Nobody likes to hear their baby is less than perfect, so if your child has been diagnosed as having hip dyplasia, Hip Babes understands this can seem very daunting and upsetting for a parent.
It is most likely that your baby may need to be fitted with a hip brace i.e. a Dennis Browne bar or Pavlik Harness and may have to wear this device for 23-24 hours a day for a significant number of weeks or months.
This can be very distressing for both you and your baby. Your initial thoughts will turn to her comfort. How will she feel in this confined position? How will she sleep? How will you breastfeed her? What will she wear?
Hip Babes is here to help with tips, ideas and clothing solutions for parents of babies of hip dysplasia. For more information, please visit the page relevant to your baby's hip brace. Our site is still very much evolving and we hope to add more pages with regards to all types of hip braces and infant hip treatments i.e. Dennis Browne Bar, Pavlik Harness, Rhino Cruiser and Spica Cast. Should you have any suggestions, please feel free to email us.
