Re: How much improv. can be seen in a month?

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

My son has improved somewhat through repositioning, but only very

slowly. Since he was very young like your daughter, he still spent a

lot of time on his back which didn't help at all. Whenever I turned

my back, he was back on his plagio side We finally decided to band

and it was the best decision we ever made. In just one week, we saw

more improvement than with 2 months of repo. I feel that by starting

this early, we were able to take advantage of the rapid growth

during the early months in a way repo'ing could have never done.

Good luck!
