Angel wing fold...

TCsbride · August 2009

is there any other way to fold them that will make them "wider" I guess? I'm not sure if DD just has big hips or if I'm doing something wrong, but the orange edge GMD never did go around her waist so I could snappi, so I just tri-folded it. Now she's having too big of blow outs for tri-fold, so I tried the angle wing fold and it's barely big enough with red edged GMD. I have to snappi it really tight to get it over the center part enough. So am I doing something wrong? (looks just like the pictures/videos online) OR Is there a better fold I could use?

We just fan out the top edges a little so there is more overlap, and it works just fine.

Can you take a picture? It's so hard to judge PF folds without seeing them, you know?

I always let the top front part fold back out again so it's not trifolded like what is in between his legs, if that makes sense. I don't know if that changes anything for you or not. ?

We use the red GMD's and dd is 15 months, 21lbs and 31in. When you pull it up in the front, do you unfold the front to make it wider? I personally like the jellyroll fold for bf blowout poop. Maybe pip so we can see? I will try to pip when dd wakes up so you can see how I do it, not that I am an expert by any means, but they definitely fit her.

I'm not at home to take an actual picture of it on DD, but this is exactly what mine looks like before I put it on DD:

Then I of course fold up the front (bottom of picture) and then fold the "wings" over the top. But it barely goes over her hips and then the snappi has to stretch so far that it's really tight on her.

Once you fold up the front, pull the front corners out, so they cover her hips and pull the back wings over that to snappi. Does that make sense?

Ditto lolabean - once it's between her legs, unfold the front so it's not trifolded and so it's wider.

Maybe try the jellyroll fold? I know there are some good videos on youtube that demo it. Also, my LO is in very small diapers still and there isn't a lot of extra room... I lay her flat on the diaper unfolded, then fold in the middle and then pull up the front unfolded, then snappy (so the front and back look like the top of the diaper in the posted pic, and only the middle is folded.... I think that's similar to what others are saying. HTH!

Duh, never even thought of fanning out the front part too! I'm sure that'll work perfect. I'm going to try that jelly roll though too.....that might be better around her legs. Thanks!
