--ABOUT FLATS--
Flat cloth diapers are typically made from cotton, hemp, bamboo, or a combination. They're simple flat sheets of material, yet deemed as one of the most complicated diapers to use. There're a lot of different ways that you can fold a flat, some are super simple (borderline lazy) and some require skills in the ancient art of origami, hence the origami fold.
--WHAT I DON'T LOVE--
Some of the disadvantages of flat cloth diapers are a bit obvious like you will need to purchase additional covers, Snappi's, Boingo's, or diaper pins to secure them.
They can be intimidating to start with and not the best type of cloth diapers to leave for babysitters to use. You will also need to spend time folding them after every wash. That is, unless you are lazy like me and stick with the pad fold most of the time.

Great video for learning flat folds! I love that you show the rolling the legs and tucking too, I feel like some tutorials miss that super-important point.

I use a flat fold that you didn't demonstrate. It's called the pickman. I modify it a bit, but it's still bulky in the back. I really like flats I use them with a prefold and cover for night time. My daughter has never had a leaky diaper. Great video! It's helpful.

Hey, um, a lady who uses disposables told me that if the explosion happens away from home, you have to carry dirty diapers around in a bag with you, however many they soil. How do you handle flatfolds on the go, or are they more like lockdown diapers?
@MyGreenNest

Great question! This is true unless you want to dispose of your flat. If it’s breastfed poo you can dump straight in the wash when you get home. I always kept soiled diapers in a good quality wet bag which helped prevent smells. You can also use a combo diaper that has a shell and a disposable insert if you’re out traveling. Those are called hybrid diapers. :)
how does one do cloth diapers on the go? How do you handle the poo when you are on a road trip or at a party?

I actually did cloth diapering when I went on vacation and I had to use long gloves and dunk in the toilet. I didn’t have my diaper sprayer with me. Then I put everything in a bag and washed the diapers where I was staying. I’d honestly recommend disposable inserts if you know baby is going to pop with diaper covers. You can throw the inserts in the trash. Not as eco friendly but better than going full on disposables. I think there is a traveling diaper sprayer you can get as well. Thank you for asking such a great question maybe I’ll do a webinar on the topic.
What is the water proof thing called that you put over the top of cloth nappy. Apparently they use to use pilchers, but I couldn’t find any modern day pilchers ?
@MyGreenNest

I don’t know what a pilcher is? Are you referring to the diaper covers? The diaper covers are made with PUL which they use on wet bags and diaper pail liners.
We started out with the fan fold, then braved the origami. Now little man has outgrown that and we are on kite folds lol

I just bought some flat cotton diapers. My youngest is 30. My oldest is 46. I used refolded back then. Now I am a grandma babysitting. This is the second day with using these while they are here. Just before Mama comes, I put the two Littles back in disposables. None of the folding ways are big enough. I just made something up. I am going to have to think more.

I think that’s awesome you’re giving them a try again. If anything just do the brick fold (lazy fold) add a booster and call it a day. I did that a lot and it worked well. I did fancier folds that fit better when going out

@kickitlikekirra

@@crownpoint9It's one of the folds she showed near the end of the video. It's not as tricky as some of the other types, and WILL catch pee, but it creates a big, bulky "brick" of fabric in the diaper, that unfortunately also isn't great for catching poop.
So you put baby in this and insert directly under the cloth nappy?

Yes, then I add a waterproof cover over it or a wool cover. :)

Mainly but I do find you need to add inserts as they get bigger into the toddler stage. I do believe they make larger sized flats as well.
Umm won't the padding in the origami fold put pressure of the baby's back while sleeping??

Bada Wahlang My kids never had an issue but I didn’t do this fold a lot. If you don’t feel comfortable with that try another one or one that you feel would work for your kid.
Love this. But its a bit too fast for peeps like myself with super slow brain hand coordination 😁
