Step 1: Lay the Onesie Flat
Start by laying the newborn onesie on a flat surface, such as a table or the bed. Smooth out any wrinkles or creases to ensure a tidy fold.
Step 2: Fold the Sleeves In
Take one sleeve of the onesie and fold it across the chest, towards the center. Repeat this step with the other sleeve. This will help create a more compact shape for folding.
Step 3: Fold the Sides In
Next, fold one side of the onesie towards the center, making sure to tuck the sleeve underneath. Repeat this step with the other side. The sides should meet in the middle, creating a long rectangular shape.
Step 4: Fold the Bottom Up
Take the bottom portion of the onesie and fold it up towards the top, about one-third of the length. This will help further compact the onesie and create a neat fold.
Step 5: Secure the Fold
To keep the folded onesie in place, you can use a rubber band, a small clip, or a baby-safe pin. Be sure not to secure it too tightly to avoid damaging the fabric.
Step 6: Repeat for Other Onesies
Repeat the above steps for each newborn onesie you want to fold. This method ensures a consistent and uniform appearance for all your little one’s garments.
Tips for Folding Newborn Onesies
- Always wash and thoroughly dry onesies before folding to ensure cleanliness and prevent any potential mold or mildew.
- Consider organizing folded onesies by size or color to make it easier to find the right garment when dressing your baby.
- If you prefer not to use rubber bands or fasteners, you can try folding the onesies inside a small cloth bag or pouch to keep them neatly stored.
- Remember to label or mark the storage container or drawer to identify where the folded onesies are kept.
Now that you know how to fold newborn onesies with ease, keeping your baby’s clothing collection neat and accessible will be a breeze. Practice these steps and soon you’ll become a folding pro, saving time and space in your little one’s wardrobe!
