Guest guest Posted January 21, 2006 Report Share Posted January 21, 2006 Hi Rosel, Actually only a small percentage of DOCband babies require more than one band. I forget the exact number but it's pretty low. Active bands should only be worn for 4.5 months maximum. After 4.5 months CT says they lose their holding points. making them ineffective. That's why sometimes you'll hear of a baby needing more than one band. I'm surprised your STARband was so much too! How is , have you seen anymore rounding post band?
