Feeling guilty
Show your support
Your feelings are valid ❤️ my daughter is 2 now and was in the pavlik as a baby and I barely remember that time already. It’s so hard while you’re in it, but just remember you’re doing the best thing for her to have a happy healthy life. Hugs!
@Lauren @Blair did you breast feed and how did you do it? I’m finding it hard to put her in the rugby ball position
My girl was always quite small so we didn’t really have to change our position. We did try with her sitting upright on my leg facing me, that wasn’t ideal if she was sleepy though as she wouldn’t hold herself up
Your feelings are totally normal! I cried for 3 days straight when my daughter was put in hers at 4 weeks! She got used to it so quickly, and adapted much better than me! 😂 she’s now 20 months and the harness is a distant memory 💕 x
Yes, we would just use lots of pillows too to hold her up while breastfeeding. Keep trying new positions until you find what works for you both
Must be so tough when she's so little but you'll be greatful that she has healthy hips when shes older. My little one was diagnosed at 4 months and had treatment at 6 months, I could tell she didn't know any different at the time so I'm sure yours is the same!
I was absolutely gutted, I cried for days, But honestly it got so much easier and I kept trying to think of the bigger picture, better than an operation & a cast, or issues when she’s bigger. I know it’s hard. But hopefully it’ll be over nice & quickly ❤️ we did 6 weeks in it. She was actually so grumpy when it came off for a day or two 🤣🤣 xx
All these feelings are so normal. My daughter was fitted at 10 weeks and only needed it for 5 weeks. I found it hard but after a few days she got used to it and it became a new normal. She’s 9 months old now and I barely remember that 5 weeks. Hang in there and good luck
