Learning to walk in cloth.

Hi ladies,
I have ds in both pockets and fitteds and lately I have felt a bit guilty cos I worry that they might be impeding his movement...he started to crawl at 10 months when we were on holiday and I had him in sposies and at night when he's in his night nappy which is a sposie he is much more mobile. I just was wondering how your little ones have dealt with a chunkier bum when it comes to walking? Ds has just turned 1 so he has still got loads of time, and he's coasting and crawling around everywhere but my family already think I'm bonkers for using cloth, so I just need some reassurance!

Also, ds has become so wiggly at nappy changes.. Any ideas how to distract him?! Tried giving him his 'bold' things like keys, remotes etc. But he's so strong now and difficult to 'restrain'!!!! Fitteds are breaking my heart atm though they suit him better...

Anyway, thanks for reading!

He'll be fine, they all get there in their own time. Linford Christie would have worn cloth And cloth is more padding for the bumps when they fall too.

As for wriggling, we used to put a book or toy on the sofa, baby standing on the floor and we'd change them standing up like that. If we changed lying down then we'd use a forearm to 'pin' still whilst using both hands to change. Tricky though.

hi
my son (cloth day & night from birth) walked at just under 10 months so dont fret....

ryan was in cloth when he stared to cruse and he started just before 10 mouths

For difficult changes lay them sideways in front of you, and put your leg in a sort of arch over there body so that your not actually resting it on them! I do it so there head is on my left side & use my left leg, leaving me hands free to change them. This just stops them from feeling free to move.

Hope this help

I just thought that too Anyway my dd was cloth bummed from birth and walked at 10 months, I don't think cloth has anything to do with it. My ds 3 and ds4 were both 15 months before they walked and they weren't in cloth.

Me too - I think it needs moving

DD was cloth bummed from 2 weeks old - she didn't roll until 7 months, crawled at 9 and then walked at 13 months - but I have friends with cloth bummed babies and sposies babies, and the age range has varied greatly, regardless of what type of nappy they use. I agree that it cushions the fall too - DD never once cried when learning to walk or cruse as if she fell down she just got a big squidge and then stood up again

The only thing I find strange is how skinny she looks when she walks naked down the landing for bath time with Daddy - without her nappy on her bum looks so diddy!

my Dd was cloth bummed from 4 months and walked at 10 months. Ds 2 was in cloth from 2 days and didn't walk til 15.5 months. My disposable wearing first was 12 months.
