Prefolds Made Simple

bouncingbabiesblog — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 01:53:14 +0000

Without further ado, here is the first entry by our guest blogger! Libby has a vast knowledge of prefolds, so if you have any questions please feel free to comment here for her. You can also contact us directly if you prefer!

Sometimes new and improved doesn’t mean better. Prefolds are a perfect example of this. Affordable and functional, prefolds can be a wonderful choice when deciding to cloth diaper. With multiple kinds of covers, types of folds and ways to fasten (pins and Snappis), they really are a versatile choice when cloth diapering. I prefer simple when using prefolds and use 2 different folds, the tri-fold and quad-fold. Using these 2 folds requires a snug fitting PUL cover or wool wrap. Tri-folding and laying in a snug fitting cover is simple and effective. Simply lay the prefold flat on the ground, longest edges vertical, and fold three times and lay flat inside a cover. Basically you have just created an all in two diaper. There will be extra diaper in the front which requires folding in. This extra amount can be great when diapering a boy by increasing absorbency in the wet zone.

If you find tri-folding leaves too much in the front creating extra bulk, quad-folding will cut down on excess. Simply lay the prefold flat on the ground, longest edges horizontal, and fold into fours. This fold fits perfectly in covers with a liner to accept both ends of your prefold. To me, the biggest benefit of quad-folding is when you tuck the ends in the cover you get no sliding around of the prefold. This also allows you to use a prefold that may be a bit to large for your baby thus cutting down on purchasing multiple sizes.

Of course, for a perfectly snug fit you can use pins or Snappis. Using pins and Snappis allows for the use of a variety of different covers. A simple traditional fold for use with a Snappi or pins is a variation on the tri-fold. Again, lay the prefold flat with the long edges vertical. Tri-fold the prefold then open the top to create a spot for your baby’s bum. Lay baby on top and fold up the front. Grab one edge from the back and bring forward to grab with a Snappi or pin. Repeat on the other side. If using a Snappi, then pull the center hook down towards you and secure firmly. I prefer folding because my babies figure out both pins and Snappis very early on, but if I need a very trim option I pull out my pins.

Prefolds can be a great choice if you have chosen cloth diapering to save money. They can also be your best friend if rash or irritation becomes a problem for your baby. Non diaper safe creams can be used with prefolds as they can be boiled and laundered more harshly than other types of cloth diapers.

Don’t be afraid of prefolds! They really are a simple and natural way to cloth diaper.

Laundry – How do I Wash my Cloth Diapers?!

bouncingbabiesblog — Thu, 20 Oct 2011 14:00:00 +0000

One of the most pressing questions when deciding to cloth diaper, is ‘How am I going to wash these?’ We have found that the best thing to do is start with the most basic routine possible and then adjust as necessary. Everyone has different diapers, different detergent and different water, but typically we’ve found that a basic routine is the best! Here is the most basic routine:

Rinse or do a short wash cycle on Cold with no detergent
Long/Heavy Duty cycle on Hot with detergent (Warm when washing fitted cloth diapers).
Extra Rinse on Cold or Warm if you can.

*If you have the option of rinsing on Warm, this works better at removing residue and buildup.

**If using a front loading wash machine, utilize your ‘add water’ function and add a wet towel to your wash drum or dump a bucket of water on top of your diapers. Your diapers will absorb the water and both of these methods will make your washer think your load is heavier than it is causing it to use more water. Do this in your rinse and wash cycles! Water is your friend when washing cloth diapers!

***If you see any suds in your water, you will need to continue to rinse until your suds are gone to prevent detergent buildup.

There you have it! This is an easy and basic wash routine that works very well for most people. If you have any questions or are having trouble with your wash routine, please feel free to leave us a comment our use our contact us link to email us and we will try to help you out!
