Those little hips are something I keep an eye on well beyond the newborn stage 👶🏼🤍

Developmental Hip Dysplasia (DDH) isn’t always obvious at birth. Sometimes changes become more noticeable as babies grow and start rolling, sitting, crawling, pulling to stand and eventually walking.

This is one of the reasons I recommend developmental check-ins throughout baby’s first year, typically around 3, 6, 9 and 12 months.

At each stage, I’m looking at more than whether they’ve “hit” a milestone. I’m looking at how they’re moving, including hip mobility and symmetry, leg movement, primitive reflexes, motor patterns and how they’re progressing into their next developmental stage.

Because what we’re looking for in a 3-month-old is very different to what we’re looking for in a 9 or 12-month-old.

And while these checks don’t diagnose DDH, they can help identify when something isn’t quite looking or moving as expected and needs further medical assessment or imaging.

Swipe through for some of the signs and risk factors I look out for 👉🏼

Because life is significantly better when your back doesn’t hurt, your neck actually turns and you can get off the floor without making sound effects.

Put yourself first & stop pouring from an empty cup 🤍

Allow me to reintroduce myself 🤍

I’m Dr Maddilyn- chiropractor, founder of The Nurture Haus, and a little bit obsessed with all things women’s health, pregnancy, babies and growing brains.

I’m an Advanced Paediatric Chiropractor (DACCP) and Webster Certified, with further training in women’s health; but behind all the qualifications, I’m someone who genuinely loves learning, asking why, and helping women and families better understand their bodies.

These days, you’ll usually find me in my little clinic in Mackay, assessing newborns, talking hormones with women, supporting mums through pregnancy and postpartum, checking primitive reflexes, discussing birth and feeding, or sharing whatever piece of research I’ve been nerding out over that week ✌🏼

Outside the clinic, I’m probably lifting something heavy, attempting a new hobby, painting, somewhere near the ocean, planning my next adventure or hanging out with my staffy 🐶

The Nurture Haus was created to be a space where women and families feel heard, supported and empowered with knowledge 🌸

So whether you’ve been here since the beginning or you’re one of the many new faces around here lately, tell me about yourself below or a fun fact you’ve learned recently 🫶🏼

There’s no such thing as a silly question, this is a safe space & if I don’t know the answer- I will find it for you 😎

And if you get me started on a topic I’m passionate about- good luck getting me to stop 😂🫶🏼

Since we’re on the topic of UTI’s- here’s some things to look out for in your child. They require a little more attention than a UTI in grown woman, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t preventable and can’t be treated holistically 😊🩷
