Re: We're new here :-)

Welcome ,

for some reason there are tons of Skokie moms in the group right now

:-) My daughter wore a starband for brachy starting at 5 mo old and

got very good correction. Most babies do very well in the band, and

adjust quickly. Some babies take a week or so to sleep normally, but

others don't even notice it is there. You are starting at a good age,

and the time goes very quickly.

Keep us posted on how he does.
