Pavlik Harness Sleep Ideas

When baby girl was diagnosed with hip dysplasia, she was still swaddled in the SNOO at night. For the first few weeks, she easily fit in the SNOO swaddle without pushing her hips in. Next, we sized up to the larger SNOO swaddles and would unzip a bit from the bottom to create more space in the swaddle to allow her hips to be open.

When we transitioned her out of the SNOO, that is where I was worried as to what she should wear to sleep.

We found the Love to Dream Swaddle Up transition sleep sack specifically designed for hip dysplasia. The sleeves allow baby to have their hands mostly up, but still contained. Then, when they are ready for hands to be free, you can unzip the sleeves and take them off. The bottom of the sleep sack is extra wide to accommodate a harness.

• The company Ergo pouch also has a sleep sack specifically for harness babies, but we didn't use that one.

• Amazon also sells a specific sleep sack from Clickyhips that has extra room for a harness.

Eventually, we ended up using more traditional sleep sacks, but found ones that had extra room in the bottom so that her hips had plenty of room.

Yoofoss baby sleep sacks have had plenty of room for her harness, without being specifically designed for it. So far, we have only needed the size small, but may get a larger size soon.

Burt's Bees sleep sacks also have a ton of room, despite not being designed for hip dysplasia babes. Also, their regular onesies seems to run big, so she is still using 0-3 month at about 6 months!
