Maria's Fold for Boys - Folding Flats / Flat Diapers

A fold created by a UK (I think) mum who wanted a fold with most of the absorbancy in the front. She designed it from a combination of different origami folds, it's a little complicated but serves it's purpose.

**Flats are so versatile! If you find that any fold I present is too small for your child, you can always start with your flat in the full size (rather than folded twice into a smaller square), add another flat on top so that you're working with two layers, then complete the fold; or you can start with the full flat, complete the fold, and add absorbency in the middle.

Yeah some of these folds seem to be strictly newborn; but I think starting out with a larger square and adding absorbency where it's needed would be a good idea. :)

That's cool, but it makes the dipe so small!! My 25+ wouldn't fit. Guess you can start with the flat folded once instead of twice?
