Ethan is banded and loving it!

[Guest guest]

Ethan got his DOCband yesterday, and he didn't even seem to notice that

anthing was different. We ended up taking it off half-way through the

night, because he had a tough time falling back to sleep, but

considering he didn't get the band until 3pm yesterday, he did great.

(We also had a really long day and he was probably very overtired,

which may have caused the sleep problem at night.) Anyways, I'm so

excited treatment has finally begun and that Ethan is handling his new

gear so well. Having gone through unsuccessful repo and now banding, I

know I'm doing the right thing.

Edina,

That is so awesome!!! Remeber the number one sleep problem at the

beginning is overheating. Dress him lightly(very lightly) at bedtime

and throughout the day, this helps keep the sweating to a minimum and

helps them stay asleep longer. How are the skin checks going, any

other problems or questions?

We are trying to keep him nice and cool, and so far he doesn't seem

to be sweating much. We've had a very hot summer, but we're lucky

that it's now getting cooler as he starts wearing his band. Skin

checks are fine, only very light red spots that disappear quickly.

His first nap today wasn't so great; he woke up crying after 35

mins. (He has been a very good sleeper, so this is unusual.) I'm

guessing sleep will be a bit rougher for him for the first few days,

but hopefully he'll adjust. When he's awake, the band doesn't seem

to bother him at all. In general, how long does it take for babies

to adjust to the band for sleeping?

Edina,

Most will be back at normal schedules and duration by a week. Sounds

like Ethan will do just fine. I am so happy for you that things are

going so smoothly and now you can just wait for the correction to

begin.

Congrats on your newly banded baby!! Sounds like

he'll do fine in it. He'll be sleeping well within

the week. Post some pics of him in hes band when you

get a chance. I'd love to see how cute he is!
