Yesterday my beautiful DD was put in a pavlik harness for hip dysphasia. I wasn't expecting this and have found the first 24 hours so hard as she has cried and cried in frustration at not being able to kick and straighten her legs. I can't find much by way of advice in any mumsnet discussion forum. Does anyone have experience of this? Did your DD eventually get used to it? What sort of clothes did you use? Did you buy a special chair? DD won't fit in her bouncy chair now. How did you cope with washing? I know people have far far worse things to contend with but right now I'm finding this very hard as my normally happy smiley girl is so upset. Can't believe I'm not allowed to bath her either. Will miss this so much as she loves her bathtime.
