nighttime seems to be getting worse...one more t hing

[Guest guest]

I forgot to mention that Ava endlessly rubs her eyes when tired/can't

sleep if she's in the helmet. I never noticed her doing this before.

I'm not sure if the helmet is somehow making her eyes itchy? But

that is the main thing that is interfering with nursing: she pulls

off and brings her arms up to her eyes and rubs like crazy. She

doesn't seem to be having any other allergic-type reactions and the

helmet does not feel like it would be itchy at all. Our ortho is great

and has made a few adjustments already...so i'm sure I can go back if

need be and ask him, but also wanted your thoughts.

thanks.

Dylan did the same thing his first couple weeks in his STARband. I thought it was allergies too. I think he was just getting use to the helmet being so close to his eyes and he was tired. He actually just stopped doing it so I would give a couple of weeks.
