How to fold a prefold cloth diaper - "Jelly roll"

This is my favorite way to fold and fasten a prefold diaper. Blow-outs are rare, and combined with a good cover, clothes are pretty much always spared the mess.

First, start with naked baby in need of a diaper.



I like to fold the back part under and lay her on top. That "lip" of diaper keeps the poo-splosions from going up the back.



The I roll each side in like so...



And so



Take the rolled parts up between the legs



And then fan them out to each side



Grab the corners of diaper from behind



And fasten!



Cover, and you're done!

  1. I don't know who you are or anything about you, but I ended up on your blog via about 12 different links beginning at lifehacker.com...

    For some reason these 3 posts make me feel that future posts would continue to be interesting to me. I know there's not much on this site right now, but I'm going to bookmark you and check back every week or so. I hope you get around to posting more. So far, so interesting.

  2. Oh boy! Where were you 32 yrs ago when I had my son. They had disposable diapers back then but he was allergic so had to use cloth diapers. No problem, but I had to use regular baby safety pins. What are you using to close with? Love the soaker. Rubber pants were harsh.
