Guest guest Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 Hi Lori It is quite common to have babies go for an adjustment in the first week, I can understand that you must feel frustrated though, as you just want to get on with it now. It won't affect the outcome, though, at 5 months you have loads of time- my daughter was out of her band for three weeks out of four months due to heat rashes and a series of fevers and she still saw complete correction (and we started at 6 1/2) months. However, I agree with you that the orthotist should not encourage you to keep putting a band back on that is causing a deep red spot that lasts two hours (when the band has only been on for three). It's really important not to just ignore a really red spot but to get an adjustment done, especially if you feel it is pressing there as well. So you have done the right thing in holding off I think- plus you can't check it every two hours at night anyway. Hope it has got sorted today, let us know how you got on.
