.
poor afiq. he's just a baby.. their own blood. their own cucu/ nephew. why wont they care?

Why Cloth diaper?

Kenapa cloth diaper sedangkan banyak lampin pakai buang yang senang dipakai? Kenapa perlu bersusah payah membasuh sedangkan anda boleh buang sahaja lepas guna? Bayangkan berapa banyak duit yang anda habiskan untuk lampin pakai buang si manja dan adiknya dan adiknya dan adiknya lagi? Bertindak bijaklah mulai sekarang dengan cloth diaper yang sangat mudah digunakan, selamat dan sangat menjimatkan.

toksin dalam lampin pakai buang
Lampin pakai buang diperbuat daripada bahan-bahan tiruan seperti polyethylene film bagi pelapik perlindungan plastik lampin itu, polyester (bagi lapisan atasa lampin yang poros), polypropylene (bagi pelapik lampin dan pita yang digunakan bagi mengetatkan lampin, atau untuk lapisan lampin yang paling atas), pulp fluff daripada pulpa kayu yang diawet dengan klorin (yang menghasilkan dioksin, bahan penyebab kanser sebagai hasil sampingan), sodium polyacrylate (gel bertoksik yang kuat daya serapannya) untuk lapisan dalam lampin, minyak dan resin yang berpotensi menimbulkan alergi (sebagai gam yang mengikat lampin), wangian yang memudaratkan dan bahan-bahan kimia lain yang berbahaya seperti tributylin (salah satu bahan paling beracun pernah dihasilkan).

Sebahagian daripada bahan-bahan kimia tersebutboleh menimbulkan masalah kesihatan kepada bayi seperti ruam yang menyakitkan dan asma, serta masalah ketidaksuburan dan kanser apabila dewasa kelak.

Pengeluar lampin pakai buang sering mendakwa produk mereka boleh memastikan bayi berada dalam keadaan kering berjam-jam lamanya. Ini berikutan penggunaan bahan kimia sodium polyacrylate, sejenis gel yang terdapat dalam bahagian tengah lampin yang menjauhkan air daripada kulit bayi. Ini dimasukkan ke dalam lampin dalam bentuk serbuk berbiji yang bertukar menjadi gel apabila basah. Juga dikenali sebagai kristal polimer, sodium polyacrylate boleh menyerap 200-300 kali beratnya dalam air, dan membendungnya dalam bentuk gel bergetah.

Pengguanan sodium polyacrylate dalam lampin pakai buang memudahkan tugas ibu kerana tidak perlu menukar lampin bayi. Namun begitu ia menyebabkan bayi ditumbuhi ruam kerana terdedah kepada bahan-bahan kimia yang diserap, pertumbuhan bakteria dan ammonia daripada air kencing yang terkumpul dalam lampin. Pada masa yang sama ia juga menarik lembapan (bukan air kencing saja) daripada kulit bayi yang menggalakkan kegatalan kulit.
Bahan ini dilaporkan boleh menyebabkan radangan kulit yang teruk, pendarahan daripada tisu-tisu perineum dan scrotal, demam, muntah dan jangkitan staph di kalangan bayi.

Kebaikan menggunakan lampin kain, di antaranya ialah:

1. Takde bahan toksin, sihat, environmental friendly.

d) Lampin pakai buang juga dikaitkan dengan asma (lelah). Satu kajian yang dijalankan di Jerman pada tahun 2000 telah mendapati bahawa lampin pakai buang menaikkan suhu sekitar skrotum dan boleh menjadi punca rosaknya mekanisma penyejukan yang semulajadi. Ia boleh memberi kesan kepada kesuburan pada masa akan datang.

e) Lampin pakai buang juga merosakkan dan mencemarkan alam sekitar. Lampin pakai buang menggunakan banyak bahan mentah bagi menghasilkannya, termasuk pokok yang menghasilkan kertas serta bahan kimia bagi menghasilkan plastik. Lebih dari 27 juta lampin pakai buang sampai ke tempat longgokan sampah di serata dunia. Sehelai lampin pakai buang mengambil masa sehingga 500 tahun untuk mereput dengan sendirinya. Di rumah yang mempunyai anak kecil, lampin pakai buang menyumbang 50% dari keseluruhan sampah yang dikeluarkan dari rumah itu. Lampin pakai buang akan mencemarkan air dan menyebabkan penyakit apabila terkumpul dengan banyaknya di tempat longgokan sampah.

