Going nuts with everything little thing

[Guest guest]

So my daughter has been in the band for almost a month and every

little weird change makes me go nuts. For example, one eye looks

smaller than the other eye, her face has become more square than round

(I love her round face), last night she woke up screaming in the

middle of the night (which she never does), etc. So all I do is blame

the band and in the back of my head am so concerned that it might do

some harm. It's difficult because she's only 6 months old so a lot is

changing period but the band has become a scapegoat. Sigh. Just

needed to air my thoughts - does anyone else feel the same?

I'm anticipating all of this. My son is 6 months too and he's getting

his DOCband on 2/17. He has skin issues already and teething and as

you said lots happening. Everyone keeps telling me the 3 months will

go fast. So I'm hoping for that. Just think you're 1/3 of the way!

Sandy,

A lot of parents here have gone through what you're going through. As

long as your orthotist has experience treating plagio babies you

really don't have anything to worry about. No experienced ortho has

ever harmed or made a baby's head worse. At least not in the almost 4

years I've been here.

At 6 mos old waking up screaming could have been gas, teething,

wanting Mommy. It could have been a number of things. Try to relax,

this is a good thing you're doing for your daughter. When all is said

and done you'll be glad you banded her. Keep us posted on her progress.

One month did fly by pretty quickly though the thought of 2 more

seems like a long time. My daughter gets measured in 4 weeks for the

first time after the band so I'm anxious to see how much she has

progressed. Good luck to Chase. I was concerned about skin issues

too but so far so good.
