Prefold Advice

BabyQuizzle

I have a 2 1/2 week old little girl who is a very heavy wetter.  Which fold would work best for this kid? We typically do an angel wing fold and have tried a bikini twist once which resulted in our only blowout.  It may have been user error but I had it as tight at possible and don't know where I went wrong.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

At that age I liked the angle fold with a snappi - changed every 1.5 hours.

agreed... I try and be sure the sides completely cover the bum, and be sure the prefold is COMPLETELY covered by the cover. how much does your LO weigh? Mine is currently 9.6# and I think we need to graduate to sm vs. newborn prefolds... could that be another reason you're having blow outs?

** I meant to quote the PP... agree with angel fold with snappi

I've always had good luck with the jelly roll.
