Re: BOOTS AND BAR OFF FOR MORE THAN AN HOUR

[Guest guest]

Hi Jen,

I hope is feeling better, do all the kids have it or just

him? Let me know if you find any of the products the mommies

mentioned, I would think we would have them in Canada. I haven't had

to deal with a cold or cough yet but would be interested in what

works for you guys. I do have an asperator and am not looking forward

to using it, it looks medival hehe!!

As to leaving is bar off for a bit longer, I wouldn't think 30 min.

would make much difference. If you were talking hours maybe but

minutes I don't see how that could make a huge difference, especially

since he is less than 2 weeks away from reduced hours anyway (YEAH!!)!

Once again, hope your little guy feels better!

I totally understand. I have 3 as well and my CF baby is the little

one. Which is why I often just didn't take them off. It was easier to

leave them on for me. And I don't bathe infants daily either. It's not

like they get dirty.

I would try to just do the hour if it were me, but I'm sure a half an hour

won't cause great harm. I just would err on the side of caution if I had

to make the choice and if it got to looking too busy with the other

children I'd just not take them off rather than deal with getting them back

on late.

Jen, I doubt in the scheme of things if a half an hour or so here and there

would cause any long term problems. Half a day, maybe.....but ya, it's hard to

be totally militant about the timing. If you get them on late, just try to

leave them on that much longer before they come off again.

if you do have to use the aspirator (aka booger sucker, haha) it really

does help to swaddle the child very securely, otherwise they'll be kicking and

hitting so much you'll end up poking it in their eye, mouth, ear,..... every

where but their nostrils. Last winter I'd swaddle Everett and then lay him on

the sofa against the back of it so he couldn't swing his head side to side.

It's gross but it really does help since they can't blow their own nose yet.

Makes sense...she hates being swaddled but so does my cat and I have

had to do that a few times to give medicine, swaddling her will be

much safer I think LOL!

YES, it happens!! That hour goes by SO fast and I also have two other

children who keep me quite busy and distracted. I took to setting the

timer on my stove (doesn't shut off unless I hit a button) so I would

have to stop what I was doing to put 's shoes back on.

Obviously you wnat to do the 23/7 becasue it's important but I don't

think a slip occassionally is going to ruin the treatment. If I went

more than just a little bit past the hour, then I wouldn't take them

off at all the next day.

LOL! You know, I was going to say " Wrap them like a cat " but I figured no one

would know what I was talking about!

JEN AND ALEXANDER,

I can relate, I only have one child, but have a zoo at home; 2 Bulldogs, 1

Chihuahua and 2 Parrots - not to mention the house, chores, and hubby who helps

a great deal with it all.

I've come across at times that I've let just a few minutes go by, but my

suggestion would be to set a TIMER. Even the alarm clock or whatever works.

I've been thinking of doing that - it's not like we forget, it's just we get

wrapped up in our routine. I know I do. I use a timer alot - for many

things....hope that is a good suggestion.

Jen, I'm sure that it has happened to many of us on occassion. What

I tend to do if we're 'late' getting the brace on is to keep it on

for that much longer at the other end (ie., if I'm supposed to get it

on at 7pm but it's closer to 8pm when it goes on, rather than take it

off at 7am the next morning, I'll leave it until 8am.)

Hope this helps,
