Muslin nappies (squares) may seem intimidating at first, but once you get the hang of them, they can really be an easy nappy to use. They have the benefits of being economical, not bulky on a small baby, and multi-functional when not being used as a nappy.
1. Fold your flat muslin square in half.
2. Fold your flat muslin square in half once again making a square. See to that you have the open corners up to the right.
3. Take the top layer only and peel it straight to the left so a triangle is made.
4. Turn the whole nappy upside down so you get the triangle shape at the bottom and top layers of square shaped fabric.
5. Fold the top square part from left to right a third of the way in and then again. It’s the middle part that is absorbing and now should be the thickest part of the nappy.
All you need to do now is put it on your child and hold in place with a snappi and/or a snug-fitting waterproof cover.
