What to do with Gerber prefolds!
My MIL bought me 2 dozen prefolds the other day and I was so excited thinking I'd have so many, and wouldn't have to do laundry as often but then after a day of using them and realizing they leaked every time! I asked her where she got them and she said they were the gerber ones at target. I can't use them now

Re: What to do with Gerber prefolds!
How many times have yo washed them? I noticed even after washing them 10+ times they seem to be very soft. but it could just be our water. try washing them in baking soda and some vinegar in a downy ball maybe they might work better.

Re: What to do with Gerber prefolds!
Oh man.
![]() Can I ask how long they were on your baby before they leaked? Two hours? An hour? This just s*cks. |

Re: What to do with Gerber prefolds!
I used them as changing pads (on the changing table)--learned pretty fast to always keep one under DS, as he liked to spray pee everywhere..

with the gerbers when i go to check her for our regular change after an hour or so she has leaked everywhere and her cover is too wet to use again. i usually use wigglewormbottom covers or cot'n wrap and with indian or chinese prefolds i can use the same cover for 2-4 diapers because it doesn't leak through to the cover- but with the gerbers i had to change my cover every time. |

Re: What to do with Gerber prefolds!
I also suggest try washing them some more first.
I've had some of the "good" gerber prefolds and they have worked in pockets with a doubler just fine.

Re: What to do with Gerber prefolds!
I use the gerber pfs and just put in an infant chinese pf for a soaker. My dd has outgrown the infant, but the premium are waaaayyy tooo big. I can snappi or pin the gerber and have the cpf trifolded in the center. it also helps to extend the time you can use the infant size HTH
