Hi Emma,
Hayley is 6 1/2 months now so she has been in her cast for 2 months. How old is Charlotte?
I'm pretty sure Hayley will be fine in her brace but we are wondering if once it comes off for 1/2 an hour each day she might get upset when we try to put it back on again.
Do you find this with Charlotte or is she ok with putting it back on?
When the surgoen changed Hayley's cast he said the hip felt stable in the socket which he was pleased with. We have been told she will be in the brace for 2 months if all goes well so hopefully she will be out of it completely by the time she is about 9 months.
I can understand why they say they have a strong neck and head. Hayley has amazing head control and lots of people comment on it. When on her back she lifts her head and as much of her back as she can off the ground as if trying to sit up and she can hold herself up like that for ages!
All my best wishes for you and I hope that Charlotte is out of her brace for her 1st birthday. Keep me posted with how you are both going!!

Hey Monica, so sorry for the delay in response! I have moved house and lost my internet!
Charlotte is fine with going back into the brace after bath time, was a bit tough at first but fine now! She started crawling in the brace this week which is really exciting!!
We have our 3 month check on Friday so fingers crossed it goes ok!

I hope all is well!
