Hi everyone-
Firstly- Just wanted to say thanks for everyones support with DD and her recient situation,she is doing great now and it still smiling which makes us laugh and smile to.
karalee, I understand how you are feeling as I felt the same when my DD was placed into the Pavlik harness at 4 months of age. I was so upset and thought that I had done something wrong with her that may have caused it. I realised quickly that it was a common condition and is treated quickly. It is getting past the blame factor that is the hardest but you are not to blame at all. The question about how to cuddle her? Believe me any form of cuddling is all she needs. Being in the position she is in you will find what fits you both and will still enjoy her. My DD was put in a Pavlik harness at 4 months then into a Rhino Harness thereafter. In both cases I still managed to breastfeed her. It maybe uncomfortable for you but not for her as she molds to your body and how you hold her. Be patient as she wants to be near you and you will eventually find the right fit. It is amazing just how well they cope with the harness on. Keep your chin up as we have been through this and it will get better I promise that. It has been 3-4 months for me and I am able to give advice to other mums in your situation. You are doing great just remember that.
Rachelle- Glad to see that Taylor is doing well. keep up the great work.
BubbaGirl- Thanks for your support, it was hard to hear that she had to be placed into the Rhino Cast. We were hoping that she would be out of it by Christmas but she will be in it for a little while longer. It was heartbreaking. But I know that as long as she is happy and smiling then that is all I need in life. She is happy at the moment and has now produced 2 teeth so she is still developing as usual. We are pleased as punch.
