How to fold a prefold

This is a post that will cover several different ways to fold a prefold cloth diaper. You will want to experiment to find which method works best for you. Folding the extra over in the back will catch new born poops best. Folding extra over in teh front can help catch little boy pees. Different folds might be easier for you, or may fit your baby better. I will now link to to some videos and step by step tutorials on how to fold cloth successfully. 

News paper fold
Jelly Roll fold: good for newborn poo
Bikini Twist: more room between legs
Pad fold laid in cover: without fastener: not good for mobile babies
Newspaper fold laid in cover: without fastener

Pad fold (tri fold): not as good after baby is mobile
News paper fold (angel fold version)
News paper fold: some prefer for boys
Jelly roll: great for newborns and first 6 mo, best loose poo catcher
Bikini twist: some prefer for girls
Diva fold: helpful for escape artists who remove their diapers

Do you have a favorite fold not on this list or a favorite how to? Tell me about it and I will include it :)
