No worries, we specified about cloth so they bent the bar more so could fit, not sure if you are doing this but we used to find easier to put her on front to feed through and she got extra tummy time.

We also changed nappies face down, MUCH easier to get the nappy on (with a few flips from back to front). We'd start with Bailz on his back, clean up as much as possible, then flip him over to clean from the other side and then feed the nappy through, flip back over and do up the nappy - we soon became experts at it

Oh great tip on the nappy change, I gave the tummy flip a go tonight and it worked great
We had our visit at the RCH this arvo and they ended up needing to bend the bar a bit and also got us to practice putting it on and off while we were there which was really helpful, I wish they'd done that at the first fitting!

Glad the tummy flip worked - I found that when CJ had the brace taken off I was so used to the flip that I initially kept flipping her even though didn't have the brace any longer!

Hey everyone,
One week down, 5 to go!
Emma is still doing really well in her cast and Sean and I are becoming pro's at this nappy business! We are now doing 6 hourly nappy changes over night and this seems to be working well.
Jackie- how is Isabelle now? Ear infections are nasty, hope she is all better soon.
I am definitely surprised at how well we are coping with Emma being in a cast, I prepared for awful days and nights with an unsettled and frustrated baby, but have been pleasantly surprised. The hardest thing I find is the extra weight I have to carry around now, my back is already quite sore.
Liddy105 – glad to hear that your visit to RCH was very much worthwhile. Hope your daughter is more comfy now in her brace and hope that her legs heal quickly.
Madcat – good to see you on facebook. Have you got pics of your daughter in her cast on there?
Hope all is well with you all.

Great Work on the nappy sharing ideas guys, back in our nappy days we just puddled through, and never thought of the flip idea! Wish we did, it would have been loads easier!
Kira is having her cast off tomorrow!!!!!! Hopefully!?! We cant wait, we are all over it. Back and arms need a rest! Cant wait to see her walking again.
Well wishes to you all

Good luck tomorrow Madcat, hope all goes well. Kira will be running around again in no time and the cast will be a distant memory
