Some of you may remember that my daughter was put into a Pavlik harness at 6 weeks old due to hip dysplasia.

The good news is that she is now out of the harnes and all is well I have a couple of questions for boardsies who have been in this position previously.

How soon did you allow your child to bear weight on his/her feet? How much tummy-time did you give your baby? What about putting your baby's knees together underneath her to help your baby learn how to crawl? We're not really sure what we should and shouldn't be doing to help her strengthen the hip and don't want to do anything to cause the hip to pop back out again.

We will be talking to our doctor about it but in the meantime, has any one got any tips?
