    Naomi - pleased to hear Bailey had an ok first night. The positioning of the bar does move, however, I never had it move up it was always moving down. Our orthotist said it was a problem because the hips are still in the right position it is just a comfort thing. I was told just to move it back to the correct position (when they are lying down they should be lying on the bar instead of the bum).

    With nappy changes our orthotist told us to roll over DD to feed the nappy through and clean but I actually found it easier not to do that, to clean I would just roll DD over a little to each side and then lift her bum up to put nappy down and then thread the nappy through. I was always changing DD nappy mid feed and laying her on her stomach mid feed only encouraged her to bring up some milk.

    Jesska - WAY TO GO LAHNI . As you said you are over the moon right now. Congratulations on such good progress.

    Naomi - Glad to hear that Bailey's first day with the brace has been OK. I'm not sure about positioning as we've only used the pavlik harness. If you have any doubts at all call up whoever looks after positioning the brace (in our case it is the physio) and ask. Everything might be fine, but for your own peace of mind it is worth it. I've done that and the physio was fine with that.

    We are two weeks out from our next ultrasound. I'm hoping for good news but we'll see how we go.

    Best wishes to all,
