Baby and hip dysplasia

[Tgum]

Hi,

My 4 week old baby was diagnosed with hip dysplasia and fitted with a Pavlik harness last week at 3 weeks old. My daughter has to wear it 24hrs a day. I am struggling with finding a comfortable breastfeeding position. I also find it awkward holding hers she is so big and bulky. Can anyone offer any advice please? Also, I know marks and spencer sell a limited (6 or so pieces) hip dysplasia range of clothing but is it worth investing? The sleepsuits we are happy putting her in the next size up but what about actual clothes? I have so many beautiful tops that I'd love to put her in but can't find any leggings or trousers to buy to go with them. I would hate to waste all those lovely outfits that she has been given/were worn by my eldest daughter. Anyone know of an (online) shop that sells such a thing?

Thanks for your advice 😊

I haven't got any advice. Just hope your daughter gets better. I had hip dysplasia when I was a baby too.

Maybe not worth it. Our little boy has just finished his daytime harness treatment at 12 weeks and I just put him in his older brother’s trousers in the day. As for feeding, it was hard enough bottle feeding so I can’t imagine how difficult breast-feeding is! Our baby was in it for 6 weeks, full time and now just at night. It does get easier to handle them as time goes on! All the best

Thank you for your reply. Hope your little boy is out of his night time harness soon x

We cloth bum so wanted to have some leggings that worked with them, we have found the Blade and Rose Leggings really nice, stretchy and a bit fun, with cute patterns on the bum, hope baby is doing well xx
