Hi mama!
You may have seen my post asking for advice/experiences regarding this. My LO was born 12/17 via c-section because he was footling breech. The hospital pediatrician detected a “clunk” in his left hip , which was confirmed by the orthopedist on 12/19. The orthopedist talked about the plan that day and told us about the pavlik, but said to wait 2 weeks to set up an appointment — he said he wanted feeding to get established and the baby to get back to birthweight, I think he may have felt bad for us because it was right before Christmas :)
On 12/27 we saw the orthopedist who did a quick in office ultrasound to look at the depth of the socket and the angle, and put him in the pavlik harness. He wore it 24 hours/day for 3 weeks, had an ultrasound which showed good progress so now we do 23 hours/day x 8 weeks, and then bedtime x 4 weeks.
I was absolutely devastated when he put the harness on — I bawled in the office, I cried at home when I’d look at the baby, I quietly cried at night when I nursed him. The first time we took him out of the harness for a bath and some skin to skin I cried for like an hour. Now I’m crying just thinking back on those emotions, but it gets better mama and I don’t cry everyday of whenever I look at the baby.
People don’t understand or know what to say to you. Everyone is like “Oh, that’s not too bad” or “It’ll be over before you know it” or “He won’t even remember it.” While all those things may be true, they don’t understand how gypped you feel because this isn’t what you imagined — holding your baby, cuddling your baby, feeding your baby is different and harder and no one understands that.
Tips & Product Recommendations:
We put a plain white, short sleeve onesie under his harness to protect his skin from chafing and to help keep the harness cleaner.
We use these wipes on non bath days.
We had to size up on diapers early because the tabs were longer on size 1 and easier to thread through the harness. FWIW Luvs diapers have longer tabs but we couldn’t stand the smell so we use swaddlers.
I use the Boba carrier. It doesn’t require an infant insert (which you obviously couldn’t use anyways) — there is a little built in pillow that you use from 7-15 pounds. I pretty much exclusively wear him when we go out so that people can’t get in his face (flu season, gotta protect yourself!), but I did buy the bassinet attachment for our stroller for walks since his car seat obviously affects the harness and hip positioning.
We bought the Graco Dreamglider seat & sleeper. It goes completely flat, is wide enough to accommodate the harness, and doesn’t push on his hips or legs or anything.
RIP all your sweaters — that Velcro sticks to everything and destroys it 😂

If so, then no it is not considered safe for sleep. Only products labeled bassinet, crib, or playpen are considered safe for sleep. These terms in the US have strict regulations and can only be labeled as such if they meet specific safety requirements.
This is an excellent evidence based group about safe sleep: Graco DreamGlider Gliding Baby Swing, Percy https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MTM3HAW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_awtLDbZGDJXT8
This is what I'm considering to replace the RNP. https://www.amazon.com/Graco-DreamGlider-Gliding-Swing-Sleeper/dp/B01MTM3HAW?th=1
