Cloth and Mobility..

We don't find that it effects him hardly at all. He sits better with a cloth nappy and as for rolling, it only stopped him a tiny bit but once they get the hang of it they roll over anything and everything.. like Daniel rolls overtop of washing piles, toys and gets stuck half way up against the couch etc

I wouldn't think it would effect her to much might just need a little more omph to start with but once she gets the hang of it there will be no stopping her.

And were we affected when we were in bulky old fashion flats when we were babies?

1. Hannah learnt to roll when she was having no nappy time (as she was a sposie baby) as that was the time she was on the ground but I don't believe for a second that cloth would have inhibited her in a big way from doing it had she been in them.

2. I think you realise as your kiddo gets older that it really doesn't matter when they roll, sit, crawl, walk.

Sorry for my blunt response. I just get frustrated when people try to pull that argument! (Not meant to be directed at you Kandice!)

Anyssa is rolling over in prefolds and wraps.

Fay and her week younger sposy friend have match each other step by step with no difference in their mobilising development, Fay has been in cloth from 8 weeks and her friend has been in sposies from birth. They are both taking their sweet time with the walking thing, but otherwise they both rolled sat up and crawled at the same time.

I kinda think that it did stop Josh from sitting for a while, but after he saw someone for it, it was because he was being lazy.

Hey Kandice, Spencer only rolled from tummy to back until 2-3 weeks ago and now he rolls both ways (and rolls round and round the lounge) with his cloth nappy on. He first learnt to roll quicker without nappy on but when he learnt back to tummy he did that with his nappy on. He spent a little while trying but with his arm in the way so I would say that she isn't far off doing it.
My friends baby was only rolling back to tummy until friday when he suddenly went the other way for the first time and he is 7 months, so I don't think you have anything to worry about.
Spencer still doesn't sit properly but I don't think it has anything to do with cloth more just that he gets distracted too easily.
Oh and at my coffee group there was a 5 month old crawling who has been in cloth from birth, think it is just normal differences in development and nothing to do with which nappy.

Thanks guys, im gunna show DF this so he can see that just because she hasnt rolled yet doesnt mean shes not going too! He just worries about her all the time! Its cute in a way.

Thanks
Df and I were lying on the floor with her tonight and she had no nappy on and we were cheering her on and she was trying really hard, you could see that us cheering her on made her want to try harder then she got over but her arm was in the way and she rolled back.. It was a very proud moment to see her trying so hard!

KylahsMum...developmentally it's totally normal..don't worry:) !
