Re: What are signs that baby is outgrowing the band?

[Guest guest]

We has a starband that has foam inside. The foam is sanded/carved away

to make room for growth. The baby " outgrows " the band when there is no

more foam to remove, so the band can't be adjusted. (Hanger and

Docbands are like this too). So normally if you have a red spot & /or

the band is tight, they just adjust it by removing foam. I think the

starlight band is heated and reshaped to make room for growth.

The tugging could be that the band is uncomfortable, or just that your

daughter is more aware of the band now that she's older.

Let us know what happens on Tuesday.