2. Jimat Kos

Penggunaan lampin pakai buang merupakan kos berterusan dan sangat mahal, lebih-lebih lagi bagi keluarga yang mempunyai lebih dari seorang anak kecil yang memakai lampin.

(a)Penjimatan kos dengan menggunakan lampin kain dapat dilihat dalam perbandingan di bawah:

Jika menggunakan lampin pakai buang:

Anak anda menggunakan minimum 6 lampin pakai-buang sehari pada kos RM0.50 setiap satu.

RM0.50 sekeping X 6=RM3.00 sehari
RM3.00 X 365 hari=RM1095 setahun
RM1095 X 3 tahun = RM3285 untuk seorang anak

Anda perlu mengeluarkan jumlah wang yang sama untuk anak yang kedua, ketiga dan seterusnya........

Jika menggunakan lampin kain/cloth diaper (CD)

Anda perlu mempunyai sekurang-kurangnya 12 helai CD jika anda bekerja dan mencucinya setiap hari. (bagi surirumah sepenuh masa atau yang mempunyai pembantu rumah, bilangan minimum yang diperlukan adalah kurang dari 10 helai kerana boleh terus dibasuh apabila menggantikannya). Untuk keselesaan, anda boleh membeli lebih insert secara berasingan.

Sehelai CD (termasuk satu insert) = RM45
Beli 12 helai: 12 X RM 45 =RM540
Beli 20 helai:(lebih banyak CD , lebih tahan lama kerana lambat lusuh)
20 X RM45 = RM900 sahaja !!!

Kos lampin kain kekal . Anda boleh menggunakan lagi lampin yang sama jika anda menambah bilangan ahli keluarga.

(b) Bayi akan cepat belajar membuang air di tandas.

Bayi yang menggunakan lampin kain juga akan lebih cepat membezakan antara basah dan kering kerana walau pun bahagian dalam lampin kain (fleece) ini sentiasa kering dan selesa, masih ada kedinginan semulajadi berbanding lampin pakai buang. Menurut satu artikel di dalam Wall Street Journal, bayi yang memakai lampin pakai buang memakai lampin sehingga umur 36 hingga 42 bulan, sedangkan bayi yang memakai lampin kain masanya lebih singkat iaitu sehingga setahun lebih awal. Ini sangat menjimatkan kerana anak anda akan cepat belajar membuang air sendiri di tandas. (earlier potty training)

3. Dari Segi Keselesaan dan Kecantikan

Lampin kain zaman moden ini juga ternyata lebih cantik dipandang kerana ia datang dalam pelbagai rekaan, warna dan corak. Fitting dan cuttingnya juga lebih cantik dan kemas serta selesa dipakai berbanding lampin pakai buang. Cara pemakaiannya juga sangat mudah, sama seperti lampin pakai buang. Ia sangat mudah dibasuh dan mudah kering kerana ia di perbuat dari kain yang ringan, lembut, selesa dan mempunyai pengudaraan yang baik untuk kulit si kecil anda.

tips on saving money from akpk

What goes up and never comes down? Besides your age, the price of goods and services is a possible answer too! In fact of late, there has been much talk about rising food and fuel prices all over the world. With prices going up and income remains relatively stagnant, it’s very important that we learn how to live more prudently.

What does it mean to be Prudent?

We may not like to use this word in our daily lives but we are going to hear it more often today than ever. Ask our forefathers and most often than not, they would tell us that their lifestyle was synonymous to this word. People today may be earning more than their forefathers, much more, but somehow, we are constantly a little short of cash, what more to save. It’s really not surprising because in those good old days you can buy a bowl of noodles for five sen whereas today, even a beggar would snub at the five sen that you dropped into his bowl!

Being prudent or frugal simply means managing in order to save. It means getting the most for your money. People who are prudent constantly find ways to save time, money and energy and let us state that being prudent does not mean being a “cheapo” / stingy or “kiam-sap”, as the Hokkiens call it.

How can I practice being Prudent or Frugal?

