Prefold experts - help please!

Postby docmaggoo » Fri Oct 07, 2011 6:19 pm

My lovely new oww prefolds from the co-op arrived yesterday!
However I've got medium prefolds so they last us, but because of my teeny girl she only fits teeny wraps.

I folded the prefold into a trifold (because that was the simplest one I can do at the moment, but going to branch out)
but it was too long to fit inside the wraps ive got that fit around her skinny legs.
She fits a small cotton bottoms, small rikki although its our size 0 tots bots that fit her the best.

So i can only see a few options working
- wait until she is bigger and then the prefold will fit in a larger wrap :(
- try new wraps - but which will compare in size to the ones that fit her at the moment & still fit the prefold
- try a different fold - ????which ones will make the prefold shorter?

I'm confusing myself by this post as I type - so I hope someone will understand?

Fold it the wrong way round. Instead of folding it with the way the stitching goes, fold it so that the stitching is going horisontally across the prefold once folded. This will make it shorter, and may be short enough for you.
