Re: New to the group / have so many concerns

[Guest guest]

Hi Sandy,

I'm Kerry and our kids are different-my Noah is 8 mos. and has very

mild plagio and we have been doing repo for 2 mos. with small but

noticeable success. I do have a suggestion for you, though. I use a

small doll pillow folded width wise and safety pinned to the back

shoulder of a onesie. This works well to keep Noah tipped enough

when on his back to keep his head turned the way I want (until he

eventually turns to his tummy). My mom made the pillow for my

daughter's dolls but you could easily make one yourself or stuff a

large man's sock with lots of fiberfill?. I just reuse the same

onesie for several nights in a row and put clean footed jammies over

it every night (big enough at the neck to accomodate the bulk of the

pillow - I leave top snap unsnapped). This way I don't have to pin

the pillow to new jammies every night, and the pins tend to make

holes in the jammies so this way the holes only get on the onesie.

You could do this but use two onesies, with a pillow pinned on

opposite sides on each and then alternate their use each night.

Christie will be your best resource since Remy also had brachy, so

maybe she has thoughts on wether this might work for you.
