Re: New to Group - Any Advice??

[Guest guest]

Another thing to use in the swing or crib or bouncy is memory foam.

for infants you can get the " cheaper " 1 1/2 foam at walmart or

target. cut a piece to go between the swing fabric and base. We

cut a couple peices and put them in waterproof pillow encasings and

then pillow cases. We then put them where we needed them. We also

put memory foam in her crib and pack-n-play. However, due to her

torticollis the memory foam and repo just weren't enough and our

daughter is in a DOC band.

I also wanted to warn you - if your child has any signs or

torticollis then you need to be careful with the exercauser and

jumperoo. They do not encourage proper head holding so it may

encourage the tort.
