How to Fold Cloth Diapers

There are many different types of cloth diapers that you can buy so the techniques vary depending on the style of diaper you choose. There are standard cotton diapers that are available to you at most department stores such as Wal-Mart. The best way to use these diapers for maximum efficiency is to invest in some hemp liners to go in the middle. These liners are available in many different varieties as well. You can buy hemp diapers such as Baby Kicks Hemparoo, which work well as liners buy not so much as outer diapers because they do not work well with snappis.

Snappis are this wonderful little invention which have replaced pins. No more pain in diapering! A snappi has 3 claws which grab onto the fabric and hold the diaper in place.		your ad here

There are many different brands and styles that you can choose from. The MotherEase, Re-Uz-Em, etc., all work very well and have good sizing for the growth of your child.
Getting started folding
Start with the rectangular cotton diaper and lay it down so the seamed side is facing you.
Place the liner in the middle.
Fold the sides in.
Grab the top corners of the diaper and fold them out.
The corners will be the fastening tabs. Lay the diaper baby side up on top of the cover.
Putting the diaper on your baby
Lay your baby down onto the diaper.
Be sure to place baby in the middle so there is enough room to pull the front up to close. Grab the top corners and pull into the middle of the front flap.
Attach your snappi to the corner tabs and the middle of front flap.
Fasten your buttons on the cover.

Now your baby is ready to play.

You can purchase other types of diapers online that are a little more costly but work well. There are diapers with built in liner slots and velcro closing. There are also fleece diapers with liner inserts which are an excellent choice, but costly.
Which ever diaper you choose the best part about cloth diapers is all the money you save and what a difference you are making in the world.

A great and almost necessary addition to cloth diapering is rice paper liners. You can purchase these liners online through several different stores. You place the liner on top of the diaper before putting in on your baby and the liner protects the diaper from undesirable waste sticking to the diaper. This makes clean up much easier since all you have to do is flush the biodegradable liners down the toilet. Another plus is that you can use the liners 3+ times before they fall apart so if your baby only wets you just wash the liner in the washing machine and reuse!
