Moving to size 2 prefolds

Hi CD moms!

My LO is getting close to 15 pounds, and the Osocozy size 1 prefolds are getting close to being too small. I bought three packs of the size 2, and just finished the third wash/rinse/dry prep. So I don't think they'll shrink any more, but they seem huge! If you're a fan of prefolds, how did you use these bigger ones at first? Should I fold down the front, back or both? Mobile bumpies, LO is a girl, if that affects the fold. Any specific folds that work best when they're big? I haven't tried one yet, but they seem like they're going to be super bulky and huge for a while!  

Thanks in advance for your advice!

Re: Moving to size 2 prefolds

  • We use GMD prefolds which have a few more sizes I think. But, when LO was ready to size up I folded the front down a bit abd then went about my regular folding (jelly roll usually). LO is a girl too and a tummy sleeper, hopefully that helps. They do seem really big at first when we move to a new size, but within a week or so I usually stopped folding them down.

  • It's usually easier to fold in the back, and that generally makes it a little easier to get a good fit with the cover too. We fold over in the back with the angel wing and its not hard since the back stays flat.

    Yep we found folding down in the back was easier too. I also really like bikini twist when prefolds are long. It takes up a lot of extra length.

  • I used GMD newborn prefolds and then went to Sweet Pea Infant size (they only have 3 sizes). I have a boy but fold down the back. I find that it's easier to fold the back and still have the covers fit well. When I fold down the front it's just too bulky and the covers don't go on as tightly. My mom says the front makes more sense because he pees in the front, but the back is just easier to jelly roll and snappy, and is less bulky.
