Folding a Prefold Diaper #1

We use chinese prefolds to diaper our babies here... I have tried many, many folds, and I have found 2 that work the best for us! Below is the one that I use most often...

This fold is a cross between an angel wing fold and a jelly roll fold using a premium diaper:

Step 1) Fold top edge of diaper down about an inch (or more if using a premium diaper on a smaller baby). This helps get a good rise and also helps keep the poo from going up baby's back!


Step 2) Place diaper under baby.


Step 3) Fold edges in towards middle.


Step 4) Roll edges in towards middle.


Step 5) Bring diaper up snugly between baby's legs.


Step 6) Open up the top of the diaper to make 'wings.'


Step 7) Fold down the top of the diaper to get a good rise on the baby.


Step 8) Tuck the wings in around baby's hips.


Step 9) Bring the back wings up on the outside of the front wings.


Step 10) Snappi the diaper!!


This is how the diaper should fit around the legs:



It may take a bit of practice to get the hang of this fold, and to be able to make it tight enough!
