Becky - my daughter was diagnosed at 6 weeks. In the hospital the paed's said they throught her hips were fine but coz she was breech had a ultrasound at 6 weeks (this is rountine) it was then it was picked up. From what I understand (could be wrong) but as they grow it can get better itself so that is possible why he is leaving it for a few weeks. 5-6 weeks is still very early to pick it up. It is just when it is left months or even years that it gets harder to treat or should I say it takes longer to rectify.
