Using Washable Nappies

If you are using cotton pre-folds, you will notice that the fabric has a thicker strip in the middle and is thinner down each side like this...

Flat prefold

You can fold them however you like but here are my suggestions;

For a baby boy
Fold the thinner strips of fabric behind the middle thicker strip, you should have a long pad of cotton. Nappyfold1
Fold the top third down towards you and the bottom third behind. You should have a concertina shape like this. Nappyfold2
Place on the wrap or cover with one of the folds at the back of baby's bottom and two folds at his front. Remember to have the seams of the cotton away from the baby.If you are using boosters and/or flushable liners put them on top of the cotton. Nappyfold3
For a baby girl
Keeping the thicker strip vertical, fold the top third down onto the cotton and then repeat with the bottom third. Nappyfold4
You will have a log strip of material with the middle bit thicker than the sides. Nappyfold5
Place the cotton in the wrap or cover, making sure that the seams are away from the baby. If you are using boosters and/or flushable liners put them on top of the cotton. Nappyfold6


Dizzy Diaper birth to potty nappy

Small babies - use the poppers along the gusset of the nappy to make the nappy shorter in the body. Place any boosters or flushable liners on the nappy. Place the baby on the nappy and bring the front half between the legs of the baby.


Bring the left side (the side without the label) across the babies tummy and fasten to poppers on the front of the nappy, they can be fastened all the way round to the right on young babies. Nappyfold7
Then bring the right side over the baby's tummy and fasten to either the front of the nappy or the poppers on the left side of the nappy with young babies. Nappyfold8
For older babies, the poppers of the nappy are fastened along the edge of the front panel. Nappyfold9
