Millie Mackintosh took to Instagram on Monday to post a heartwarming video of her daughter Sienna, reflecting on the tot's diagnosis with hip dysplasia. 

In the sweet video, Sienna, 15 months can be seen holding a doll in the arms while walking along a tiled floor as her mum weighed in on her health battles.

Hip dysplasia means the hip joint is loose and can lead to problems, including the possibility of the femur coming out of the socket. 

Hip dysplasia is treated with the harness called a Pavlik harness, which Millie's daughter Sienna had to wear.

Millie captioned the post: '1 year ago Sienna was diagnosed with hip dysplasia and put into a Pavlic [sic] harness, at the time it was very upsetting and scary.'

With the help of her followers, Millie said she made it through the tough time thanks to their words of positivity, as she went on: 'One thing which really helped me to stay positive were the photos and videos that lots of you lovely people sent me.'

She continued: 'Seeing so many other babies have the same treatment and then later be happily running around filled me with a sense of hope!' 

The TV personality posted the video to help others who may be struggling with the same situation.  

'So I just wanted to post this video of Sienna incase anyone else is feeling the way I was, just know that there is light at the end of the tunnel #hipdysplasiaawareness'
