Tell me this gets better?????

[Guest guest]

Hello,

had his casts off yesterday. It is lovely to see his little

legs and feet at last. However, he HATES the boots, just as I have

been warned. He cries constantly, sometimes quite hysterically. Last

night I only got 2 or 3 hours sleep - lying in the living room on the

chair with on top of me. He simply would NOT go in his crib,

even though this was all he knew for his night sleeps. In fact, he

would not lie on his back at all, and would only rest on my tummy. I

know it is unsafe to let a baby sleep on their stomachs, so I'm too

nervous to put him down like that. Please tell me he will get used to

this quickly, and learn to sleep again!!!

Also, how do I know if I'm getting the straps too tight? He squirms

out of his boots quite quickly, and I had to redo the process several

times during the night. Even the nurse at the docs office had a hard

time getting him in his boots, and we landed up going home without

them on! So now I have them REALLY tight, but I worry that I could be

cutting off the blood supply. With his socks on, I have no way of

telling if blood is circulating or not.

Another question.... with the bar on now, he doesn't fit into his car

seat. Either his legs are way up in the air, or his bottom is not

snug at the back of the seat. Any suggestions? Do I need to get

another car seat?

Thanks,

and bc
