My friend had a baby March 1st by primary C/S for breech.  The baby  was born 
with a dislocated hip, and, as a result, has to wear a velcro brace  that 
keeps the baby's legs spread apart.  The doctor said the baby must  wear this day 
and night or the hip may not align itself properly thus leading to  a 
possible limp when older and walking, or one leg shorter than the other.
 
My mom is finding it very difficult to nurse the baby in a comfortable  
position for the baby.  I live out of her state, so I cannot help her  position the 
baby.
 
Does anyone have experience with this and can give me some advice to give  to 
her?
