First 24 hrs in band!

[Guest guest]

Oliver has more or less successfully survived his first 24 hours. We

picked up his band Wed, but he flat out refused to sleep in it, so we

left it off and tried again yesterday. So the first full day went ok,

he took his naps without too much fuss, but when night time came, he

again would not fall asleep, until I laid down next to him in our bed.

We have not coslept except on the rare occation, I don't have anything

against it, it just didn't work for us. And I was reminded again why

we decided that. Oliver got an ok nights sleep, but I did NOT! If I

wasn't worried about blankets and pillows, I was shushing him back to

sleep after being awakened by dad snoring (loudly!) or the dogs

walking around or jangling their collars...

I took him back in today to get a minor adjustment done, the helmet

was slipping down over one eye, so it fits much better now. But he

still won't sleep anywhere but with me, including for naps. How did

you all get your kids to get used to it at night? I know that we're

barely into it, and he will need time to adjust to it, but is there

anything you did to help them continue to sleep in their bed? Oliver

has always been a good sleeper, and has slept through the night in his

crib since he was about 3 months old. And he usually can fall asleep

on his own, until he started wearing the band. Any suggestions would

be helpful.

Thanks! Oh, I posted some pictures in the kids section under Oliver.
