DS 3wks has just been diagnosed with bilateral hip dysplasia. One hip was noticed at birth but ultrasound found problems in both hips and from doctors conversation they both seem quite bad. DS is second child, wasn't breech, is a boy and we have no family history so doctor said he goes against all criteria for at risk babies and she was very surprised his hips were so bad.
I've got to go for harness fitting tomorrow or Friday but she seemed to imply its likely we'll need a cast. Anyone any hints/ tips / advice or reassurance it would be greatly appreciated I'm trying to be objective and not get too upset for my darling little boy
