USING PREFOLDS WITH POCKET DIAPERS

[@jessa4282]

The most insanely helpful channel by far when it comes to cloth diapering... I'm expecting my first baby in June and I've gone from planning to use disposables as a teenager to thinking "okay I'll use cloth but I HAVE to use all in ones..." and then I decided on pocket diapers only for 'simplicity' about two years ago because the information I found on flats and prefolds was way too confusing at the time. But ever since finding your channel, I plan to use mostly flats, prefolds and the occasional pocket diaper for the grandparents/laundry day/lazy days. Thank you so much for everything you do, it is more appreciated than you know.

Honestly, I’ve been in a slump lately and your words are incredibly encouraging 💕 thank you for taking the time to comment and say something uplifting. It means a lot right now. I’m really glad that I could help encourage you along your cloth diapering experience!

I was scrolling through KZbin and saw the video, went "huh, a pocket diaper vid I haven't seen." Clicked on it and realized it was just posted today. Great vid Jay!

[@sarah29880]

That was one of the most helpful videos I have seen yet because I’m a first time mom to be and want to try the pocket diaper method with prefolds. Glad I stumbled upon your channel!! And I just purchased that exact same diaper cover. That was awesome!

[@OrlaQuirk]

Thank you so much for this video. I was wondering how well prefolds fit in one size pocket diapers. This video was just what I needed! After watching it, I really think that customizing the pad fold of a half flat or a flat, (or both for an older child) would be the perfect way to go with pocket diapers. And either flats or prefolds work fine with covers. Thank you for sharing your experience with us.

[@JaysNest]

I definitely love flats in pockets more than prefolds. Flats are way more adjustable when it comes to pockets, so you can get really large flats folded down to fit in the pocket.

[@pixiemermaid]

Thru experience, i feel that pocket diapers are my favorite. And if I was to recommend a newbie cloth diaper Inquirer. I would recommend to my friends to stick to pocket diapers. Covers takes a bit more skill. All on ones take forever to dry plus u usually have to add a booster anyways. And pocket diapers imo really are best recommendation.

[@yeseniacontreras8038]

Hmmm i feel like covers are way easiet because you dont stuff. You just lay the insert. But pockets are definitely easier to spray during the peanut butter poop stage

[@jenniferg1317]

I really dislike our covers as well. We have imagine brand aio that have a snap in insert that dry fast and are my favorite followed by pockets.

[@amberslilrose3954]

Thank you! I love these kinds of videos!

[@ericaspruill8461]

I'm starting out with cloth diapers and have bought all pocket diapers. I didn't realize though that what I had bought was microfleece or 100% polyester inserts! I had wanted to go with more natural fibers but to buy more inserts that are say cotton or hemp or bamboo is just too much for me right now. Pre-folds seem to be much more affordable right now for me but I didn't know which size to get (didn't know there were different sizes even! @_@). So THANK YOU for your wonderful video. It's exactly what I was searching for to help :)

[@jenniferg1317]

Amazon has a 6 pack of osocozy size small for $9

[@lindseyjohansen6620]

Would you do a similar video but folding flats down to fit in the pocket at different rise settings? You’re the best! Thanks for keeping it real 👌🏼

[@JaysNest]

Yes, absolutely! I have a few flats that are different sizes. I think it’ll be helpful to see how those fit in pockets as well. Don’t hold your breath for a timeline on it 😂🙈 I’ve taken on a lot of videos for the next 5 months but I will add this to my list 💕💕

[@lindseyjohansen6620]

Jay's Nest ohhh perfect! And no worries on timing. You do you boo! 💖

[@lainaslife6351]

Very helpful video! You always have the best video ideas. 😊

[@JaysNest]

I have so many video ideas but not enough time 😂 I need a whole production crew to bring all my video ideas to life lol

[@Suezianne]

I enjoy your video. So informative. I’m expecting my third child in 5 weeks and I decided to try cloth diapering.

[@JaysNest]

Congrats! You’re so close to your due date 💕 My 3rd child was the first to be cloth diapered too. At first it wasn’t as exciting as I thought it would be lol. I find that the community makes this experience fun!

[@jenniferg1317]

I recommend trying imagine all in ones from Nicki's diapers. The insert snaps out for fast drying. Right now they have retired prints %35 off.

[@jessicajohnson4648]

Willow is seriously my favorite! ❤

[@jillianjohnson2798]

Very helpful video, at first I put small size cloth-eez prefolds in alvababy diapers and snapped for new baby and was wondering why would anyone stuff with prefolds so bulky from end to end until I seen this video and swapped for newborn prefolds and then it all made sense from there

[@GetIntoTheBLACK]

With pocket diapers and medium prefolds with a newborn I do a jelly roll and use the pocket diaper like a cover. That holds a nice amount of pee but if you have a super heavy wetter you can add an insert to the pocket diaper. I love this because my LO tends to have explosive poops lol the jelly roll is the best at keeping poop from getting everywhere

[@lizabethmccool2990]

Omg thank you for this!! I have 6 NB prefolds and they didn’t fit my newbie girl at all like how a prefold is traditionally used, and I was going to sell them. But now I can use them in the MK and BG Pockets that my toddler outgrew.

[@ilovebrean]

I love using prefolds to so easy comaored to lots of different inserts if its to long i just fold it iver slightly at the back so it doesnt affect fit or fold it the other way round ie horizontal vs vertical

[@jessicaervin8411]

My son is a front wetter and I use a large prefold and fold it down, so then it fits in the pocket and it's extra for absorbancy.

