If you don't know what a Wheaton-Pavlik Harness is don't worry. I didn't either! It is a mess of nylon webbing, fleece padding and Velcro that straps over a child's shoulders, around their chest and has little footies that hold their feet while Velcro secures their ankles.
We've been adjusting to the harness for the last 4 days and I have made the decision to journal our experience. The more I thought about it the more I began to think of detailing our journey here in a blog so that my experiences may be assistance to someone else looking for answers in their own journey.
Day 2 of our life with a "Froggied Princess" |
She's still adorable even as a "Froggied Princess" :-)
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog yesterday and look forward to reading about your entire adventure. My daughter was fitted with her harness 2 weeks ago and so we are starting our journey now. Looking forward to reading your experiences and wisdom. Thank you so much for your blog :)

My 5 month old daughter was diagnosed with DDH 5 days ago and was fitted with her harness two days ago. It's been a terrible 48 hours for us, but I'm so happy I found your blog. It's already given me strength to get through these rough first days of adjustment. I'm looking forward to reading about your journey with your Princess.
ReplyDeleteI hope that the blog has continued to be helpful for you and that your daughter has come a long way from your initial 48 hours! I wish you both the best of luck on this journey!
ReplyDeleteMy 7 week old daughter was fitted with her harness yesterday. My son who is 31/2 also had to wear one as a baby
