I'm personally not much of a fan of the diaper harness either. I prefer to use the small harness and just use the lower two "belts" leaving the top one loose. I've found that this works rather well. Also, I don't tend to use the litegait with kids much younger than 18 months.
It's not that it can't be done, and that wasn't always my position. I've just found over the past (sheesh, it's been almost 10 years now) of using BWSTT systems, that up until that point, I find that the time spent getting the kid into the unit is time better spent upon neurodevelopmental transition training.
That's not much of an evidence-based answer, I know --- but it IS based upon my best evidence to date --- experiential it may be.
Hi
for anyone using the diaper harness
I find it "too" supportive and often am finding the little ones are sitting and it's much more difficult to obtain that weight bearing in standing. They are weight bearing on their ischial tubs vs. their feet!!
Are others have any trouble with this?
I wonder if there's a different design that could be looked into with less material posteriorly. I do try my small harness on some of the smaller ones but that's still too big for many of the preemies?!?
Thanks
