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.

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.

@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....

@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.

@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!
