Birdseye Cotton PreFold Diaper 4x8x4 - XLarge

Birdseye weave cotton cloth prefold diaper in heavy, night time weight, 4 x 8 x 4 ply. High quality cotton birdseye fabric is soft and absorbent. The "wet zone" in the center third of diaper is 8 layers of 100% birdseye weave cotton. Many (most) competing diapers use a cheaper terry, foam or flannel filler covered by the birdseye. This causes drying problems, provides a haven for bacteria and is difficult to pin through. Baby Pants are long lasting, high quality diapers. We recommend that parents double diaper the baby during the night and use a single diaper during the day even though these are night weight. These diapers will shrink after washing. They will shrink approximately 10 percent in both directions. One washing isn't sufficient to fully shrink them. They will also fluff up and grow softer with each washing. An extra large after a dozen wash and dry cycles will measure approximately 37" L x 32" W. The material grows thicker as it shrinks. When you measure the waist for diapers, it should be at the navel. If in doubt get the larger size. These diapers are easily folded to make a larger size fit but they can't stretch should you buy too small. Diaper your baby with the top edge of the diaper at the level of the navel. If the diaper is too long then fold them over in front for boys and in back for girls. Some parents aren't as comfortable with this thinking it's too high. Observe babies in cloth diapers. Experienced mothers know this is how to prevent leaks. Where diapers are concerned more diaper equals more absorbency equals no leaks or wet pants.
