The pad fold is my FAVORITE fold... so let’s just be real about that 😂 but if I’m securing a flat around my babies then this is my go-to! Plus it doesn’t need a closure ❤️
Omgosh!!! The way you modified this origami is just what I needed to see and now learn. It will be perfect for my center/front wetting girl. Thank you so much for this!
. You're the best J. I would've given up cloth diapering if I hadn't found you. Seriously. I was failing😒This and the Pickman are the only folds I use. If any of you don't know, find her video on cutting your own diapers. You'll save a ton
I love this so much. I have pocket diapers right now but my little one STAYS wetting through them at night. I got some flats to try and I've watched this video like 10 times in a row to get the hang of it lol. I even practiced on my older kids big baby doll lol. Thank you so much for this.
Jay, I just wanted to let you know that this fold is brilliant!!! ❤️❤️❤️ Thank you very much for this video!! I was very disappointed with other folds and thinking maybe cloth diapers are not for us and your video was a real blessing! We use it now since about 4 months and we love it😃❤️ I shared your fold on Polish cloth diaper Facebook group and other moms love it as well ☺️☺️ Greetings from Poland ❤️
I only bought four flats to try out since I’ve been doing the aio route. Fiancé hated them. They weren’t easy to secure around our baby the way I folded. This fold is PERFECT. Thank you 😍 I need more flats now lol this is a game changer for sure!
Definitely going to try this modification. This is hands down my favorite flat fold but loosing some of the bulk in back sounds amazing since my daughter is normally dry back there anyways!!
If I could add a photo I would - you finally explained how to fold a flat in a way I could understand it and oh my word it actually worked!!!! I've successfully folded a flat 😁 Now I feel like I need to find some SH stretchy flats 😍 thank you for the video!!!
Thank you for sharing this mod! I'm new to cloth diapers and I've been struggling with getting folds to work for me. I tried this immediately after watching and I finally got a good fit!
Omfg why have I never tried that adjusted absorbency trick before?! I loved being able to tuck the wings like that when Eren was a newborn. The origami fold is my favorite. 😀 Great informative video as always Jacqueline!
What! Where was youtube when I had my first baby 15 years ago and why am I binging on diaper videos? This is brilliant. If I had another I am sold on stretchy flats lol.
Such a helpful video. Thank you!! ❤️ I’ve tried several kinds of cloth diapers and have fallen in love with flats and FSTs to stuff pocket diapers with. But I have some covers I don’t want to sit unused so I’m going to try this out! Love that there’s no fasteners. I don’t need more “stuff!”
Awesome 👏 when I used flats with my other baby’s I just pad folded because I guess I was intimidated by other types of folds, but I think I will like this one with baby number 3. She’s going to be here sooner than anticipated because my placenta is starting to have problems 😬 it’s twice as thick as it should be with a couple small holes and is starting to calcify. So at the latest she will be here on March 1st instead of the 13th. I’m so ready to just have her here already it’s been a stressful few weeks.
Thank you for this video! Super helpful! I can’t wait to try the modified version on my son! He never needs any absorbency in the back either. Never thought to do that! And o my goodness those chunky baby legs 😍 she’s so cute!
Hi, I am new to flats and slowly building my stash. Kindly tell me can flats be used for more than one pee? Are there specific cloth materials for this purpose? Or do they always need to be changed after every pee?
Oh my goodness! Why does my baby have to be asleep when I see this!!! 😂 I love to jelly roll my origami fold, makes it a little trimmer. But the back bulk hack!!!! I can’t wait to try that out! 😍 and that flat is gorgeous!
I real love the fold thanks. But i am in need of cloth diapers if you can connect me to get them i tried to look them in my country but to no avail. I am in Tanzania
Can you do this fold with the imagine bamboo stretchy flat ? Do you know if that is 2 or 4 way strechie? If it's 2 how do I fold to get that way strech in the wings ? Thank you ❤
stretchy flats are the best for this fold. I wasnt a fan of it with a non-stretchy. I think imagine is 2way which isnt appealing to me because my mind is having a hard time figuring out how to fold it to get the stretchiness to be on the tabs.
@@JaysNest oh ok , if I buy some 4 way stretchy fabric to cut and make my own I noticed they sell by the yard do you know how many toddler or lg. Flats I can cut get out of 1 yard ? Thanks 👍
I think you get more flats with more yards. Off the top of my head I can’t think of the math 😂 Maybe 2 from 1 yard? That’s probably a bad guess. I made toddler flats 30x30 in my diy stretchy flat video. But I don’t even remember how many I made. I’d have to rewatch the ending lol I think 1 got somewhere from 4-6 flats from 2 yards.
Hi, this was such a nice video! I am planning to do cloth diapering (covers and flats) for my expected baby from newborn to potty training. It would grateful if you can help me with building my minimum stash of covers and flats for entire span including night time solution. Like what brand to buy, how many and what sizes for diaper covers and flats. Thanks in advance 😊
