Okay, my first recommendation: if your child needs a Pavlik harness ... take a onesie!!!
Annabelle was asleep when we got home - and I had a horrific headache, so we both slept for a couple hours. She woke up and needed to eat. She had been nicely warm in her carseat with a thick blanket wrapped around her, but I set out to dress my girl - how hard could it be?
There is a strap that is meant to be chest level - it had shimmied down to waist level when I was dressing her - and I couldn't get it back up. She was kicking so much and straightening her legs with resistance. I called for help from my husband (who works from home), but he wasn't able to come help at the time.
After a good solid 5 minutes of Annabelle SCREAMING (hungry girl!), I managed to get the harness back to the desired location. Poor thing just started crying a few tears so that made it even more stressful for mama. Now after a big meal, she's a happy smiling girl.
Next time, I shall feed her BEFORE attempting to change her clothes. It's no easy task anymore.
It seems as though most clothes are out of the question at this point - no pants or sleepers. We shall be sticking to onesies and dresses.
