Re: New member - helmet at night?

[Guest guest]

Ruth,

The STARband can most defintely be worn at night and should be. We

have many,many STARband parents here and I don't know of a one that

doesn't sleep their baby in their band. It's really, really important

that the band be worn for 23 hours a day, everyday. Unless the baby

has a fever. Was it your ortho that told you not to have your baby

sleep in his band? Keep us posted, I can't wait to see the pics.
