Re: New to the band - repositioning

[Guest guest]

Hi Dawn,

Repositioning is usually effective up until about 6 months. By this

time growth has slowed and the babies are usually able to wiggle out

of position. Depending on the severity of the asymmetry you may be

able to avoid the bands entirely - or at least minimize the time

they need to spend in the band. There are a lot of great repo tips

in the file section. Good luck!
