RE: Shewwwweeee....stinky little head!!!

[Guest guest]

no tips on the odor for ya. Our's stinks too but only when it hasn't been

cleaned. What if you let it dry under a light? Also, CT told us that his

band would turn yellow to not worry about trying to keep the inside white.

Wish I knew. Kennedy's head and band smell like wet gym socks. I use Baby Don't Cry shampoo which works great on her hair...but the band STINKS! I scrub it too. I am embarrassed by the smell because a lot of people apparently like to sniff baby heads and my baby's head is not sweet smelling.

I totally feel you on the embarrassed thing. I feel like people are

going to think I don't bathe my child or something. Plus, I am in

the habit of kissing his little head a zillion times a day. This has

certainly put a damper on that! LOL!!!

My son, 's Star band has gotten pretty nasty at times. We were told not to

get it

wet with water b/c if water gets in between the foam and the plastic then it can

start

to mold. At it's worst we have has to wash 's helmet 8-10 times in a row and

put

it in the sun (over a two day period) to get rid of the smell.

After the two day wash-a-thon we would wash it (with alcohol) twice per day. We

are

now back to washing it once per day.

There has to have been some kind of nasty bacteria growing in there. It was

quite

warm at the time and would sweat a lot--the helmet was a nice wet, warm,

and

dark place. We did win the battle though and we haven't has a problem since. I

would

wash it more often with alcohol until the smell goes away.
