Diaper Covers and Prefolds = Great Solution

Cloth diapering can be as easy as a prefold covered by a  leak resistant diaper cover.
  • Get a diaper cover

  • Get a good quality prefold (my favorite are the unbleached Indian Prefolds)

Take your prefold and do a quick Angel Fold (Tuck the front of the prefold inward to adjust the rise, also note that this works great for extra front absorption for baby boys.

*If you have a heavy wetter add a doubler/booster into the center of your fold*                                
                                                          

After you have done this, all you need to do is cover your prefold!
Unless it is your preference no  Pins or Snappis are needed.
(a wrap style diaper cover will work best with this option).



           
Diaper Covers can be found at reasonable prices, which makes them a bonus if you are working on saving money. Diaper covers do not all look like plastic pants, for example all of my diaper covers (mommy made of course) are fleece wraps. I take a couple layers of a good Anti-Pill fleece cut, sew and there I have my diaper cover. Another solution for making a mommy made diaper cover would be to use PUL or Wool. They can pull up or wrap, whatever you choose. I find that the pull up style diaper covers work best with fitted diaper. There are different styles of covers look up Soakers, Skirties, and Longies.
