Pavlik harness is making feeding hard

6 replies

Dd has been diagnosed with hip dysplasia and has been put in a pavlik harness. She was ebf but the only bf position that we were doing was on a pillow her side on tummy to me. Now she's in the harness she can lie on a pillow and turn head to my breast but she gets windy really quickly like this, I think because she's sort of twisting.
We can't seem to find another position, she had a tongue tie snip previously and my boobs large so not the easiest start to bf before this. Have given a few bottles of formula and wondering if we should just switch to bottles now but she doesn't seem to settle after bottle feeding like bf
Has anyone been through this? It's so hard

Give her expressed milk in a bottle?

Ime I find breast milk settles and makes them more sleepy than formula. Helps that breast milk has a sleep hormone in it. X

Olivialactationconsultant on instagram has a highlight on her insta of positions people have fed in with pavliks on. It’s 13th highlight across on her page

Thanks all. I managed to work it out on an breastfeeding pillow which is handy as she will not take a bottle
