Anyone else...
suck at folding flats and prefolds? I see all these pics of super trim flats nicely pinned/snappi'd/boingo'd on babies, and I want to do it so bad. Then I try and it's a sloppy mess. I kinda just stick a cover on and shove in all the loose pieces. Sometimes I get it on there looking pretty good, but then when they stand up, I realize the back of their legs is halfway down their thighs (know what I mean?), and when I try to tuck it in, the whole thing goes wonky.
Prefolds aren't quite as bad, but they're still hit or miss for me. It's so sad...I'm a flat failure. :giggle: ETA: We should share pictures of our flat fiascos! (Assuming I'm not alone) I'll try to get a pic today to share. |
I don't know all of the folds that people on here talk about, so I do a made up common sense fold. Much like yours, it looks a little weird sometimes, but it works. So if yours works you are not a failure either! :-)

I cannot figure out how to fold a flat into anything but a pad fold. I tried the diaper bag fold but there was only one layer of cloth on his hips and there was to way to snappi it

Re: Anyone else...
I am 100% certain you can do it!! You just need to practice. Watch some tutorials and practice some more :) I do what I think is maybe a kite fold and Jellyroll the sides for poop containment.

Yeah, I suck at it too! I just pad fold or trifold in a cover. I actually do use the fancy flat fold for pad folding in a pocket, it's in a thread around here somewhere. But pinning a fold? Forget it!
My iDevices are out to get me. Please excuse mistakes. :) |
Re: Anyone else...
This is how I figured out the origami fold and Ive been practicing for when LO arrives. I find it the simplest out of all of them for some reason. The tutorial for the Kite Fold I still havent watched but looking at the instructions they dont look that intimidating. Again on the baby and on a teddy are 2 different things :giggle2:. The last site is really nice it has the step by step instructions on ALL of the folds as well as a video if you scroll down the bottom. We will see when the baby gets here.
I used to be a chaotic mess with prefolds years ago, but found out the more you do it the easier it gets. |
The way I learned was by forcing myself to use nothing but flats for a day, and we went cover less so I was changing constantly. By the end of the day my skills had improved a lot!

I'm miserable at folding flats, and I so desperately want to be good.

I can pull it off, but I never get it as neatly as I'd like to. That's why I hate 'em!
