Prefolds are the most economical way to cloth diaper your baby. If you are looking for the most economical way to diaper your baby (or just want the most time-tested method) consider Prefolds. Unlike the kind you will find at a discount store, the high-quality Prefolds sold in our natural baby boutique are made to withstand hundreds of washings. They begin as rectangular-shaped diapers that are divided into three sections. The outer sections usually have a thickness of four layers. To provide absorbency where it's needed, the center section has six or eight layers. The layers are defined on the prefold packaging as 4-6-4 (four outer layers and six center layers) or 4-8-4 (four outer layers and eight center layers). To use Prefolds, simply fold and secure with diaper fasteners or secure with a quality diaper cover.

A 2x6x2 preemie prefold and a newborn size diaper cover work well to allow the air to circulate around the baby's umbilical cord to promote faster healing. These diapers can be used later as diaper doublers without the bulk.

With modern diaper covers, you don't even need to use a cloth diaper fastener. Simply fold your  prefold cloth diapers into thirds, placing them inside a diaper cover. Close the snug fitting Velcro-type closure, making sure that all of the cloth diaper is inside of the cover. It's that easy!

We use a mix of manufacturers for our prefolds inventory including OsoCozy, Tiny Tush and Green Earth Textiles so that we can ship your item as quickly as possible.  If you have a manufacturer preference please put it in the comments and we will try to accommodate you.
