Re: Pic of Ty in his StarBand

[Guest guest]

How horrible.. teething and a new band at the same time!?!? My heart

goes out to you!!!

I checked out the pic and I don't think that it seems to be too low.

My son, Jack, has a DocBand and his is actually a little lower than

that. It looks good!

It will get easier and easier for him to adjust as time goes on!!!

Good Luck!!!!

I just checked out Ty's picture. He is a cutie! I don't think his

band is to low. I think my daughter Jenna's STARband came down a

bit lower. Please keep us posted.

I think I want to pick him up and snuggle hime! He is adorable!

Unless it dips lower than this to cover his eye(s), I too do not

think it's too low. It looks like a good fit. You are off to a good

start!!!

Hi there

I agree with everyone else- he's so cute, and his band looks like a

good fit! It is important that the band covers as much of the

forehead as possible to help round out any bossing or asymmetry, so

you don't want it riding high. My daughter Lucia's helmet is lower

than that but she can still see!

By the way- I see Ty has those gorgeous little roundy baby legs-

Lucia has those and I have to stop strange grannies squeezing them

when we are out- they are so cute!

Good luck with it- teething is no fun either, we've just had four

weeks of it between the first and second tooth to appear- it came

through today, and not a moment too soon!
