Re: How did your child adjust to the band?

[Guest guest]

Hi, My daughter did absolutely great! She didn't cry or fuss at all.

I think it's really important to aproach it with a positive attitude,

and you and your baby will get through it just fine. I have some

family members that asked me how I could do that to her and my

response is always, " I'm not doing it TO her, I'm doing it FOR her. "

My Daughter did end up with some red spots and it took about 2 weeks

to have it adjusted properly. It took some patience but it's been

smooth sailing since then. Good luck.

my dd did great from the start. she didn't need any adjustments,

although after a week we went in for a check, because i was a little

paranoid. by two weeks we got and adjustment becuase we had actual

results.

don't feel bad about your son. he probably doesn't even notice it. I

can send you 100's of pics of my dd in her band, and she is smiling

like crazy in all of them.

it is harder for us than from them.

take care. -christine
