Re: To Frances and Jakub re brachy growth

[Guest guest]

Hi Frances

It sounds like he is growing quite a bit if he is going to outgrow

the band within 5/6 weeks. You may well see results in that time- I

think it's hard to remember what they were like before, and

certainly the stats look like you are making progress. With a

younger baby there is always a chance they will outgrow the band

fairly quickly, but also see correction fairly quickly.

The other possibility is a second band (depending on finances/your

feelings towards it etc), but you are not there yet, and given that

this is a time of maximum growth (4-6- months), it's definitely

worth seeing what the next few weeks hold before deciding you are

not happy. Good luck when you go to visit CT and let us know how you

get along.
