My close friend went through this with her son who was breeched. He had to wear a brace for about a year but was fine after that. I hope everything will be ok with your LO.

I had hip dysplasia when I was born and I'm totally find. No problems in my 31 years. I had a hard plastic diaper for a few months (so I'm told) and that was it.

Not breech but just wanted to give you a mama hug!

I know nothing about this except I was recently chatting with an orthopedist and there was a little girl (a triplet) in his office who he was treating for hip dysplasia. He told me not long ago hd was not detected routinely, but that they have found that a lot of/most people who have to have an "early" (before age 60) hip replacement actually had hd when they were born. He told me hd is more common in first babies and multiples and that nowadays they can detect it so early that it should not be a problem after that initial period.

My son wasn't breech, but screening is done at either the first pediatric appointment or at the hospital 6 weeks after the birth. It is required for all children born in Switzerland, which I think is a good thing.

Best of luck!
