Re: 3 days in band and screaming at night

[Guest guest]

Hi,

Welcome to the group. I'm sorry to hear your son is having a hard

time at night with his band. It just takes some babies longer than

others to adjust. Maybe he's having a hard time getting comfortable

on his own? I'm sure in time, he'll be back to his usual night time

sleep. Keep us posted.

if there are no red spots it may not be the band. My daughter is 21

weeks as well and has started to wake up several times a night all of

a sudden. I think she is teething, could that be possible for your

son?

--- Natasha, He has been teething for a few weeks, but the screaming

started the night he first had the band on. I hope it is not the

band. I gave him tylenol every four hours last night it helped him to

sleep. Maybe between the teething and new feeling of the helmet he is

uncomfortable.

I hope this passes. I feel bad for the little guy.

Zander has been waking up in the middle of the night lately too. He

*never* did that before. He's not banded yet, so I'm pretty sure

he's teething. Maybe your little one has a combination of the two.

Maybe he's hurting from the teething and having the helmet on now

causes him to be even more uncomfortable. Poor little guy. I hope

he gets use to it and you can all get some sleep soon.
