How to fold a cloth nappy

1.

Fold nappy in half to
make a triangle.

2.

Fold the long edge across to make it thicker.

3.

This is the weird part. Flick the long edge (where it is thick) under itself to make it doubly thick.

4.

Unfold the top half of the triangle (you'll end up with a diamond that has a thick section down the middle).

5.

Fold it across the other way (this gives you a nappy shape with a thick pad down the middle).

Nappy is usable now - put baby on it lined up with the thick pad under its bum. Pull the pad up between it's legs and fold the side (triangle) panel across. Secure with a pin or one of those clip things. For smaller babies, the side panels need a little roll/fold to make them smaller and tighter around the legs. Takes a bit of practice, but you'll get it nice and snug soon enough.

To store folded nappies, do a few more folds:

6.

Fold up the middle thick part

7.

Fold one of the side panels across.

8.

Fold the other side panel across and the little flap leftover back again giving you a nice neat package for storage.

9.

The finished pile, ready for use. They hold this shape really well for transportation too.
