I just learned that I walked REALLY late - 19 months - so I guess I won't be surprised if DD follows in my footsteps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bg-40s-limiting-movement#post-1227320 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 14:32:01 +0000 skipra 1227320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS started rolling front to back really early (6 weeks) but at first could only do it in disposables. Eventually he figured it out in the cloth diapers. We use both BG 4.0 and Freetimes. He started crawling around 6 months and walking at 11 months. Certainly not delayed at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bg-40s-limiting-movement#post-1227307 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 14:29:22 +0000 birdofafeather 1227307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@GreenThumb: i had the same worry when she was younger, but she started crawling at 7.5 months, standing and cruising shortly after with her first steps at 9.5 months and her working on walking at 10. so our BG 4.0s haven't slowed her down! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bg-40s-limiting-movement#post-1226924 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 12:49:34 +0000 GreenThumb 1226924@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: Thank you! Glad to hear that most folks don't think cloth had much if an impact!! I'm so happy to be using cloth for so many reasons and didn't want this to be a major negative. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bg-40s-limiting-movement#post-1226889 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 12:41:39 +0000 immabeetoo 1226889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@GreenThumb: I'm not sure what the normal milestone range is for walking; but my LO has been in cloth since he was 2 weeks and he's walking exclusively at 11.5 months. He does move better naked, and definitely prefers knit/stretchy pants to jeans, but was crawling at 7m and cruising at 8 so it's never held him back. I will say if I put him in a Flip with an overnight insert, he walks like a cowboy (I usually use Flips with flats inside so pretty trim). I wouldn't sweat it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bg-40s-limiting-movement#post-1226785 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 12:10:10 +0000 GreenThumb 1226785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Baby Boy Mom: I know, it's true! Disposables haven't been around that long! I was a cloth diaper baby and I'm fine :wink: ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bg-40s-limiting-movement#post-1226772 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 12:06:33 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 1226772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@GreenThumb: Don't worry! :) You are giving her the gift of a chemical-free booty. Snappi-ed prefolds are even more limiting and that's what we used for a long time. Remember back in the day everyone used cloth.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bg-40s-limiting-movement#post-1226758 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 12:03:38 +0000 GreenThumb 1226758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: As my good friend always reminds me, isn't it amazing and wonderful how different they all are. I wish I wasn't concerned about meeting the milestones "on time". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bg-40s-limiting-movement#post-1226749 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 12:01:15 +0000 GreenThumb 1226749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MerryC: Rethinking the inserts is a good suggestion. This little lady has really chunky thighs, so she is really packed in there with the think insert that comes with the 4.0s. She can't lift her little legs very much:(. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bg-40s-limiting-movement#post-1226724 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 11:53:51 +0000 autumnlove 1226724@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@GreenThumb: She was 14.5 months and she wasn't confident until she was 15 months. But maybe it was just her and not the diapers! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bg-40s-limiting-movement#post-1226723 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 11:53:15 +0000 twinmama 1226723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't start with 4.0s until about 6 months, but my kids hit all their milestones appropriately, including walking at 11-12 months. I never noticed a difference. If you are concerned, you could try stuffing the diapers so they are less poofy. There are a million different inserts and ways to fold and layer them. If I want a trimmer fit (like for photos or something), I stuff mine with one thin mcrofiber insert and one hemp vs. my typical multilayer microfiber setup. They also make inserts called loopy-dos that are an all in one micro amd hemp so its super trim and super absorbent. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bg-40s-limiting-movement#post-1226707 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 11:44:44 +0000 GreenThumb 1226707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: That's interesting! But she did get the hang of it eventually. How delayed was she in walking (if you don't mind me asking)? I wonder if I should try out some different kinds… I just stocked up on the 4.0s. The Elementals are more flexible? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bg-40s-limiting-movement#post-1226702 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 11:42:57 +0000 GreenThumb 1226702@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Baby Boy Mom: Thank you! It is probably just first time mom worries. I'm glad to hear that the diapers didn't slow them down too much. I hate to think I'm limiting her just because of my diaper choice! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bg-40s-limiting-movement#post-1226699 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 11:41:25 +0000 autumnlove 1226699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I'm convinced it delayed her walking! I put her in more flexible Elementals when she was finally taking her first steps! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bg-40s-limiting-movement#post-1226690 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 11:38:55 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 1226690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup I noticed this with both boys. They have a bigger range of motion diaper free, but I wouldn't worry about it. They figure out how to do the same things with the diaper on after a little while. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bg-40s-limiting-movement#post-1226646 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 11:21:17 +0000 GreenThumb 1226646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is 5.5 months and has been in cloth diapers (BG 4.0s) since she was about 4 weeks old. We do a fair amount of diaper-free time and I notice that she has a much greater range of motion when she is diaper-free and actually only rolls (back to front) if she is sans diaper. And she loves being on the changing table because she can get her feet in her mouth. Has anyone else noticed more limited movement with cloth diapers? Is this a concern for development? I love cloth diapers, but I don't want her to have any delays! Thanks!! </p> [attach=1933/13/mwiqwz.450x600.image.jpg]
