First Night...dents, red spots and Babywise

[Guest guest]

Last night was our daughter's first night in her DOC Band. The people

at the office were great at educating us on what to expect. I assumed

that this morning, when she woke up and we removed her helmet that

there would be some intense red spots. To my surprise, there were no

red spots at all in the pressure areas. There was, however, a dent

where the helmet comes up over her head on the right side. Is this

normal? My first thought is " Oh no, no red spots means it's too big "

and then I'm thinking " They didn't tell me about dents " ...Also, I don't

know if any of you guys were using Babywise with your little ones, but

if you did, can you please let me know how adjusting to this and

keeping your Babywise theories all played out?

Thanks!

one of the last photos.

I ATTEMPT to do BW with my daughter, but she is a short napper, so it's a challenge. Nothing has really changed with her schedule, with the exception of night wakings. She is waking about 3 times after she goes to bed at night. She didn't STTN before she got the band, but she was only getting up 1 time. Her naps are not affected at all (she was a short napper before the band), but her night time sleep has been affected.

There is a Babywise Mom's group...are you a member? If not, you should join..it's a great resource!
