Guest guest Posted November 6, 2004 Report Share Posted November 6, 2004 We stopped cold turkey with Aidan and it didn't seem to be a problem. At her older age I don't think you should worry about regression. I'm happy that everything worked out for you. Please post some B & A pix if you have some.

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2004 Report Share Posted November 7, 2004 Congratulations!!! it's so nice to get to the end of this. I also have the same concern with my daughter- i'm afraid I don't have the answer. It is very hard to do the stretching exercises with an older child, but I'm going to work on the neck again, as Lulu also sleeps on the old flat spot. Well done!

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2004 Report Share Posted November 7, 2004 Congratulations to Mackenzie and you! I too agree that regression will be quite unlikely. Perhaps you can take your own pictures to watch (if she will stay still of course!) Thanks for sharing her story and for posting B & A pics if you have them. I think you will help other members who are considering banding an " older " baby. Take care. Sue Colin F., 13 mos.

Guest guest Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 Hi Lana, Congrats on Mackenzie's graduation! How exciting! Regression is very rare luckily, and hopefully something you wont' have to deal with. , mom to Hannah, DOCgrad Cape Cod, Ma --- In Plagiocephaly , " lanamuoio " <LanaMuoio@a...> wrote: > > I'm proud to say my little angel made it through 41/2 months with no > problems...
