Hi,

My baby's 12 weeks old and I've been using fitted cloth nappies (BBH) since birth. We made the cloth decision as we don't like the chemicals or synthetic fibres that exist in disposables. Having said that, I've just got back from a 2.5wk overseas holiday where I had to use disposables.

I noticed that my son could kick easlier and bring his legs up to his chest when wearing the disposables, but now that we've come home and gone back to the fitted cloth ones he can't move as easily. The cloth nappies make his legs stick out to the side insead of being able to curl them up (like a snuggly Koala when I hold him). With the disposables on he could bend at the waist, and therefore sit, but now he can't seem to do that and is quite rigid.

I knew he had a "bubble bum", but hadn't realised how pronounced this was prior to experiencing the disposables.

Has anyone noticed their baby's movement is restricted in fitted cloth nappies? What are your suggestions? (I try to give him lots of nappy-off time for a good kick).

Hardly anyone I know uses cloth, hence my need to connect with some other like-minded mummies
