Tracking of baby's intake & output
If you have any of the below questions, which I do...then tracking the intake/output of baby, similar to what the hospitals do, could be the way to go...
- when was last feed and how much was it? when is next feed?
- how much has baby drank in the day?
- is the number of feeds sufficient? (check number of times of urine/output...or the looks of the output..)

Disposable Diapers...
Mamy Poko
* CK (the provision store...NOT tangs!) selling S$15.95 for NB52 i.e. 31 cents each
* NTUC promo (May10) selling S$19.95 for S72 (28 cents) & M66 (30 cents)
* good and comfortable looking. Tape is restickable and won't stick on clothes/baby. Cutting on the bigger end
(+) very good and can hold urine and poo well. chillychino @May10
PetPet
* looks comfy and leg gathers fits well, low price
* Cutting on the small side
(+) Good and cheap, value for $ but the tape is a bit strong and sticky. Chillychino @May10
Pampers
- Good absorbancy, thin and light, soft.
- Downside is that they're expensive. About $0.45 per piece
Nepia
- Has an indicator like Pampers but absorbancy is not as good
- The cut is bigger so if your baby is big, you can try this brand
- It's also sold in NTUC though can be bought from their online site and it was delivered to my doorstep. About $0.25 per piece if order online
(+) Similar to Pamper Stages, absorbs well, cottony soft & has blue indicator lines
Goon
Huggies Ultra
- Really prevents nappy rash
- Expensive
(+) Very good absorbency, thick and soft
(-) Too thick, afraid will be too warm
Huggies Dry Comfort
- Good absorbency
- Wait for promotion to buy. Usually promotion is at Cold Storage and Shop N Save where they sell 2 packs for $31+.
- If you need a bigger cutting, you can also try Huggies Pull-ups. Their cutting is slightly bigger and it's stretchable at the sides
Dryers
(fern)
* the sticky tape tend to stick on baby's legs, unlike MamyPoko which does not
* sticky tapes less re-usable, less convenient in checking if time to change nappies
Drypo
