Re: When does smell start?

[Guest guest]

It usually starts right at the beginning while the babies adjust.

You may just be really lucky!! Sounds like you may have beat it.

Hi ,

Just to clarify, I was referring to the sweating. I don't know when

the smells start (if they do without sweat..). My daughter didn't

have a problem with the smell because she wore a prosthetic sock

under the helmet that absorbed the sweat. All I had to do is change

the sock daily.

You are very lucky! With Xavier's 1st band it started smealling after

a week and it smelled the whole time. I used alcohol everyday and

washed his hair with smelly shampoo and it would come back. Remeber

we live in AZ and when he was banded was 7/25 - 9/25 w/ 115 degree

weather there was no way out! LOL! Now with his 2nd band we have had

it three weeks and harldy no smell. If I smell it its at the end of

the day and I just clean them both up and smells gone! I really thing

it was the heat!

hey ,

I think it depends on the kiddo, Aidan's first band came in March and

he never sweated and to be honest it never really got smelly but his

2nd band....whew...came in July and it was stinky after a week!

Consider yourself VERY lucky! I can't imagine her starting to stink

now! LOL

You are lucky..the weather here has been cool. If you are cleaning

with the 91% alcohol, you may not get a smell and cooler weather

definitely helps out. Happy rounding!!

You know, I was just thinking that Gus' head didn't sweat that much

at first and the band didn't stink too bad. But now, after 10 weeks,

he is sweating like crazy in the band and it REALLY stinks when we

take it off. I think it's b/c he is MUCH more mobile now--crawling

and cruising and in constant motion. Anyway--I will be so glad when

this is all over and I have a sweet smelling head to snuggle with!

Hopefully you will be lucky and remain sweat and stink-free!
