Little GD has clicky hips. Thankfully has been told to wear double nappy, not the brace. My thought was that it would be better to wear a terry nappy over a disposable as that would be more comfortable, or would double terry nappies be more effective?

I worked with someone who had a baby with clicky hips and they were told to put a terry nappy folded into three inside another ordinary one to splay the legs apart and try that for about six weeks. I would imagine that Terrys are better for that than disposables

This was 40 yrs ago though, they did not have any really useful disposable then.

They don't seem to have had a great deal of advice from the hospital sad.

Tegan lots of stuff about clicky hips and wearing nappies to support. See below.

Apparently traditional toweling are better than disposables in the early week as they hold the hips at the right angle hdosposabecsiwendbertelpwidtowe
