Prefolds

Example:  Cotton Prefolds

• The modern equivalent of terry flats
• Rectangle, but with extra layers in the middle for extra absorbency
• Various folds can be used
• Done up with pins or a snappi; or laid inside a nicely fitting cover
• Need a liner (if desired) and a cover
• Great for newborns, as they have lots of changes and are cheap, but aren’t as absorbent as most fitteds
• Useful later, as they can be used to boost or stuff fitted or pocket nappies, or for spares
