You washed the band with bath wash and water? What kind of

band did you have? Orthomerica specifically says that the band should not

get wet.

I occasionally washed with baby bath wash

and water, then towel dried it and blow dried it to make sure it was thoroughly

dried.

Orthomerica, maker of the STARband, also

recommends rubbing alcohol and

applying with a washcloth or soft toothbrush. Another tip they suggest is

placing it in the sun to dry. Our ortho told us not to scrub the dark spots

too well as seeing the spots showed her where the baby's head was making

contact with the band and therefore where it needed to be shaved down during

an adjustment (get the band clean but not so clean that you can't see the

spots).

Re: Any advice for the stink?

Do you have a DOCBand from CT? I'm not 100% sure of what other orthos

recommend, but CT said to use alcohol and an old washcloth (for the

rough texture) or soft toothbrush. Also for stains (cause it can get

pretty dirty), I was told to scrub it with a dry washcloth first, to

get that texture in there to scrub at the layer of gunk. I usually use

a toothbrush and scrub three times each night (all at once). Also,

once you start getting some adjustments, about half of the stinky

parts get scraped out and it isn't as bad.

Glad to hear Braydon's doing well!
