Best way to use a prefold?

rdhmama79

Our first baby is due in 6 weeks, and we are planning on cloth diapering.  We plan on using mostly pocket diapers, but we received some prefolds and covers at the baby shower.  The prefolds are Kushies flat diapers.  Any tips on the best way to fold a flat diaper for a boy?  What fold works best for you?  And anyone ever use Kushies flat diapers?  I can't seem to find many reviews online.

I love prefolds.  We started using them when DD was 3 weeks old.  We used the newspaper fold until about a week ago and now use the jelly roll fold, thanks to some advice from the bump!

We will be using prefolds until she is out of the newborn size, we have Green Mountain prefolds and some workhorse diapers from GM, which I absolutely love!

 

Good luck!

Are they flats or prefolds?  We used prefolds (from cottonbabies) during our preemie/newborn stage and used the bikini twist fold which seemed to work really well.  We rarely had poop get on the cover.  I don't know anything about the Kushies brand though.  HTH

We used angel wing fold.

I have heard negative things about Kushies prefolds, so just be aware of that. I have heard they are not very absorbant.
