Re: Sleeping with DBB and shoes near head

[Guest guest]

lol, Darbi doesn't do this in her sleep (she folds on her side and they're

close to her head but doesn't lift her legs over her head) but apparently

it's not that uncommon. Why not pad the bar with pipe foam just in

case? I don't know how y'all do it without the pipe foam - I can't stand

just the metal bar. I tape it on with athletic tape, tape the bottom and

the edges of the bar (where she stands and leans on the thin edge and it

cuts the foam) and where the nuts are on the ends so it doesn't wear

through very fast.

Hi, we are gong through the same thing. Yesterday I bought

foam " carpet " for the bath- the one you can buy by the meters. It

looks like strips of foam and it can be bought in hardware stores.

I cut it and glued it to the bar. It works pretty good- no more

marks on the forehead. I wrapped it with the padding for the car sit

belt- for babies so I can wash it and not replace the foam.

We also cover Oshri with a big (light) blanket so even if he rools

over to the side his legs and shoes are always covers.

Hope it helps. (I found it difficult to explain those things in

English. Please write me if you don't understand).

Idit, mom to Oshri, 8 month. BL ClubFoot, heavy DBB for 16 hours, 3

teeth. http://truly_clubfoot.tripod.com - website in Hebrew. To see

Hi,

My daughter Rose did the same thing! She never actually bonked herself in the

head, but that bar would be within an inch of her head and she would be sound

asleep. At least for us, that phase passed, I think about the time she started

really crusing the furniture.

Does anyone else have this problem? If so, have they ever hit

their head? Or is there any suggestions?

DD has hit herself in the head twice with the bar. Now at almost a

year she has not done it. I tried the foam with tape over and she

ate it. I think it was here once that I heard someone using a bike

handle pad to cover the bar since there is a cover on it.
