Resources

A few trusted places to start if you're new to this.
This page links out to established organisations. We don't produce medical content ourselves, and nothing here replaces advice from your own paediatrician or specialist.

Looking for other parents going through the same thing?
Search Facebook for local and international hip dysplasia support groups. Just remember, as IHDI advises, treat anything shared there as personal experience rather than medical advice.
