Known as the workhorse of cloth diapers, find out why you should consider having at least a few prefolds in your stash. Also in this video I discuss how to prep your prefolds and some of the lesser-known cons of prefolds as well. pros of prefolds: 1. Can get a small one that actually fits a newborn 2. Inexpensive 3. Organic natural fabric 4. Versatile- you can use them with a cover and fold them many different ways. 5. Stuffed into a pocket diaper 6. Used as a doubler for overnight 7. Will often last through multiple children 8. Used as a burp cloth 9. Can be used as an overnight breast pad for those first few weeks of breastfeeding. 10. Used as re-usable absorbent cleaning cloths after last baby is out of diapers 11. Large pre-folds can be used as a blanket for small babies 12. Don't hold stink 13. Easily rinse clean in the wash 14. Can be boiled for stripping purposes, if your baby gets thrush, or if you are camping The Consfor prefolds are: 1. Organic pre-folds have to be prepped before using 2. They take forever to dry 3. Take a little extra time to put on the baby 4. If used overnight (not as a doubler) for heavy wetters- it really would need to be a large pre-fold and would be very bulky To me these are a great day-time diaper, great diaper for newborns, and when wrapped around the baby and snappi'd they hold in breast-fed poop far better than AI-2's or pockets due to having an extra gusset formed around the leg.
