While some parents are content to
use all-in-one diapers for all of their baby's needs, others
prefer to have different solutions for different situations,
or different times of the day. They may, for example, use
all-in-ones for outings and during the night, and prefolds
while they are at home. Still others will prefer the prefold
diaper over all others and use them all the time.
Quality snap-on prefold diapers have
a lot going for them. If you pick well, they should last
for at least two different babies, even if you decide to
use a diaper service. Remember that if you use a diaper
service, they will be washed in an industrial washing machine,
so inferior quality prefolds won't survive the experience.
Fortunately, even the best prefold diapers are a lot less
expensive than other types of diapers, so they're economical,
too.
Blue Penguin's prefold cloth diapers
are particularly practical. With their v-shaped row of snaps,
they can grow with your baby so that you always have a perfect
fit. They also have two layers of cloth; one a heavyweight
terry and the other a softer, 100 percent cotton flannelette,
designed to be worn next to the skin. These diapers come
in two sizes: small, to fit babies up to 15 lbs., and large,
for babies over 14 lbs. Blue Penguin also supplies hemp
prefold diapers, which are not only super-soft and hardwearing,
but they have natural antimicrobial properties, as well.
All
prefold cloth diapers require a diaper cover. You will also
need to wash them with fairly hot water and dry them in
the dryer for best hygiene. However, some experts maintain
that air drying in the sun is just as good as a dryer.
