Hi Claire,
I know I am replying to an old message. I have just joined the group
and my daughters hips were described as 'slightly shallow' too . Lucie
has been in two harnesses and is still wearing the pavlik. Lucie is
five and a half months old now.
What happened after the 6 months wait?
My Consultant is very cautious about Lucie. I still can't take off the
harness and she has shown a massive improvement. I'm not even allowed
to undo the booties with out someone holding her leg in position.
I hope all went well, let me know what happened if you still read the
messages on the board.
Thanks
Kirstie
