Parenting habits to prevent congenital dislocation of the hip joint
The hip joint has a shape in which the hemispherical part (femoral head) on the femoral side is in the recess of the pelvic side (the mortar). The condition in which this hip joint was not congenitally compatible was generally called congenital hip dislocation, but in many cases it is rare that the joint that is completely dislocated at the moment the baby is born, and the joint that is unstable at birth often gradually shifts to dislocation, and recently, especially in the United States and Europe, the word "congenital" is not used, and developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (stunted hip dysplasia).
There is a cause that causes this gradual transition to dislocation. This may induce hip dislocation due to the accumulation of small parenting habits on the part of the parents, so be aware of the following three points!
■3 points to be careful about how to raise
1, Diaper
The diaper should be a crotch diaper with both legs bent in an M shape and you can move your legs freely. Small items that don't fit the size will tighten them, making it difficult for your legs to move freely. Do not fix it with both legs extended like a "swaddle". Also, when changing diapers, do not hold the baby's legs with one hand and pull them up, but put the mother's palm under the baby's buttocks and lift it up to change.
2. Cuddles
Let's "hug a koala" for hugs. When you hold your baby from the front, you will have an M-shaped spread with both knees and hips bent. Just like a koala is holding on to a tree, always make it a habit to put your mother's hand between your baby's legs. In the carrier, the "front holding carrier" has an M-shaped leg spread, so there is no problem in using it. Do not use a "baby sling" for sideways hugs, as it will not be possible to take an open leg posture and stretch out both legs.
3. Orientation habit
If you have a habit of orienting while sleeping, the opposite leg may become a knee stand and fall inward, causing it to dislocate. Lift your head and body on the directional side with a towel or mat so that the opposite leg falls outward and opens.
*Just changing a little parenting habit can reduce negative factors in your child's growth process.
Even if it is a subluxation, for example, even if it is a dislocation of the hip joint this time, the effect may be a factor of knee and hip disease in adult life. Learn important parenting habits during the growth process!
