Re: 10 month old frustrated by casts

If I remember right it didn't take Becky long to get over being

frustrated, to being all over the place maybe a couple of days?.

She was more upset about not getting a bath than anything (she LOVES

baths).

It has only been one day. I am sure that he will be fine.

Every baby is so different there's really no telling. My only advice here

(having gone through it) is to not coddle them too much lest they become

dependent on mom instead of figuring out their own methods of mobility. It's

hard to watch them struggle, I know, but the rewards will be worth it because

he'll be happier knowing how to move himself than be dependent on every little

movement to come from Mom. My son eventually climbed stairs and on to furnature

and could cruise holding things wearing his two full length casts.

10 month old frustrated by casts

My son just got his first set of casts yesterday and is very

frustrated that the casts make it difficult to crawl and almost

impossible to go from the crawling position back to sitting. I have

to help him every time. I know he will eventually adjust to the casts

and won't be so frustrated, but I'm wondering how long it will take.

Anyone else experience this? About how long did it take for them to

get over the frustration?
