The Roll Fold for Boys – Folding Flats / Flat Diapers

A somewhat complicated fold, it’s great for boys since much of it’s absorbancy or layers is focus in the front. **If you find that any fold I present is too small for your child, you can always start with your flat in the full size (rather than folded twice into a smaller square), add another flat on top so that you’re working with two layers, then complete the fold; or you can start with the full flat, complete the fold, and add absorbency in the middle.

The “Jo” Fold – Folding Flats / Flat Diapers

This is a demonstation of the Jo Fold for a newborn. You can also adapt this fold to a toddler. Instead of folding the flat in half twice to start, skip that, and just start following the instructions of the video. The only other difference is that you will need to add an insert or prefold (that’s been folded in thirds) before the flat gets folded into thirds for extra absorbancy. **Another option for the toddler size is putting two flats together to start, then fold in all four corners so that they meet in the middle…and follow the directions in the video from there. If you have a heavy wetter or for nighttime, add a prefold (in addition to the second flat) in the middle for extra absorbency after you’ve brought the four corners to meet in the middle, then finish the fold.

OsoCozy Flat Cloth Diapers – 6 Pack (Bleached/White) – These old fashion nappies are made of soft 100% cotton and are a Birdseye weave.

This is a larger version of the traditional kite fold. When folding the wings over, you can fold them in first (unlike what I did) if they’re too long, so that it ends with nicer/crisper finish. Remember to add an insert or prefold to the middle of your diaper for extra absorbency.

Gaynor’s Fold for Girls – Folding Flats / Flat Diapers

Similar in shape to the triangle (but with more focused absorbancy) and similar in absorbancy to the origami (just not as confusing for those who are confused by the origami fold), and it offers a nice middle size between the newborn version of the origami fold and the bigger version of the origami fold. It’s great for girls and folds neatly. **Flats are so versatile! If you find that any fold I present is too small for your child, you can always start with your flat in the full size (rather than folded twice into a smaller square), add another flat on top so that you’re working with two layers, then complete the fold; or you can start with the full flat, complete the fold, and add absorbency in the middle.

A basic fold that can be adapted to fit newborns as well.

Maria’s Fold for Boys – Folding Flats / Flat Diapers
