Prefold tutorial with pics!! ALL FOLDS

Maybe we can make this a sticky. Ok, a lot of mama's keep requesting to see prefold tutorials on all the different folds. I did every fold I know of with the exception of the side fold for side sleepers. My DD was VERY wiggly today so the folds are not entirely crisp and tight but it's to give you the basic fold so you can follow.

Anyone feel free to add your photos of your favorite folds and tips to help out prefold newbies!

The Newspaper Fold:


Lay your prefold out flat and fold up the front about 1 1/2-2 inches

Again, I apologize that the folds are not entirely neat, She was twisting like crazy today! But it should still help.
