HI ladies, thanks for the warm welcome!

I'm not sure what happened, but I didn't get notification of any replies, not that it would have mattered, as I haven't had a chance to get to the computer before now.

to fill in some of the gaps from my first post -
- her initial scan showed "category D" (I can't remember the number, I think 2? but I understand it is classified as "severe"
- it is a pavlick harness that she has
- we have another scan and a review with specialist week after next, and we will know then if pavlick harness is working or not
- if it is working, then it is anticipated that she will be in it for somewhere between 12 and 16 weeks

mum is coping a bit better than she was the other day - just now devestated that our little girl now has "nappy rash" in the skin folds of her thighs, after only a week and a half in the harness too it doesn't seem to be getting any better, despite being drowned with curash nappy rash cream, any other suggestions?

karma - it sounds like you have been very clever and inventive with your nappy solution! So the Aldi nappies are more absorbant than the Huggies? that is good to know, because we did have one "poo explosion" but fortunaely it was on the morning of our physio appointment anyway (in the car on the way down of course), so we turned up with not only soiled harness but dirty clothes too!
do you put the boosters inside the disposable nappies, or on the outside to catch the leaks?

bridee - thanks for the tip about the short leg rompers.

furgurnie - yay for being able to book a swimming lesson! how did it go?

kungfubecca - LOL at kick question! I have no idea, but good luck! thanks too for the tip about the knee high socks.

thanks again ladies,
