Guest guest Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 Most likely you'll see some improvement in the next few weeks and that will make things easier. My daughter had at least a little improvement at every visit, so I felt like it was worth it. -christine sydney 2.5 yrs starband grad > > So today officially ends my daughter adjustment period with her > helmet.

Guest guest Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 My daughter has a blanket, she can't go anywhere without it. THey have been sleeping with it since they were little babies. first swaddled now they cuddle it and have been since 5 1/2 months. I am glad things are going well for you. I put her helmet on this morning nd so far so good. Her sister hasn't even started to pull on it (yet). So fingers crossed my angel will do as well as yours. > > Good luck tomorrow. Today is day six for us and so far so good. Does your daughter have a lovey or a special blanket she can sleep with to make the nights go easier. I let my 9 month old sleep with his favorite blanket. I also use a video monitor (best money ever spent) so I can keep an eye on him. > ____________________________________________________________ > Summer Spa Sweepstakes > Enter for your chance to WIN a Summer Spa Vacation! > http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL2131/fc/JKFkuJNzt9amMIOPHPPfKd8MbxTk JLvjiQlbWbKXY54covFtpbb7Ft/ > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
