How do I stop leaks with prefolds?

How do I stop leaks with prefolds?Cloth diapers are highly absorbent and well-suited for newborn baby blow-outs, heavy wetters, and night-time diapering, however some new diapering parents still get leaks with prefold diapers.

Whether using cloth diapers or disposable diapers, there will be leaks if you do not first determine the right diaper size, if it is not secured properly, or in the case of cloth diapers, if the cover doesn’t fit properly.

Finding the perfect diaper cover fit

The final step to stop leaks with prefolds is choosing the right diaper cover. Prefold diapers, unlike other styles of cloth diapers, can be worn with any style of diaper cover. As when selecting a cloth diaper size, learn how to measure baby for the right, leak-free, fit.
