So, there are so many ways to use a prefold, but I thought I’d try to show a few folds.
You will need:

Here we go!
Motta Motta is my son’s bear. No clue where the name came from, but it’s his best friend and he will be joining us today. Thank you Motta Motta.
Meet Motta Motta’s diaper. It’s not a prefold, but my son had me make it for him and so here it is.
Now, onto the prefolds!
This is how I fold a prefold on my daughter. She doesn’t have BF poo anymore and this gives her a trim diaper. I find it easy to do and so I thought I’d share, since this is really the only one I have a lot of experience with.
In addition to all of these folds you can simply lay the prefold in the cover after trifolding it. This works fine for wet diapers and is fast and easy for older babies. It can tend to sag in the diaper with movement because it’s not secured in any fashion. It also is not good for containing breastfed and other looser bowel movements.
I hope that some of this has helped you

This looks great!
Looks awesome!
Nice pics–but what is the difference between angel wing and newspaper? I'm not getting it….
Yea, I don't see much of a difference either. I think it's how/when it's folded down… Meh!
I was just going to ask what the difference between the newspaper and angel wing fold was too?!! I guess maybe whoever “developed” it just called it something different? Seems you'd only need to fold down the back if the prefold was too big, right?
I’m very pleased to discover this web site. I wanted to thank you for your time just for this fantastic read!! I definitely savored every little bit of it and i also have you bookmarked to look at new stuff in your site.
Are there any reasons to use one fold over another?
I got this web page from my friend who shared with me on the topic of
this web site and now this time I am visiting this site and reading very
informative articles at this place.
Oh my goodness! Such a great tutorial! I've been wondering how to do prefolds forever and waiting for a tutorial like this one.
The difference between the angelwing and newspaper is that with the newspaper you fold down the prefold essentially making it shorter…then cross one side and then the other side crosses and fits into the little “pocket” that the first crossed over part makes. With the angelwing you're not folding it down first.
) hth!
Your style is so unique in comparison to other people I have
read stuff from. Thank you for posting when you have the opportunity, Guess I will

Hello would you mind stating which blog platform you’re working with? I’m
going to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having a hard time choosing between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something unique.
P.S Apologies for getting off-topic but I had to ask!
I know this is an older post, but I'm expecting a surprise baby boy after having two girls. Are there any folds you prefer for a boy, particularly a newborn boy? Thank you so much, this is incredibly helpful!
Great site. A lot of useful information here. I am sending it to several pals ans additionally sharing in delicious.
And of course, thanks on your effort!
If your diaper needs folded down, they recommend folding it down at the front of the diaper for a boy
Everyone loves what you guys are up too. This kind of clever work and exposure!

Thanks so much for all the pictures. I only used the newspaper fold on my last baby but I think I want to get a little more adventurous with this new one on the way:)
Congratulations and I hope they help! I loved the jelly roll method for younger babes. It is great for containing messes.
Heya i’m for the first time here. I found this board and I in finding It really useful & it helped me out much. I hope to give one thing back and help others like you helped me.
This is so helpful! We are expecting in 4-5 weeks and decided to go the cover/prefold route. This is going to help so much! I saw that you recommend the jellyroll fold for newborns- does it matter if its on a little girl or boy? We’re having a girl.
