My boy is three weeks old and he is in prefolds. I change him around 3-4 hourly and never have had a leak.
I use bambino mio covers and also ecobots covers.
I sometimes soak, sometimes dont - either way they come up nice and clean.]]> Tue, 17 Feb 2009 09:42:41 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24590&PID=616199&title=prefold-qs#616199 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24590&PID=615481&title=prefold-qs#615481 Author: angel4

i use ecobots prefolds. Never had a leak!!!! we change about every 3-4hours during the day and then one nappy through the night (with an extra insert). My boy is a heavy wetter. A dissposable will leak at night but our prefolds wont ]]> Mon, 16 Feb 2009 14:18:01 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24590&PID=615481&title=prefold-qs#615481 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24590&PID=615428&title=prefold-qs#615428 Author: Charm

- I use prefolds fastened with a snappi inside a bummis wrap and have found this the best way to contain my daughters poo. They do seem to be just as absorbent as other cloth nappies. I leave the nappy on for about 3 hrs and haven't had any leaks. I have used prefolds trifolded inside the wrap but the poo tends to leak out sometimes.
- you can use a booster and liner if you want, but I haven't needed to. I just rinse the poo off the prefold if it's really bad and then dry pail it.
- the best prefolds i have, I got from Snazzipants. unbleached.
- i haven't needed to soak them and they clean up fine.]]> Mon, 16 Feb 2009 13:34:16 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24590&PID=615428&title=prefold-qs#615428 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24590&PID=615391&title=prefold-qs#615391 Author: peanut butter

I never soaked mine and they were fine.  I have a whole lot to sell at some stage if anyone is interested.  I'm also finding they are working well to soak up booby at the moment whilst my milk supply is settling down]]> Mon, 16 Feb 2009 12:56:49 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24590&PID=615391&title=prefold-qs#615391 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24590&PID=615330&title=prefold-qs#615330 Author: kebakat

I have no idea for most of that but snazzipants do prefolds (white and coloured)

I thought it was preference to soaking, the only friend I have who has used them dry pailed them and they worked fine for her.]]> Mon, 16 Feb 2009 12:13:51 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24590&PID=615330&title=prefold-qs#615330 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24590&PID=615324&title=prefold-qs#615324 Author: myfullhouse

I have read a few of the threads on prefolds but have a few extra questions as I am interested in getting some for this baby for the first month or 3

1. people have said they are not as absorbant as other systems. Approx how long would they last on a newborn - say a std wetter? Or alternatively how many do you think you would go through in a 24hr period?

2. could you add a MF booster and/or a Mircofleece liner?

3. I only know of Real Nappies, what other prefold brands are out there?

4. People have said they need to be soaked, why? Can't I just rinse off the dirty nappies and then 'dry' pail?]]> Mon, 16 Feb 2009 12:07:07 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24590&PID=615324&title=prefold-qs#615324