I can’t tell you what will work best for you but I can give you a few recommendations! Babies need different absorbencies at different stages so just keep that in mind when building your stash. If you’re diapering a newborn then I have a bunch of videos about that already. 6-8 covers for a minimum amount. 24-30 flats for a minimum amount. You could always get by with less especially for a toddler. You’d be washing every day if you had 12-15 flats. Depending on your energy level and budget then either of those would work just fine. There are a lot of brands and they all have their pros and cons. Covers I use: Flip, nickis diapers, imagine, thirsties, Alva, happy Flute, Petite Crown, luludew. Flats I use: nickis diapers, diaper rite, green mountain diapers, geffen, nickis knickers, seed to sapling, flat bottoms, fruit of the womb. There are so many brands out there for every price range. I like keeping doublers for my diapers for added absorbency when my girls need it: geffen hemp inserts are great! I have a video on my current nighttime solution but it changes as my children’s needs change. I use geffen flats and stretchy flats for nighttime. I did make a video on it. I can’t give you a suggestion that’ll be great for you. Nighttime diapering is trial and error, but I always share what works for me! I did recently make a video on my nighttime solutions with flats. The most important part about cloth diapers are making sure they’re absorbent enough for your specific child and that it fits! And as long as you’ve got those 2 things down then you can make any brand work for you ❤️ It’ll take a little trial and error to get the absorbency right. I hope that’s semi helpful. It’s always hard on my end to give recommendations because I can only speak from my experience. And I know that what I use doesn’t work for everybody.
I know this is a three days ago post but I have questions. How many diapers do you bring for one baby for the span of 4 to 6 hrs? Baby's age 5 to 7 months. Just starting soilds. For a wiggly baby do you recommend snaps or velcro? Do you like flats more or prefolds for a wiggly baby? Can you still do flats with a very wiggly baby? How or what is the easiest way to prepare a flat for on the go for an example do you do the fold before hand and keep it staff with a snappi?
On the Go: I bring 1 diaper for every 2 hrs I’m gone + 1 extra because I overpack lol. I also have ran out of diapers before because of an extra poopy baby so I’d rather be prepared. I’m not a fan of Velcro for the longevity. It’s not something that holds well over time. Tots bots and thirsties have the best Velcro on the market. Velcro also doesn’t have a great resale. It’s worth trying to see if you like it though. I’d definitely recommend thirsties or tots bots Velcro. I prefer snaps on my diapers but I loved Velcro for the newborn stage with willow (but hated Velcro newborn diapers with Scarlett lol.. my opinion always changes). In general I just love flats. I pad fold them. I rarely pin them around my children, especially if they’re wiggly. Prefold are easier to pad fold. I personally wouldn’t bother with fancy folds on a wiggly baby lol. Too much energy and stress for me to do that. So team pad fold here! You might like the ease of prefolds if you’re doing the pad fold.
I haven’t really tried wool. I had one with willow as a newborn. She immediately pooped in it. She grew so fast and the cover was so small, so I never used it again. So I don’t have much experience with it. I’m sorry 😕
@@JaysNest no worries! Thank you for your time. I am thinking of getting one cover of wool but only when he hits the medium size area. Just so there is wiggle room
Girl! Feeling so spoiled with all of the FaceTime! 😍❤️ 2 videos in a few days, say what?!?! Also, I need to find some stretchy flats! I always get all the heart eyes when watching people use them on their babies! Do you ever add a Geffen insert before putting the flat on baby or between the flat and cover?
I know, I’m spoiling you 😜 don’t get used to it because I’ll probably crash this week 😂 you can always tell when I’m feeling creative and inspired because I put out so many videos lol. I should really space them out but who has time for that 😉🤷🏻♀️ #TeamBigHeadDoesntHaveTimeForThat hahah I do occasionally add an Geffen insert! I don’t really have a preference to where I put it though.. at least right now I don’t. I’ve put it under the flap, on top, and underneath. I’m not crazy about putting it underneath. If I *had* to choose a favorite then I’d choose putting it under the flap!
Hi. This seems very convenient and I am going to try it for sure. Just a few questions to make it more clear. 1. What fabric do you use? 2. What are the dimensions of this cloth piece? My baby is just a Month old. 3. I am loving this diaper cover. If you can tell what it's material and if some brand is making it. Actually I am worried if this would be available in my country. Thanks in advance for replying
I'm in love with all your videos! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge 🤗 I'm going to have my little soon, and I want to buy some flats. Do you think 20" will work for a newborn or should I go for the 28" right away? Thanks a lot!!!
Thanks so much for this video! I have 2 more months to go but I wish he would hurry up already so I could try all these cool things like cloth diapering and E.C! Lol. And I'm in love with this stretchy flat 😍 where did you get it and what brand?
The pad fold is my FAVORITE fold... so let’s just be real about that 😂 but if I’m securing a flat around my babies then this is my go-to! Plus it doesn’t need a closure ❤️

Hi lainas life I love your channel
Best flat fold seen and definitely looking forward to doing this with our new baby coming in July. So excited!!! Thanks so much!!!!
This was definitely my favorite fold during the newborn stage, too. It holds in so much poop!
What! Where was youtube when I had my first baby 15 years ago and why am I binging on diaper videos? This is brilliant. If I had another I am sold on stretchy flats lol.
😍 I see that stretchy flats gives a nice snug fit. Origami were our favourite in newborn stage but with cotton so not so snug.
I agree, it’s not as snug with cotton flats. The jelly roll does help but stretchy flats make this fold dreamy lol
Love this !

I think the modified fold is a little mote absorbent than the regular fold because the absorbency is where we need it so it’s not wasted 👏🏼
Omg, thank you for this video. This fold was already my favorite (besides the pad fold😏) and now you made it even better!
I didn’t create it and I forget who did, but whomever she is- she is a life saver 😉👌🏼 It makes this Fold so much better!

Sweet! I’ve never liked the origami fold. I’m going to give this a try tomorrow. My girls both were front welters too. What a beautiful flat.
