Guest guest Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 I saw someone post about bows a while ago, but most people use stickers. Bows do look cute. I'm sure my daughter would have eaten them - but all kids are different. I still can't put anything in her hair because she pulls it out in 2 minutes - and she has wild hair that really needs some bows :-) -christine sydney 2 yrs starband grad > > Hello everyone, > I am new to the group and am basically just jumping in after a short > search. > My dd is 6 mo old and has had the Starband for about ten days.

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 We are decorating our daughter's band with bows. We have an assortment of colors to match every outfit with velcro backing. She hasn't even touched the band, much less the bows so we aren't worried about her pulling them off (and we remove when she is sleeping). It really does look cute and girly!!! > > > > Hello everyone, > > I am new to the group and am basically just jumping in after a short > > search. > > My dd is 6 mo old and has had the Starband for about ten days.

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 My daughter just got her helmet last week and I was planning to do the same thing with the velcro and bows - and here I thought I had a great new idea! :-) What did you use to glue the velcro on? Just superglue? I was also thinking another option would be to put a ribbon " loop " on the helmet that I could just slide the bow clips through...glad to hear someone else has tried it and it has worked! > > > > > > Hello everyone, > > I am new to the group and am basically just jumping in after a short > > search. > > My dd is 6 mo old and has had the Starband for about ten days.

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 I was thinking of doing this, I am sure it looks super cute! I was going through bow withdraws the first week my daughter had the band until I realized I still can put a bow in her hair with the DOC Band. She was 5 month old and born with tons of hair so I could still do the Pebbles hair style. I see nothing wrong with adding the bow, just taking the same precausion as you would if you put it in her hair. You go girl!

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 That's a really cute idea. My daughter was also born with a ton of hair and it sticks straight up out of the top of the helmet. I didn't even think to try putting a bow in it pebbles style. > > > > Hello everyone, > > I am new to the group and am basically just jumping in after a short > > search. > > My dd is 6 mo old and has had the Starband for about ten days.

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 I think that is a good point: take the same precautions as you would with any bow in the hair. I guess I had kindof gotten the vibes from some people here and there that " Ooo you could kill your kid if she gets a hold of that! " And, yes, any child could choke on their bow, but it really isn't any more of a threat than any other child! We have to take the same precautions plus just checking the velcro as we check the rest of its parts. My friend wants to start a " bow business " for the helmets. She asked our orthotist if she could leave business cards at the office for mothers who might be interested. I think your comment kind of puts things into perspective. I am going to encourage her to do it! So how does one add this decorating idea to the " decorating " file? > > > > Hello everyone, > > I am new to the group and am basically just jumping in after a short > > search. > > My dd is 6 mo old and has had the Starband for about ten days.
