Re: New to Group - DocBand Question & Trouble Sleeping

[Guest guest]

Hi , sorry about the name confusion. It is late here. )

PLEASE do NOT use lanolin on the band. I know in the one case that

it was ok to use, but I'm not sure what band that was and as far as

I know it is not ok in DOCbands. The hydro-cortisone cream should

help. She might have just had another growth spurt though too. When

they grow they need another adjustment over night sometimes. I would

try to get back there and have them take a look at it and when you

put the band back on I would probably take it off every so often and

do skin checks. If the skin breaks down then you will lose treatment

time and that would not be good. If you had to leave her out for a

day that is ok. We were told that up to 2days isn't really a big

deal. hope that helped some.
