Re: looking for help with flats (diapers)
If you do go with flats, I wouldn't even think twice about cold water washing, it'll be fine. Definitely consider double flats or GMD now sells a half flat for a doubler but if you will be using a PUL cover one flat should be fine for daytime.

Re: looking for help with flats (diapers)
I thought I replied. I have always only used flats. I have no doubt that one new flat (especially unbleached) would hold all of my 2 year olds pee. I have 3 dozen flats that are looking verry warn and even with that I only double up at night.
What I thought I said before was that I use two flour sack towels to replace one birds eye flat when I am behind on laundry. ---------- Post added at 04:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:18 PM ---------- Oh and there are more folds than the origami one. I don like that one at all. I use the kite fold. On my computer I (think I still ) have a PDF that had lost of different folds.

Re: looking for help with flats (diapers)
I just found it called the happy anteater fold. I love it but it might be more of a learning curve than some others.

Re: looking for help with flats (diapers)
But I could do just a pad fold, right? I think one of the reasons flats scare me because there are so many folds. I'm used to being able to change ds standing up, and getting him to lay down for every diaper change is going to be enough of a challenge! I don't need to have to start wrapping all this fabric around his bum!
Still waiting to hear on the washing situation...

Re: looking for help with flats (diapers)
Pad fold should be fine for a toddler because you are not having to try so hard to catch the poop
