It's Day 6 of the DDL Flats and Handwashing Challenge!  Today's blogging prompt is about folds.  There are MANY tutorials out there online dedicated to the many ways to fold a flat diaper.  I'll list a few of them here: http://www.greenmountaindiapers.com/flat.html http://www.diaperware.com/picturepages/flatfolding.htm https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kV4YNYMG7m4 http://www.wikihow.com/Fold-a-Cloth-Diaper http://dirtydiaperlaundry.com/how-to-fold-a-flat-diaperbag-style-video-and-image-tutorial/ http://www.diaperswappers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1143602  When my daughter was a newborn we had some flats in our rotation and I loved the Origami Fold.  Now that she's 19 months old and 30 lbs we had to quickly adjust our folding methods to accommodate her size and absorbency needs!  I made up a fold on day 1 that seemed like...
