Possible hip dysplasia

One of the possible complications of breech presentation in babies is developmental hip dysplasia (DDH).  Any breech baby gets signed up for an ultrasound at about 6 weeks of age to rule it out.

Eden got her ultrasound today, and though she has an impressive number of risk factors (breech throughout the pregnancy, firstborn, female) I was more or less expecting it to be fine.  The results were ambiguous.  It took me a lot of googling to make any sense of it, and I'm still not sure I completely understand - basically, one of her hip sockets (not even sure which one) is shallow, and although the hip is stable, they want to follow up with another ultrasound in 4-6 weeks and we were referred to a pediatric orthopedist.

The treatment is a Pavlik harness, which she'd have to wear 24/7 for six weeks and then 12/7 for another six weeks.  We are very nervous about this prospect - Eden doesn't like to be restrained!  Not to mention the laundry fiasco given how frequently she spits and poops.  But it is pretty common, and the harness is better than surgery.  She won't even remember it if we have to do it.
