Milli5 and Appletree - i had no idea of torticollis relationship with ddh, Miss K had this prob for first couple of months too, and had really short umbilical cord, and no family history of ddh, my reconing must have been position probs in uterus! OMG there were sooo many missed little hints, in hindsight!
Madcat what were your missed hints? I too have no family history but am interested in how it may have happened.

Physio also said that torticollis (?sp) are also quite common with HD babies (neck turned more to one side) which DD also has, but she can turn her head both ways, just seems to prefer one way. Anyone else heard this too?
Milly my DD has this. Her head is a bit of a parallelogram on the right hand side, looks like she has a flat bit at the back. The osteo is trying to loosen her ligaments in the base of her skull to allow it to fill out. I think it is mild torticollis and like your DD can turn her head both ways but favours the right.

Karma hows it going with the cast?

DD has had her pavlik on for a week now and today had her first bath at the hospital. She kicked and kicked . But her groin area was just gross! I hadn't been getting in and cleaning it and the physio said to just put currash powder in there and not to wash it as its hard to dry it out.

We are getting used to it all. I'm finding BFing in public more difficult as I need to get her in the right position with legs in the air.

Also can I ask you all what you did for a car seat? She is now bursting out of the capsule so need to move her into a seat. Did you find any particular make/model the best for them to have their legs splayed?
