whats your favourite terry flat fold?

[MumtoJordan]

I use the kite fold but have to fold a sepreate flat into a rectangle and put it in the middle to get more than an hour out of it lol! So looking for different sugestions. I have an 18 month old boy if that helps.

i hae 2 faves, but i dont know what they're called!!
i like the one where yuu fold it into a diamond using two adjacent corners and then fold the top down and the bottom up, i think that's the kite one yuur talking about.
and then there's the one where yuu fold it in half and then bring one corner over to make a triangle on one side and then yuu turn it over and fold the square side over to the middle a few times. that may not make sense =p but if some bdoy knows what it's called yuuc ould look itup on google or something! =]

i find that we either have to have a nappy cover or another towel folded and put in the middle otherwise our daughter wets straight through it with the first or second wee!!!

Yep the first i the kite... no idea on the second lol! So I'm not weird for putting anothey flat in the middle? :laughing:

We used the kite, but with an extra fold for boys. :)

Before you start the fold you turn about 2 inches in on the one side, then start the kite fold. You get an extra strip of fabric through the middle to help obsorb the wee! :D

i looked at that site and the other one i'm talking about is referred to one there as the night kite. =]

Im a little sad, we used Terry's for Oliver until he was about 10 months. This time we have no washing maching, so it probably wont be possible. :(

we have no washing machin eithjer!!!
i take them to my mums house or jonah takes them to his parents, or we have a friend whos house we can do our washing at occasionally, or could yuu go to a laundromat? =]

yeah i use the kite for my dd but because i had so many flats i cut a heap of them up into 1/2 rectangles and i fold that to make an extra pad in the middle too.

with ds - i use the one that says nite kite. with the extra bit in the middle. this fold will be harder when he gets older so i don't know if that will work for you.

i also have some pockets and fitted nappies that i love for going out. i find that i can get longer out of a pocket nappy than i can with a flat terry.

if you google the nappy lady that site has more folds on it. a lot of people on here like the jo fold but i find it a bit tricky.

i like the bat fold, but it doesnt work well on bigger babies unless you have big nappies, which i made a few flats with extra wide flanellette :)

[MumtoJordan]

Thanks guys. Whats a good value brand of cover? Up till now I've been using PVC covers from Kmart :eek::laughing:!

I like the JO fold, but I have a girl, I think we used the chinese bat fold on our son for the most part.

As for covers - we've used either Bummis Super Whisper Wraps or Baby Beehinds PUL covers. But our love at the moment is wool - longies for winter, and shorties/soakers for summer.

I use the neat fold on the nappy lady site. I can remember helping Mum fold like this for my lil bro & sis.
