Re: Cost of a STARband

[Guest guest]

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?
