Hi Angela - check out this hip dysplasia support group thread there are quite a few of us who have been through the same

Hip Dysplaysia Support Group Thread

My DD went into a Denis Browne brace at 7 weeks, she was a big baby so skipped the Pavlik, her left hip was severe her right moderate, she came out the brace full time at 6 months, and for the last month was only overnight. So when caught early the correction time can be quite quick - just focus one day at a time, it took my DD two days to adjust and after that it didn't bother her at all - DH and I sometimes perhaps but she was cool with it. I have to go and put her to bed but check out the above thread as is a great source of support and there are mums in there who have had babies in the Pavlik so may be able to provide more specific advice on that particular brace.
