    I have put her in sposies for two days now. Unfortunately I think I can see her walking "SLIGHTLY" better.
    Maybe that's just normal improvement in her walking? Every day she's doing it, she's getting better with her skills...

    I know this isn't easy for you - I know I'd feel torn in two - but you just need to go with your gut. Good luck!

    thats frustrating hey, im finding drs are so anti cloth like they think that sposies are better. Not that im starting a debate or anything but i was a bub in cloth and i don't think that there is enough evidence to support what that dr is saying is there? please do correct me if i am wrong.

    A few months back i had a dr tell me that using a disposable for my son after a circumcision would be better on an open scar that using a bamboo fitted nappie. Personally i think organic on open wound would be best and also i think bamboo is best than sposies especially in this case.

    Squidipa, the chiro has a 3month old and before she was born she was very interested in my clothies, asking questions, all set to purchase but she has gone with sposies. I wonder if she is somehow easing her own mind???

    For a moment there I was almost swayed by the convenience of the sposies this week. I have really noticed a difference in her walking and it is so improved that I can only explain it by the trim nappies, not just practice. However I have noticed the $15 worth of sposies have almost disappeared already, and that her poor fanny is getting red and I have to use powder, which I never do in cloth, I have decided I need to just change cloth brands. (I am a super scrooge and with TT looming in the next few months I was loath to buy but with the resale value so good i will still be saving.)

    To all you wonderful generous ladies who have offered to lend me Ittis to try, THANKYOU mwah mwah mwah!!! I haven't taken you up on the offer only because I have looked into it a bit more, at lots of photos and descriptions and reviews, and decided to bite the bullet and purchase. I've put in a few bids on some second hand ones and am keeping my fingers crossed. I am super excited by the prospect of AIOs and no more covers Thank you so much though for your trust and generosity. This is what makes the BB community so wonderful!!!

    hun i asked my osteo yesterday and she said they should be fine, just make sure she has nappy free time!! its normal to have a wider stance as that helps kids balance, its also normal to be bow legged, then go slightly knocked knee before the legs straighten out ( which is what is happening to DD1), if your in doubt go see an osteo!

    Thanks so much AJP, for asking. I was pretty sure it was normal too. Ive read info about shoes/feet/legs and they can be bowlegged and turned in toes till around 2 I think. Then they turn the other way, leaning IN for a bit, till finally straight around 5or6yrs.
