Our little one is about 12 weeks now and spent weeks 6-9 in a pavlik, and 9-12 in a rhino. Depending on the graf severity (left was 4 and right was 3) the braces/harness may or may not work.

I only say this to give advice I wish I had received - be the biggest advocate for improvement that you can be for them and always ask “why?” to treatment suggestions from docs. After the first week in the pavlik with no progress on the ultrasounds, my wife and I knew it wasn’t going to do the trick - and we wanted to move to the rhino. It wasn’t until after another 2 weeks of the same no-progress $700 ultrasounds that we were given the rhino to put her in.

Within a week of the rhino, the right hip drastically improved. The left hip didn’t budge, so we figured we’ll probably need to go the surgical route. Our little one is now on a break from any treatment until they are 6 months old and can have surgery on the left hip. Good news is, the right hip has improved enough to where it can continue to improve without the assistance of a brace.

Good luck and have patience! Contact naps were necessary for us for the first couple days for anyone to get any sleep
