Which Fold?!

[Hollybolly]

OK, so I've been looking at The Nappy Lady's site as thats what everyone has told me to do in regards to checking out instructions & Youtube videos on all of the different types of folds for flats/prefolds.

After going through them, I noticed the kite fold was the one I used with DS & his terry flats oh so many years ago

So my question is - what fold do you find the best? (especially for prefolds as thats what I'll be using).

Is there one that is better suited for little boys, or do you find one fold in particular works well for both sexes regardless?

Thanks in advance

I found the jo fold to be the best for me even when they were teeny tiny babies

if ur using prefolds u dont have to fold u just fold in thirds separate the back part bring it around the baby and so up with snappis i normally just fold and place in the cover and put on but for NB i probablydo it the other way and extra line of defense against expolisive poos

Yeah I do my prefolds like J says - fold in thirds, flip the back out to make wings, and fold around baby to the front, fasten with snappi. When they are really teeny, I also fold over the part at the front otherwise its too long.

With flats, I only ever used the pad fold - I think thats what its called.. lol.. the one where the thicker part is running down the middle.

Yep, I did mine that way too... its also called the Chinese Fold, .... it puts all the padding down the middle, great for girls and esp boys!!

Thanks girls

J, Jodie & Mel - from what you're explaining, it sounds pretty much the Jo fold which Rach has said - I was thinking that was the one to go with as The Nappy Lady says its the most absorbent one for NB.

Thankyou ladies
