Naomi -- Re: Toddler Is Rejecting FAB -- Won't Sleep -- Need Help!!!

[Guest guest]

That's helpful. Our guy is not talking as well as yours yet, but he

seems to understand everything. The last two nights I have put the

FAB on after he falls asleep. I think the battle royale we were

engaged in was a large part of the sleep disturbance. Anyway, he

slept through last night -- yay! I am wondering when to start

putting them on again while he is awake, if at all. He does not

usually wear them during the day -- he is on a 10 hour regimen.

Right now, he is all about walking and I suspect that would cause

more conflict.

Thanks for your suggestion-
