Re: getting our DOCband Wed.

[Guest guest]

Sherry,

CT will give you instructions.

We used PJs w/o collars. Other than that I don't really think there

is anything else we did to prepare.

My kids tolerated their DOC Bands just fine. I did take a couple

nights until we had them wear them 23 hours. We wanted to make sure

they weren't too hot. This also gave us the opportunity to paint.

Good luck Wed.

Thanks

I am worried about overheating. My son is always sweaty normally and

my home is really warm too. Did you adjust the baby's clothing or

anything?

Sherry,

Our PT recommended avoiding collars. After the first few days

sweating wasn't really a problem. DS who is a sweathog was banded

2/14. I think the seasonal timing was perfect for him!

He had a ceiling fan in his room. We may have used that the first

few days, but I don't remember!

If Chase gets warm you can just dress him in a onesie, but we never

had to do this.

Hello,

Just wanted to share with you that my almost 6 month old son got his

DOC band on Monday, Feb. 6th and it has been NO PROBLEM AT ALL!! He

still naps and sleeps well at night and really doesn't seem to

notice the band is there. We were pleasantly surprised by this, as

we had prepared for the worst. Another surprise, We haven't

experienced any " strange " comments when out and about. Living in a

smaller town 2 hours from Charlotte I thought people would be

inquisitive about the band but not so far.... OH yeah, we can

already see some improvement in our son's head after the first week--

just another surprise..I hope this puts you at ease..GOOD LUCK

My son got his first DOCBand at 4.5 months and it took him a few days

to get adjusted it. He was fine during the day, but he had a bit of

trouble sleeping. It turned out that in our efforts to avoid

overheating, we kept his room a bit too cool. Once we figured out the

right temperature and sleeping gear for him, he was back to normal.

Thanks I'm always worried about overheating because my baby always

seems to be hot even with a ceiling fan. I think our heat it too

good. I may have to adjust his clothing I suppose. Now he only

sleeps with a light PJ no onsie and that's plenty

sleeping in it from the first night..I keep the room temp at 68 -

70. He sleeps in feety pj's in a halo sleep sack with a hand knitted

light blanket over that. He never gets up sweaty..He will be

getting his second helmet on the 23rd. I do remember the first week

his head was so stinky when we took it off. But like they said he

adjusted to it and the smell stopped. I use 90 volume alchohol to

clean it every night.
