Hi & welcome!

Some parents do complain of their newly banded baby having difficulty

sleeping at first, but the baby will normally adjust.

Does Nickolas have brachy headshape? I've heard that often, babies

get so accustomed to sleeping on their flat spots, that it is

different to them sleeping on a rounded surface of their bands, so

that may be his problem. I'm sorry he's having such a hard time, I

can imagine how frustrating this is!!

Keep us posted.

Hi ,

I'm sorry that the band is affecting his sleep. Hopefully he will

get used to it. My son's band didn't change his sleep habits so I

don't have advice to offer, sorry,

Hi ,

Welcome to the group! I know the waking up screaming must really

give you a start, and I'm sure it's no fun to try and get him to

settle down after that.

If he is wearing it 23 hours a day without much problem, it bodes

well that he will eventually settle into the band wear through the

night, and everyone can start getting their usual sleep. How does

he do during naptime?

Good luck with the nighttime effort, and I'm keeping my fingers

crossed that he gets used to it soon!

Hi ,

We also use the Connecticut CT clinic! The only advice I can offer

is to be sure he isn't too warm. I think the band gets itchier if

they're really sweating in it. I hope it gets better for you soon.
