Do cloth nappies make a difference with mobility like rolling over, sitting?

[spekulatius]

That's my question really. DD is 5 months old, nappies seem huge on her. I also struggle to hold her comfortably on the hip. Is this normal or am I delaying her in her development?

Cloth nappies were the norm for hundreds of years. People still walked. And rolled over. No one over the age of about 40-odd is likely to have been in disposables and you don't see loads of deformed adults, do you?

Really, don't worry.

True!

I'm aware that sounded lecturey - for which I apologise. My tone sometimes doesn't translate properly onto the screen!

Well so far my cloth-bummed one is 4-5weeks ahead of her sposied big sister, so I'd have to say no lol.

I actually think the bigger cloth bum helped my DS sit up sooner as he had more of a broad stable surface to sit on.

He certainly never seemed to mind sitting down hard on his bum when in cloth compared to when he had a disposable on as well.

could well be my imagination though

Nah, if anything it is like body building, carrying that extra weight around!
Mine walked at
9 months
10 months
And
14 months
All had cloth nappies

I thought this when my dd was about 5 months. She was really struggling to roll! Turns out, she was just... Really struggling to roll!! She managed it a similar time as other babies I know of her age and like previous poster says (I can't check who as am on phone!) the big bum helps with sitting as it is making her more balanced.

Can't say about walking but my ds walked at 10months so hoping she holds out for as long as possible for my sanity's sake!

Nope, not in my experience.
