I love my kissaluvs, but only have a dozen and they don't go very far on my little one! So I'm trying to figure out how to use these CPFs, I can't seem to get them folded right and fit in the cover. Does anyone have pics or links to help me out?

Are you trying to pin them on, or just fold them so they lay nicely in a cover? :)

I think www.greenmountaindiapers.com has some pinning instructions, maybe that would help?

For just folding and laying in a cover, I just fold my larger prefolds in thirds and lay them in a Bummis...

I was trying to just lay them in the cover, but that wasn't working so well. This afternoon, I used the snappi and that worked better. I'll check out the link though too. Thanks!

I liked the angel fold for newborns since it holds in the poop better. :)
You basically fold the diaper in thirds and then fan out the back. Whether to use pins/snappi is up to you. I didn't with ds2 until he was older and I discovered the snappi. The "fan" kinda makes a poo pocket to contain more poo than just folding it into thirds.
