Favorite newborn fold?

post #1 of 6
Thread Starter 
I'm new to cloth and have a stash of infant prefolds + Thirsties Duo covers. Now, I am curious what fold you all prefer to contain the newborn poo and minimize leaks.

Please share!

I mostly used angel wing as a nb, bikini twist while non mobile, but now that hes crawling/walking, the jelly roll.

Any links to where instructions to these folds can be found?

I like this site for directions http://diaperpages.com/pf_folds.php
I've used the angel wing for newborn and I still use it now at 9 months because it has always worked great for us. Now that DD is standing and walking around, maybe I'll have to try something new, I don't know yet.

The only one that really seems to contain the runny nb bf poo for our little chunky-thighed super-soaker boy is the "jelly roll". It was also the only one I could ever seem to remember those first few weeks, lol. I didn't exactly "roll" the sides, though, I more folded them in twice, over each other, and after I snappi'd it, I tucked the legs in wherever they didn't seem tight enough on the thighs. Sounds more complicated than it is. I just discovered that you can trifold them and not snappi when using Bummis or ImseVimse, but it certainly does seem to result in more leakage onto the covers, so I think I'll let DH do that (so he doesn't complain about not being able to do it right), and I'll continue to roll the legs.

Happy Diapering!

The angel wing with snappi has been working well for us.
