Guest guest Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 Kerry, Thanks for the advice. I totally agree about plagio risks being so minor in comparison to SIDS. Just have to think big picture and not focus so much on this. It's so new right now, it's hard to not think about it. At least we are getting some good tummy time throughout the day.

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 Hi. I know the temptation is great to let your child sleep on his stomach. The problem is that back sleeping is the safest way to sleep your child. How old is your son? When my oldest was a baby, his pediatrician told us that he could sleep on his tummy only when he could roll there and back by himself because then we couldn't really control it anyway. Side sleeping had been an alternative. Unfortunately, the AAP has released a statement saying that while they used to say Back sleeping was safest, that side sleeping was better than tummy sleeping, their opinion now is that side sleeping is bad bad bad, and it is just to be back sleeping. We repositioned my dd to get her head rounded out and some of the things you can do to keep him sleeping on his back is to rotate his position in the bed so that his head is at alternating ends of the crib. This way he has to look in different directions each time to see the room. You can also hang toys and baby mirrors on the side of the crib to which you want him to look. Definitely talk to your pediatrician, though. He/she may have some other suggestions for keeping your son on his back but off his flat spot. Good luck and please let us know if you have anymore questions. Becky , repo grad Pittsburgh, PA > > I have read alot on how the " back to sleep " campaign has increased the > incidence of plagio.

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 Becky, My son is 11wks and does not roll over yet. Definately can't wait til he is old enough to decide himself how he wants to sleep. I am just doing tummy during the day. At night he is back on his back, which usually he tends to favor his right side (this is where he is flat). Maybe we will try some of the suggestions I saw for nighttime sleeping with the rolls to force him to go left. Now I am concerned about overcompensating??? I asked the neuro today if we should feed him exclusively with our left hand and he seemed vague like yes, but it's okay if you don't....I want to do whatever is best and will provide the most results. I feel like we are on a countdown only 6 weeks to improve. Kim > > > > I have read alot on how the " back to sleep " campaign has increased > the > > incidence of plagio.

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 Hi all, My 8 mo old son started his helmet today. I was wondering who tried repositioning and had little or no sucess? From 4 mos. we tried so hard to avoid this helmet by repositioning, but our baby had sleep issues to begin with, then when we forced him to sleep on his side or belly he just wouldnt have it. He is so strong he always wriggled out of his positioner back on to his favorite (right) side. I would wake up to move him again, and hed just keep turning back. LOL so stubborn! We did stop sitting him in bouncy chairs and swings alltogether, but sometimes I feel like I didnt try hard enough... Did anyone have 100% luck with repositioning?

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2006 Report Share Posted January 21, 2006 Hi, You're not alone there are a lot of us here who didn't do so well w/repoing our babies. We do have success stories too. I don't think it's b/c we didn't try hard enough. Repoing is really hard work and it must be done 24 hours a day, everyday. Not all babies will cooperate. Don't worry I'm sure you did the best you could. I ended up making my baby's head worse, I made her good side, bad. Keep us posted on your little one. > > Hi all, > > My 8 mo old son started his helmet today. I was wondering who tried repositioning and had > little or no sucess?

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2006 Report Share Posted January 21, 2006 I just wanted to comment that we tried repo with my Daughter, , from about 2 mo until 6 mo and had very very little success. She had tort, so keeping her off her right side was pretty much impossible. She got her band shortly after she turned 7 mo and she had great results from the band (she wore it for 11 weeks). If your Son does have tort, that makes repo very very hard. I'm sure you did the best you possibly could. REpositioning is a very hard job and doesn't always work for everyone. You are a great Mom for doing your best and getting him the help he needs! Jen (17.5 mo), tort resolved, Hanger Band Grad (4 yrs) > > Hi all, > > My 8 mo old son started his helmet today.

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2006 Report Share Posted January 21, 2006 yes, he has torticollis diag at age 5 mos, we did the PT but he is just too darn stubborn and strong. the work we did during the day was undone at night, when he settled into that flat spot on his right. > > > > Hi all, > > > > My 8 mo old son started his helmet today.

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2006 Report Share Posted January 21, 2006 Hi, Is your son still in physical therapy? Or at least getting home stretches? If not, he really should be. It's really important his tort is being addressed. Tort can really hold a baby back, make them late reaching milestones, make them favor the non tort side. There's other things that it can cause too. It's a zoo here right now and I don't have time to type them all out, sorry. > > > > > > Hi all, > > > > > > My 8 mo old son started his helmet today.

I think early detection was the key to our success. Don't beat yourself up over going with the helmet. Repo is not applicable to every baby. Good luck!

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2006 Report Share Posted January 21, 2006 Hello, Congratulations on your son getting his helmet today! How has he been settling in with it since you posted? I hope everything is going well. Repo just doesn't work for every baby, so please don't be disappointed with your efforts. I know how hard repo is... we repo'd our daughter Remy from 5 to about 12 months, and got great correction. On our side was the fact that 1) she didn't have tort, and 2) that she voluntarily started sleeping on her side at 5 month of age. I think somewhere in the neighborhood of 75-80% of plagio babies have tort, and tort can seriously undermine repo efforts. Many times, nighttime repo of a baby with marked tort is just impossible, which sounds like the situation with your son. I would say that many more parents try repo but have to move on to a band than are able to get correction with repo alone. Please keep us posted on how your son is progressing in his helmet! I'm very impressed that you did move on to a helmet in a timely enough manner so that he is still young enough to get great correction from a helmet. It can be difficult to call it quits on repo when you have invested so much time and energy, but it's so important to stay objective and know when repo just isn't working. Take care, Christie (Mom to Repo'd Remy) > > Hi all, > > My 8 mo old son started his helmet today. I was wondering who tried repositioning and had > little or no sucess?

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 Hi, I tried repositioning my daughter for about a month. She just would not stay off the back of her held. We held her all day and at night we would try to move her head, thinking she's in a deep sleep and she'd move it back immmediately. Sydney is now in a DOC band. I have to say I was relieved b/c repositioning was so tough and I barely got any sleep. Sydney has only been in the band for a week and we already see results!

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 Hi, I'm always jealous of the repo success stories We too attempted repo with both our daughters. na was repo'ed from 2 - 4 months with little effect. She wore 2 DOC bands. Kiersten was repo'd from birth to 7 months. She was just banded 1/10 and we think maybe there is already some rounding Repo is hard. I like to think that all of my efforts were not wasted. I just think how much more severe their asymmetries would have been if we had done nothing. na, 2 1/2 yrs, DOC Grad Feb 04, Tort Resolved Kiersten, 7 1/2 months, DOC 1/10/06, Tort www.thefilyaws.com > > > > > > Hi all, > > > > > > My 8 mo old son started his helmet today.
