Guest guest Posted February 1, 2004 Report Share Posted February 1, 2004 Hello, My 5 month old son was just fitted with his band this past Saturday. Everything went well. The doctor told us about the 'red spots' and that they should go away within an hour after we take the band off each day for an hour. However, tonight he had several red spots, one on his forehead, and they did not go away after an hour. Therefore, I left the band off. Does this mean that I have to go back for an adjustment or are these typical problems. Any advice is welcome! Thanks, JA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2004 Report Share Posted February 1, 2004 If the redspots didn't find after an hour then an adjustment probably needs to be made. Many bands need to have adjustments made at the beginning to get just the right fit. Angie and Jenna(STARband grad 1/21/03) New Band...Red spots???

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2004 Report Share Posted February 1, 2004 Hi and welcome to the group. It does sound like he needs an adjustment so you should leave the band off. It's very common to need a couple adjustments in the beginning to get that perfect fit.