[@crystalmunguia]

Thank you so much 😊 ❤️💯👌🏽🙏🏽

[@mom2blessings_sadie]

I have a ton of pocket diapers , all I have is prefolds for inserts should I invest in aio diapers , I'm not sure if the pocket with prefolds is to bulky for a newborn or should I purchase new inserts for my pocket diapers please help me out ty

[@babbydinobat]

Mediums are finely fitting pad folded in a cover for him... I like stuffing two newborn folded in half in the front of a pocket diaper cuz he does t need Absorbency in the back

[@justmemumu7208]

i just have to ask.. what is the name of the song that u=you use at the end of your videos? it is a beautiful song..

[@jessannchittum9360]

Super helpful 💕🙌

[@pugzlove]

My big question is i am a expecting mom due in April. I have a all pocket diaper stash. Now would flats be a better option or inserts? Maybe both?

[@JaysNest]

I personally love flats! However, it’s hard saying if you’ll love flats. I love keeping a mixture of flats, prefolds, and inserts. I use inserts when my flats or prefolds need an extra boost of absorbency!

[@kriistiinbabii]

you're so damn helpful, what did the cd community do to deserve you? 😭❤ honestly i like flats for stuffing better but prefolds are deffo better than microfiber inserts

[@JaysNest]

Awww you are so sweet 😩💕💕💕

[@pianolady2005]

Could newborn prefolds plus boosters be sufficient for a one-size stash? How important is it for the length of the absorbency to go the full length of the diaper?

[@JaysNest]

Length just depends on what your specific baby needs. A newborn Prefold + booster could work for a light to moderate wetter but wouldn’t be sufficient for a heavy wetter. I think it could work great while your baby is small but I wouldn’t count on it lasting for the entirety of your cloth experience. As children get older they need more absorbency. But again, it’ll just depend on your specific child if that combo works. We used that combo for awhile after my baby was out of newborn diapers. Some babies need the extra coverage of longer prefolds because of their directional peeing while some children, like mine, will do fine with size small + boosters because we don’t need the length. Newborn Prefolds + boosters are worth trying out. I wouldn’t depend on that working forever, but it can work for awhile.

Hi ! I need advice ! I love my cloth diapers ! I've been using them now for almost 3 months on my daughter . However she has has 2 yeast infections already with cloth and I have properly bleach washed and soaked the diapers to kill the yeast and obviously treated her as well and used disposables while she healed for 2 weeks . So I feel like shes more prone to get an infection with the cloth . Any advice so I can continue in cloth ! I really cant stand the disposables . :(

[@JaysNest]

Oo, infections are hard because it could be a few different things. I’m definitely not an expert with yeast rashes. My girls really haven’t had them too much over the years. I personally struggle with them though. I get infections VERY easily. A lot of yeast infections can actually lead back into the diet. What method are you using for the sanitation of the diapers? And what’s your wash routine? I wonder if the diapers just aren’t getting clean enough through agitation. Have you cleaned your washer? I find that my washer works at its best when i clean it once a month. I just do a hot wash with bleach and wipe down the insides. Also, you might just have to change the diapers more frequently. Usually 2-3 hours is a good window to change. Maybe change every 2hrs on the dot to see if that helps. Babies are more prone to infection the longer they sit in diapers. And I mean it could be a mixture of a few of these things. Yeast rashes are hard 😩 and I wish I had a magical solution for you. A lot of parents in cloth diaper groups are way more well versed with this than I am! I’d Hate to misguide you since I’m not an expert lol.

[@jeanettpagan5150]

@@JaysNest We currently live in an apartment building that has a laundry mat downstairs so we really can't control what goes in-and-out of the washer's and dryers and there's no other laundry mat close by us we also do not drive at the time so there is not many options. I washed my diapers per instructions that I was given off of fluff University from another lady I spoke to and recently I soaked my diapers and everything else that touched my baby in diluted bleach water cold in a bath tub for a couple of hours and then rinse them with really hot water and then threw them in the wash for a hot wash and dry I have not used my diapers since then

[@jeanettpagan5150]

@@JaysNest We also change my daughter at least every hour as soon as she starts crying we change it because she is wet

[@jeanettpagan5150]

What is a good group that maybe I can join on Facebook to discuss my Cloth diaper journey!? I would love all of the help I can get haha!

[@velmag583]

I know I always ask you, but I trust you. On a scale of 1-10 what would you give a Rumparooz pocket OS? And would you pay $10 for a VGUC one? :-)

[@velmag583]

As you were talking us through the Medium I was thinking “Since a medium is long even all the way snapped out, wouldn’t you just do a S with a couple boosters for added absorbency?” thanks for the visual

[@JaysNest]

It’s been since 2015 since I’ve used rumparooz pockets. I’ve considered giving them another try. When I had it in my stash it was so small. It would’ve worked great for Scarlett (4th baby) because she was so small. Idk how it’d do for willows body shape though. $10 is a great price to try it out at!

[@jenniferg1317]

What brand are the boosters?

[@JaysNest]

im using geffen

[@angenettebloom4344]

Ugh I bought 2 dozen large size prefolds and they’re so huge 😩 why didn’t I research better

[@pazb5604]

Where did you buy the large prefold??

[@angenettebloom4344]

Paz B amazon

[@pazb5604]

Angenette Bloom thank are the large ones 15-30 pounds?

[@angenettebloom4344]

Paz B yes. They are just very long so I have to fold them oddly to fit into pockets and covers, making it VERY bulky.

[@pazb5604]

Angenette Bloom okay thanks so do you recomend me to buy size 1 for a new born??will they grow them fast?or should i just buy size 2?
