Guest guest Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 , It is nice to hear about other babies getting around great with the FAB. just this week started rolling all over and he is beginning to " scootch. " I am anxious to see him do this in the FAB! > > , > > Tenny was 7 months when he went into the FAB. For the shopping cart we usually just stuck him in the cart and piled stuff around him. Since I have such a wonderful assortment of different sized children, someone is always packed in with groceries anyway, we just swapped places. We don't get to town often and never had enough excuses to look for a more creative solution. > > Never have used the exersaucer so can't help there. I can tell you that the FAB never slowed Tenny down a bit. He crawled a month after he got his, and walked at 13 months. He is now almost 18 months and he is a little monkey. So watch out. > > > older baby in FAB > > > gets out of his tenotomy cast next Friday and will be in the > FAB 23/7. He will be nearly 7 months when he starts, older than many > babies here.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 Thanks, I have a Baby Bjorn and a Hotsling pouch carrier. I suppose I will just have to test things and see which works best. We have a booster seat because when he started solids he was too tiny for the highchair we had. We love it. gets out of his tenotomy cast next Friday and will be in the > FAB 23/7.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 YOu have no idea how happy I am to hear that it is possible to use an exersaucer with the brace! As for adapting, I am hoping it won't be too difficult for him. He has handled the casts very well, especially after being out of them for nearly three months before we started seeing his new doctor. With the casts, he has done everything he should right on schedule. > > wore her brace full time from 5.5-8.5 months old.

Hopefully you will have the same experience! > Regards, > & (3-16-00, left clubfoot) > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
