Guest guest Posted November 27, 2004 Report Share Posted November 27, 2004 Hi there It might be worth making sure he is cool during naps and sleep in addition to the very sensible advice of sticking with it. My daughter used to get quite hot and bothered during naps- so keep the room really cool (almost cold), dress him lightly (no socks, just a onesie, a very light covering), and take the helmet off after a nap to let any sweat dry (hopefully if you keep him cool, he won't sweat too much anyway). I know I'm boring, and I know I go and on about keeping babies cool (see my other posts, it's all I ever say!), but I really think a lot of early problems of adjusting and red spots are made worse by not keeping babies cool enough and letting them get hot and sweaty- the band starts to itch and the baby starts to pull at it...I think it is so easy to underestimate how hot the bands make them. Hope it goes ok, I'm sure he'll adjust pretty quickly. Hannah (mum to Lucia, London, UK) Cranio grad > > > > Hi Everyone, > > First time to your site.
