Hi Everyone,

I am new here too. Our little girl is also in the pavlik harness and has been for 4 weeks on monday, she was not breech so there is real explanation as to the cause of her hip problems. We were lucky that it was picked up when she was four days old. She did not get the harness on till she was 5 weeks as they wouldn't u/s her until she was 4 weeks old. We only bath her once a week at the hospital we cannot remove the harness at all, we just sponge bath her daily. We are working in six week blocks so only a couple more weeks till her next u/s, at this stage our paed thinks she will have it on for at least 12 weeks but we just have to wait and see.

I'm glad I found this forum/thread there is not much out there about what 'real people' go through with this.

Its great to read a few of your babies are getting to the end of their tretment with good results and are now out of there harnesess'/casts
