Folding a Prefold Diaper #2

Here is the other fold that we use in our house. This fold is great for when baby is going coverless because it provides extra layers of absorbency right in the middle without adding extra bulk!

This fold is called the Bikini Twist fold and it is done using a premium chinese prefold diaper:

Step 1) Fold down the top of the diaper about an inch (or more to get a good rise on a smaller baby).


Step 2) Place diaper under baby.


Step 3) Twist the diaper (this is a '180' twist).


Step 4) Bring the diaper up snugly between baby's legs.


Step 5) Fold the top down to get a good rise on baby.


Step 6) Tuck 'wings' in at baby's hips.


Step 7) Bring back wings up on the outside of the front wings.


Step 8) Snappi the 2 top claws.


Step 9) Open up the 'pocket' created by the twist....


Step 10) ... and snappi inside the pocket!!! This keeps the bottom snappi from getting caught on your clothes while carrying baby!!
