    Naomi - great news about Bailey. I was really pleased to read that they will just monitor it for a month and then if no change take some action. With DD2 the radiographers kept saying monitor for another 6 weeks - they said it was just that her hips were immature but thankfully the paed was proactive and thought things weren't going to change and agreed with me to go the brace option.

    Hello all,

    Congratulations Bridee! You must be so happy with the improvement in your little one's hips and getting to take the DB bar off during the day. I too hope for such sensational improvement in DD2's hips the next time we see the paed.

    Welcome to the forum Jess. I'm sorry to hear about your little one. It is good that the diagnosis has come so early and it getting sorted out now.

    Naomi, I'm glad that they are giving the hips a chance to mature before intervention. It sounds like you've been given some good information and if your son does ends up in a brace you'll be in a position of strenth being fully informed about what is going on.

    We are now six weeks into our initial twelve week stint in the pavlik harness. I do hope that the next six weeks go as quickly as the first. I'm pretty sure I'm going to have the jitters quite badly before our next appointment as I'm starting to get them already. Silly as it such a long way away.

    DD2 has tried her very best over the last week to roll. I had been a little worried but the physio assured me today that that is OK and she can't hurt her hips.
