Hi Nicole,

I am so sorry to hear that Scarlett's appt. did not go as well as you had hoped it would! I know it must be hard for you, but I am sure Scarlett will adapt to the change in braces just fine. I actually don't have experience with either brace. My daughter Taylor just went from a Spica Cast to a Hip abduction brace. She is now almost 22 months old and has been receiving treatment since 18 months old. So, only 5 days into her brace she is sitting up, rolling over, and has re-learned crawling, even in her brace. I was amazed at how quick she adapted to it! I know I haven't had any problems with Taylor fitting into her carseat now that she is in a brace. We have a Britax Roundabout which is fairly narrow, but Taylor's brace is flexible enough that she fits in it (and her stroller too). I don't know what the Dennis Brown Brace is compared to Taylor's, but I hope this helps. Taylor will be in her brace until she is almost 3 years old (due to her late diagnosis), but we are hoping that only these first three months will be 23 hours per day and then after that she can go to nighttime wear only (again, that's what we are hoping for). That means that once she is 2 years old, she will hopefully be able to go without the brace during the day!

I wish you all the best and hope this information helps some!!



LAURA- How did Harrison's scan go??? I hope well!
