Yes, Christian did fuss the first time around which was when he was 6 days

old. At the casting time he fell asleep, like Aidan, but when we got home

and at night for the first couple days he was very irritable. Now, the

second round of casting (the right way) at 6 months, he cried like a maniac

during the casting but was fine at home. I think a lot of it has to do with

the difference in his age between the first set and the second go round. I

think Aidan just might need some time to get used to it.

How much does Aidan weigh now? He must still be tiny right? Little tiny

fingers and toes :-)

Do you have a bad feeling about this doctor? I know you said you questioned

him and he seemed to know what he was talking about.

He cried when he pulled his foot out but when he started wrapping the cast

he kinda fell asleep. He's been a little fussy tonight and my husband and I

have been taking turns comforting him, he doesn't want to be put down -

unlike him. Usually, he can lie on his own and just look around till he

falls asleep. I'm hoping he isn't fussy because his feet hurt? I didn't

think it was supposed to hurt? Anyway, I did give him a little bit of baby

Tylenol with his bottle. I hope this doctor knows what he's doing.

Honestly, he seems a little bit arrogant to me. For now, we're going to

have to put our trust him.

Did Christian or was fussy at all with his first cast? I'm hopeing he's

fussy because he's getting used to it.

How did the casting go today? Did he cry or was he calm through it? I hope

it went well.

I wanted to post this because no-one but you guys can really appreciate

this. Christian is now sleeping through the night with the DBB on and he is

napping again on his own. He is trying to crawl in it and still rolls like

crazy. It hasn't slowed him down one bit!! I am soooooooooooooooo happy

:-).

Thank you so much for helping me through this.
