Thanks Naomi, it was just so good to see. It'll be Bailey's turn next, just wait for it!!!!

Smarti - Welcome to the group. I find the advice here so invaluable and I wouldn't have managed this journey without the wonderful people here. My DD is in the rhino cruiser brace, has been since August. The brace is worn outside her clothes. Things like jeans are uncomfortable for her, shorts are a no go zone. I make sure that she always has either a singlet or a jumpsuit on, so the belly strap doesn't rub on her skin. We also put a baby cot pillow under her legs at night and this seems to make her more comfortable. Overall, it doesn't seem to bother her at all. If your baby can crawl, she'll be able to in the brace, so I'm told. DD can't fit into her highchair unless we remove it, but our pram and car seat were fine. You might need to get an extension strap for the car seat though - you can get it from the RCH's equipment distribution centre. It's the strap that comes up between their legs - needs to be longer to accomodate the brace. There isn't a lot that DD can't do in it, other than crawl on all fours, only because she didn't know how to before she went into it. But the BEST bit that I've found is that we haven't had one leaky nappy since it went on!!!!!! It will be a challenge at first, it is impossible to keep clean, but stay chatting in this group and you'll find a way. Hope that helps.
