Diagnosed with hip dysplasia today, in need of some positivity!

Hi, I'm really hoping someone will be able to help me out.

My baby is very new - 9 days old - and during a check before leaving hospital last week, the paediatrician noticed she had a clicky hip and referred us for an outpatients orthopedic appointment. At this appointment (today) she has been diagnosed with developmental hip dysplasia and put in a harness. This was pretty horrendous and upsetting and apparently she's going to be in it at least 2 months. The harness means she can't wear clothes in the right size and she no longer fits in her pram or Moses basket.

So kind of a rough day, I'm hoping someone will have a happy story of a similar experience? Thanks in advance.
