My db is in the pavlic harness for hip dysplasia. She has been in it since she was 4 days old and now she is 6 weeks. I thought she would be out of it by now. I know the doctor is doing the right thing for her and I am praying it works so we don't have to do anything else for her - but I am so upset. I wish she was out of it - she looks uncomfortable, it's hot out now, the thing is filthy (not the easiest thing to clean). Anyone else's db have dysplasia?

[ Reply | Options ]I also had it and so did my sister - we were in casts as older babies, 3-9 months. I have no memory (obv) and no issues, but my mother said we SMELLED and were filthy! My sister was older in the cast (9 months) and learned to crawl, she would drag her lower half in the cast all over. You dd will be fine I am sure. My first dd had clicky hips and I was afriad she would have hip dysplacia but turned out it was just clicky hips. Hang in there.
