Guest guest Posted September 7, 2004 Report Share Posted September 7, 2004 got his STARBand on Friday and appears to be adjusting to it well. He is now up to 23hrs and the only issue he seems to have is he now wakes up at 5:00am for a feed - may only be coincedence. We have some concerns about the fit, the Band seems slightly loose and move (albiet very slightly) especially when he is on his back. It also sometimes cover his left eye (very slightly) and pushes against his ear (again very slightly) on the opening side but he doesn't seem bothered and no red spots have appeared. I have e-mailed Mottramn pictures but he is coming to our house on Monday (fantastic service! - we are quite close to him and he is in the area) so we are happy to wait until then. How tight should the Band fit, has Brachy and so I understand that the main purpose of the helmet is to have a void at the back of his head (there is one) but to also hold the sides and front - my concern is that the fit is not tight enough at the sides and front. Any views I would say that Mottram adjusted the Band a few times at the fitting and checked carefully that everything was OK. We have had very good reaction from friends and people in general - his older brothers think its great.

Guest guest Posted September 8, 2004 Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 Update on 's sleeping My wife has told me (I have been away on business) that had a terrible night last night - he is at an age when our other 2 boys had a dip in their sleeping patterns so hopefully it is not connected to the band. Did anyone else had sleeping problems soon after fitting Noam --- In Plagiocephaly , " Angie Pope " <apope04@c...> wrote: > Please let us know what you find out on mOnday.
