Ok. First, this is what you should have!
One diaper and one insert (or two depending on if you have a heavy peer or if it is overnight)
The next step is to take that insert and stuff it inside that pocket in the back. Try to keep it flat and straight. (This is what will absorb the pee!) If you are using the diaper on a newborn you may need to fold it. I fold the top 1/3 over anyway because I have a boy and he pees in the front. Many people have different methods.
Next- get your baby. (Once you know the settings, you can have the rise adjusted before you get your baby!) (Don't mind my doll- My baby is 18 months and would not cooperate with this procedure except to lend his doll!)
Now to adjust the rise! This is what makes the diaper fit from birth to toddlerhood (and beyond!)You have 3 settings- snapped up to the first row, snapped up to the second row, and completely unsnapped! (This baby needed the smallest setting!!)
Snapping the rise!
Now a great feature for my diapers is this bottom snap. This snap will adjust the leg size (and help with wing drop you may experience in those single row diapers!) This baby is tiny so we go the tightest it can go! Snug around the legs helps the pee stay in the insert!
Now snap the top snaps. These snaps help with the waist size. Again, keep it snug but not uncomfortable. You want a snug fit on the waist to eliminate those back blow outs!
These snaps can also snap on top of each other for the snuggest waist fit. The diaper is a little big for this baby- but surprisingly not as bad as I would think for such a small doll!!
Make sense?? Once you get a routine, it should be easy as pie. I keep all of my diapers pre-stuffed to make cloth diapering as convenient as disposables!!
