What are the best PRE-FOLDS? In your opinion?

[DaintreeDream]

As DD was in hospital for the first 3 months and therefore in sposies, I have never has a newborn in cloth, DD went straight to itti bittis and BBB when she was 3 months old.

I have decided to use pre-folds this time around for hopefully the first 3 months or until the baby can fit into Matildas nappies.

What is the best pre-fold in your opinion?

I am planning on using Mother ease Rikki covers and Maz covers (because they are wonderful!)

Your thoughts would be appreciated .

I bought a heap of Booroi prefolds, they seem pretty good, and didnt look wierd after pre-washing. Maz's prefolds look great too if you manage to get them in one of her stockings.

Maybe Maz could do a special order... she would have 7 months to make them .

I second Maz's prefolds!

If you can sew though it's pretty easy to knock some up yourself

I had thought about doing them myself, can't be that hard.

Would you just overlock them? I need to get my overlocker back from my Aunty.

Raven do you know what the best material is to use and measurements?

Do they basically look like the Itti bitti tri-fold booster when they are finished?

Hmm, maybe I will start with a pile of Maz pre-folds if I can get my hands on them and maybe attempt to make some also .

Yep they are pretty easy if you have access to an overlocker Bamboo is a tad hard to get hold of right ATM but I've heard it should be on the way. I made mine with a bamboo micro terry outer for the snappi to grip onto and bamboo fleece on the inner with another strip of bamboo terry in the middle.

A 30cm square is a pretty good size to do. That way you can keep using them as a pocket stuffer or booster later on. You may need to fold the front flap over for the first couple of weeks if bub is tiny

bamboo!

I got cotton ones, useless. One wee and Ash was soaked. Bamboo ones are much better Check buyforbaby as they often have them cheap
