Hi all,
After some advice pls.
3 month old has been a fantastic sleeper since birth and had just started going down for about 11hrs through the night. 3 days ago she was fitted with a hip dysplasia harness. After 2 days of she and I constantly crying we seem to be getting a bit more used to it. The only problem is its really disturbing her sleep. She's on her back and unable to shuffle herself about in the cot which she had been doing. She wakes constantly and cries with gripey-like cries (often accompanied by farts). If I stick my finger in her mouth she drops straight off again. We use a dummy during the day but I've always avoided it at night. Would/do you let your baby have a dummy through the night? Will I be making a rod for my own back?
Also, if you had a baby in a harness does this sound at all familiar? If so, does it just settle down after a while? Have been contemplating calling the hospital as they claimed it shouldn't interrupt her sleep at all, but it clearly is.
