Hi all,

Just wanted to let you all know that even though I wouldn't have believed it Scarlett is pretty much back to her normal happy self after only a week in her harness. She is smiling and cooing again, has stopped screaming on the change table and is even sleeping in her cot again. I don't know if it is just me but she seems to be sleeping more soundly now???

Ingrid - I hope everything goes well at the orthopedic surgeon today. I can imagine how you are feeling right now. I think the anticipation of your baby going into a cast/harness is worse than the reality. All I could do before hand was imagine the worst. But once she's in it, each little step is encouraging. I don't know what it is like with a cast, but Scarlett just fits into her car seat with the harness on.

BubbaGirl - you must be exctied that Summer gets her cast off in 2 weeks.

I found breastfeeding a little hard at first - finding a comfortable position for both of us - but now it seems to be going well (luckily becasue I left it too late and Scarlett won't accept a bottle).

Do those of you who's baby is in a harness put clothes (singlet/jumpsuit) on under it? My physio said it was OK to thread it under the harness by undoing the chest strap even though the booklet I got said not to?

We go back to the orth surgeon tomorrow to check the ultrasound results for hip position.

Have a good week everyone.

Nicole