There are many ways to live on less money and below are some suggestions to help you stretch your Ringgit further:

• Reduce your daily expenses – before you buy anything, ask yourself:

1. Do I really need this?
2. Can I get it cheaper somewhere else?
3. Can I get it for free?
   

• · Cut something big out of your budget – go without a car (ouch!) and save on petrol, repairs, road tax, insurance and tolls or for being less harsh, try scaling down on your car type, like going for lower capacity vehicles. -cannot live la without car. tempat keje jauh
  
• · Use less – turn off the lights when not in-use and switch to energy-saving bulbs, cut-down on air-cons, wash full loads of clothes and dry them outside (rather than using a drying machine) and turn off all electrical appliances when not in use. - can do , will try
  
• · Reduce waste – use paper on both sides (go paperless, whenever possible!) and use cloth diapers rather than disposable ones.
• · Reuse or Recycle – compost your wastes, wherever possible (which can be used to plant your own vegetables!), grow a garden & turn your trash to cash! - apartment kecik je.. mana nak muat
• · Make things last longer – mend clothing, re-glue shoes, and fix things before they’re beyond repair.
• · Find new uses for old things – paint old furniture, make quilts from old clothes and convert old large tables as desks. In other words, recycle, recycle, and recycle!
• · Find cheaper substitutes – buy generic brands, shop at garage sales, rent instead of buy
• You can also be frugal by taking care of your needs in creative ways, by sharing with others and buy using community resources. Here are some other ways to save:
• · Find free or cheap entertainment. (we’ll talk about this more later) - free download music via internet haha
  
• · Share big purchases. - such as buying cloth diaper in bulk
  
• Sharing can help you get what you need for less money. For example, you may share a ladder, drill and perhaps a vacuum cleaner with your neighbours. You can also share a lot of your children’s play equipment with your friends or family members and car pooling is certainly another good example.
• · Trade or barter for services or products.
• Yes, we are living in a modern world but who says that we can’t practice bartering? In fact, you can trade or barter all kinds of things. If you can give a good haircut and your friend bakes very good cakes, trade your skills. You both get something you need and you both save money. Think about your skills, the things you enjoy and the things you do well. Next, think about the skills and talents of your friends, family and neighbours. Check around to see if someone wants to trade with you. Start out with something simple and see how it works. Who knows, you may someday create another “eBay”!

How can I save money on Entertainment?

This is one area where we spend quite a lot without realizing. However, it’s still possible to get good wholesome entertainment for free or almost free. Just because you’re trying to save money doesn’t mean you can’t have fun. No matter what your income, make time to relax and enjoy (after all, you only live once!) It’s probably even more important when you have less money. Without fun, it’s hard to lead a healthy life.

Here are some suggestions:

• · Borrow books or attend seminars/ programmes for free from the public library
• · Rent a video and try making your own kacang putih / cookies instead of going to the cinema
• · Visit the museums, zoos or the parks and enjoy the fresh air (depending on where you are!)
• · Look out for free concerts, kid’s programmes and family activities from the newspaper or through the tourist information centres/ websites
• · Take an inexpensive class through community education, learn a new craft or revive an old interest. You can even convert that hobby into a business
• · Attend free book readings for adults and kids at your local bookstores or library
• · Walk, hike or bike to explore something new or visit a favourite place
• · Watch the sun rise and set, find constellations in the sky, or perhaps start a project with your family like planting a tree (durian or mango trees would be perfect as that will help you save money on fruits!)

There’re a whole lot of other ways to enjoy cheap, good and wholesome entertainment, if you care to look around (just get onto the internet and run a search on “prudent lifestyle” or “frugal” and you’d be amazed as to what you’ll find!). In fact, another interesting activity that you may want to try is “people-watching”! Sit by the parks or malls and just observe what people do, how they walk, talk and laugh and how some parents “communicate” with their kids. There’s a lot to learn by just observing other people and best of all, it’s FREE!

Conclusion

Living on less money does not necessarily mean living any less. It’s more about living our lives more abundantly and purposefully and not merely living for others. Being prudent in all aspects of our lives is the cornerstone of wealth-building. If you hope to be financially free someday, you’d need to make prudent financial management a way of life, no matter what your income level or status
