Mia Bambina will be away from November 9th until December 5th

Dear Customers and Friends.

Mia Bambina will not taking any orders from November 9th until December 5th. And we are really sorry for any inconvenience caused by that. Any pre sales or post sales services and consultation via email MIGHT still be responded in longer waiting frame time ( 3- 6 days). So please be patient during that time, I know it is hard to be patient sometimes :) but I got plenty of emails to reply in one day, but since this is the time of the year again for me to take a time off, and spend more time with my family. I will limit my time on replying emails and enjoy a bit of quality time with my family ( Children grow up sooo fast! )

Also in this opportunity, I would like to remind you all , during normal period, sometimes it will takes more than 24 hours for me to get back to you ( emails, chat box, etc) . So , again, your patience will be really appreciated. If after 36 hours , you still did not hear from me, you can send me a gentle reminder or just resend your emails. I do receive plenty of emails daily, most of them are asking about how cloth diapers works, and products knowledge, also beside that, I need to communicate with my suppliers, and keep up with orders, making invoices, pack orders, making calls, and cooking, take my children to school and back, take care of them , and so on and so on ( I guess you all know the list! :-) )
I do my best to reply it as soon as I can, but sometimes even that I want it to, I couldn't. I got only a human power for now. When I will have my super power one day maybe I will do that :-)


However, I know that during our time off next November to early December, it will cause many of you a great inconvenience so Mia Bambina also want to make up for that, so we will have a TREAT for you before we are leaving.

Stay tune for further info.

Cloth Diapers Overwhelmed! And recent updates

I hope you are all in good health and spirit. Mia Bambina just have some restocking for
Drybees small and medium pocket and Wahmies All Day Wetbags.

Soon there will be more on Drybees Fleece pocket ( a night time diapers), More on Drybees Hyrbids AIO and finally Drybees Insert will be back in store.

So what is with the Cloth Diapers overwhelmed ?

There are more and more cloth diapers stores in Malaysia, which is a good sign that the awareness are finally kickin' in. I am glad that this cloth diapers thing can get more and more new moms out here.

And as a e-store that specialize in cloth diapers I am sure that all the other e-stores owner will agree with me , that the choices now can be overwhelming for new comer in Cloth Diapers.

So the bottom line is how to choose?
Which one to start?

I am glad if I receive an email from a mom that wants to try to Cloth Diapered their baby. But sometimes, if the first CD she tried doesn't work, she will be so upset and give up on CD.
Please don't!!
There are many option out there, there are forums for CD now, you can ask around, blog hopping, and find the one that suit your life style and budget too!

Just to share on a few tips on how to choose, and where to buy this CD
1. Type of cloth diapers , as we know there are pocket, fitted, AIO, onesize, AI2, Cover, prefold

2. Material. This is an important thing to consider. Specially if your baby has a very sensitive skin. Some of mass production made diapers , actually have a strong chemicals smell on it. And this might cause concern. ( this is based on my personal experience and are not sold in my e-store)and also if the diapers are made with velcro/aplix closure, make sure it is APLIX as it is different from normal velcro that will be ruin in the matter of months. Aplix is the one we are looking for as it can last long.

3. Price range, there are the low bottom price, medium range and high end diapers with embroidery and such. Choose what you prefer. For me I have the daily diapers, and outing diapers. If you can afford you can spulrge on custom made or embroidery diaper for special occasion ( birthday maybe?) or if you just want to be practical , you can just stick to the basic diapers such as prefold and diaper covers. The choice is endless.

4. You might also consider to buy a well known diapers (there are also a great Malaysian Mom made diapers) . As most of it offer a guarantee. Check it with your seller. If you buy a good quality diapers , this will not be a often case , but still sometime a bad batch diapers can happen. So you can refer back to your seller , if they can replace your 3 months old diaper's elastic free of charge? or snaps? or the stitches ? Can they replace you with a new one if the damage is major?
Mia Bambina offer this service for their customers , email me for details.

5. Last but not least... the seller must have a good knowledge about diapers and at least use it and try it on their own kids or if not ,at least know how the real diapers works and how is the fitting, how to fix the leaking problem, washing etc. They also need to know the material , the type and where is the diapers are made ( if the customer concern about that)

Some or I might say most of my customers worry about the quality more than the price. Most of moms looking for a good quality diapers , diapers that can last long , and be use for the next children but between an affordable price range.

6. Another thing to consider is if you plan to re-sell your cloth diapers after you kids are done with it. Don't be surprise that second hand diapers are in good demand now. So if you have a good quality diapers, you can sell it even after your baby used it in a reasonable price.

So I hope this post will help you to choose and to consider which type of diapers to try and use,what to buy and where to buy it. If you haven't started to use Cloth Diapers and always want to give it a try, you are never too late and you don't have to convert over night! Build your stash slowly, use up the disposable that you have now. Start with 3-6 cloth diapers this month and add more on the next months. And if you are still expecting, try to build up your stash during your pregnancy , buy a few different style but minimize the quantity. When your baby is born, you will see which style suit him better, and if you want to try other brands and style ( big chance you will!! trust me :) ) you can try it later on.

Cloth diapering is a great journey, there will be trial and error sometimes but most of the times it will be GREAT!

Finally a ALL natural bug repellent that smells and feels good on your skin! Our Bug~Away comes in a convenient push~up tube making it easy to carry with you and apply with no mess. Great for the on~the~go families.

Made with a all natural moisturizing stick and all natural essential oils, containing NO DEET or other harsh chemicals. Some of the key ingredients include Catnip Oil, found to be more effective then DEET and Oil of Lemon Eucalyptus, recently recommended by the CDC as a very effective insect repellent.

Packaged in a 2 oz twist~up tube and has a great lemon~citrus natural scent.

All Natural Baby Oil

Another Northern Essence exclusive! Super soft and great to use on baby or yourself...works SUPER on cradle cap. 100% Natural, 100% Pure, contains NO mineral oil. Add to a babies bath or use for a gentle massage. Comes unscented or lightly scented in your choice of natural essential oils.

Diaper Dust

Finally a diaper powder that you can put on a babies bottom and not feel guilty about it! Our diaper dust is Talc~free and will not cause yeast infections. Great for heavy wetters, especially for use during naps and bedtime! Also works well for providing protection from diaper rash.

*The Diaper Dust comes packaged in an attractive 3.5 oz powder puff, sifting container. They are peach in color and have a separate top compartment to keep the powder puff (included) clean between diaper changes.

We used this special container so the powder can be sifted on the puff and then on the baby, not directly on the baby causing powder residue into the air for the baby to breathe in.
