Did your LO have hip issues at birth or were the symptoms detected later? Did they have surgery or wear braces?

@autumnlove: At birth, they detected clicks in her hips. At an ultrasound six weeks later they found the left hip was completely dislocated and the right was subluxed. She wore a pavlik harness for 14 weeks and is doing great now. I run a support group now for parents whose kids have hip dysplasia so if you need it, I found put you in touch with people whose kids developed issues later on. I hope everything is okay, wall me if you need more info

@autumnlove: A had a hip click that was found at her 15 month appointment (new pedi). She was sent to a specialist and he suggested we put her under, put dye through her, and see what was really going on. He said there was a good chance she would need surgery and to wear a cast. She came out from being under and there was no cast! They said once they put her under they realized she could just wear a night brace. She wore it a few weeks then refused. She's no longer in it but her hips are getting better. They determined in the end that she just needed to develop more. E also went in for a click but she is also ok.

@autumnlove: please update!

@autumnlove: Good luck with them! I hope it goes well, please let us know if you have any questions

DD had minimal hip dysplasia- enough that they wanted her monitored, but not enough to wear a brace. She's fine now!

@autumnlove: the pediatrician noticed a click at birth in R's hip. We went to a pediatric orthopedist at 6 weeks old. He wanted her back at 6 months old, took an x-ray, and determined that it was mild enough that we could wait till she was over a year. We go back in a couple of weeks. Good luck tomorrow!
