When Skaja was that age, I just used to fold in half and then in half again and use the degradable liners. I didn't worry about the fancy folding.

sorry to be dumb, but when you say 'in half' which way do you mean?

Lewis's mummy, I'm sorry to say that prefolds just aren't that good at holding newborn poo. Like Nelle always says, two layers of defence is best (i.e. leg elastic) so that's a fitted nappy + a cover. At least the cover is keeping the sloppy mess off his clothes. Have you tried kind of rolling the sides of the prefold up and in towards the centre of the nappy? Or, you could get a few more covers just to keep you going till the slop gets a bit more solid?
i found if i used a cut in half folded terry square it was better for the mess .. the mio prefolds didnt really do much for us until he was older ..

Thanks guys. I've got some more fitteds coming so guess we'll just wait and see how things go... does the poo stay so runny until he starts on solids? or does it start to 'thicken up' before then?

My DS's poo didn't change till he started solids, and now it can still be a bit sloppy at times (not like the BF poos though). He stared pooing much less often around the four month mark (I think?), like every few days or so, so the changing pooey nappies wasn't so constant, it was just every now and again.
Eeww... what a yucko post. I HTH.
