They should help her by keeping her legs more together so that she can tuck her legs underneath herself to crawl, etc. Hope she likes them (and that they are cute)!

Libby's Mobility Update
A physical therapist from Early Intervention came by yesterday and said that Libby lacks strength and tone in her hips. This is why she looks so limber and does splits all of the time-- not because she's meant to be a gymnast! But she was happy with some things she was seeing and even though Libby is functioning at a 7-8 month level for mobility, she wants us to try some strategies she gave us for 6 weeks. If after that, there's not much growth, then she'd recommend PT sessions. I was glad we called and had a professional come out. The PT also recommended some cool shorts called "Hip Helpers". We just ordered 2 in pink and will have Libby wear them whenever she's having floor/play time. Here's a picture of a baby with them from their website:

wow that is interesting KAtie. I've never heard of that - what a neat idea with the shorts! Is that picture of another baby or is that Libby? Didn't look like Libby to me from the blog??
ReplyDeleteWow! That baby looks pretty comfy in both positions...but I'm hurting just looking at the first picture. I think the shorts will be great. The baby doesn't seem to be bothered by them at all. Good luck!! Can't wait for an update. :)
ReplyDeleteHow nice someone came out to your home to check Libby. Home visits are so convenient! Those shorts are pretty cool. You will have to take pics:)
