Can you use old cotton/polyester sheets are prefolds?

[Muppity]

Pollycotton sheets are usually 50/50 so I don't think that they would make very good prefolds.

But if you did want to use them for something put several layers together and they would make nice burp cloths for your shoulder.

I know no-one has been in this thread for abit but thought i would give it a go....

i want to make some pre-folds.. and these are the materials i have currently...

nappy flannel, blue flannel, and some micro-terry towelling, do you think with a backing of terry towelling then the flannel against bubs butt these would work as prefolds??

[~Raven~]

Yes I think micro terry and flannel would work well
