TWIST FOLD 

This cloth diaper fold like its name implies includes twisting the diaper. Lay baby on the back portion of the diaper, twist the prefold diaper between baby's legs, bring diaper up and cover.

The Twist Fold adds absorbency to the center of the diaper.  It also shortens the diaper a little bit which may help the prefold to fit a baby better.  This fold is primarily used with Standard Thickness prefolds vs. Premium prefolds.  Premium prefolds tend to be too bulky.  If you feel that the prefold is still too long for your baby you can always fold down the back of the diaper before step one or fold down the front of the diaper before snappi-ing or putting the cover on.

This fold will still do a good job at containing breastfed baby poo.

 

Start with baby, prefold and cover.

Lay prefold over cover just below the back edge of cover.  Lay baby on back portion of the prefold with the back waist of the cover lining up with baby's waist.
Take the front left and right corner to the prefold and turn them vertical. Cross the prefold causing the diaper to twist between the baby's legs.
Complete the twist. Bring the the diaper up between baby's legs and cover baby.
Secure the prefold using a Snappi if desired. Bring up front of cover to cover the prefold.
Secure hook and loop closures of the cover. Viola! The Twist!
