Band is coming off after 7 weeks...and I wish it wasn

[Guest guest]

He started at 5 months and will have a total of 7 weeks of therapy. This may

sound

strange, but I'm not thrilled about my son's band coming off so soon. I love

the progress

he's made but I was hoping for better aesthetic results at the end. That isn't

my real

concern though. I am worried about his head reverting back after the band comes

off

since so far he still sleeps on his back and doesn't yet roll or sit up and

doesn't stay on his

tummy voluntarily. I was hoping he'd be in it a few months and would have better

motor

skills once it came off (he is in PT for delay).

I know most people can't wait for it to be off but I don't mind the bad. He's

happy in it,

and I don't care about stares (he had serious health issues so getting banded

didn't give

me a moments bit of concern, it felt great to be able to *do* something for him

even if it

wasn't about one of the bigger problems). I was able to stop worrying about his

head on

the mattress, changing table, playing on the play gym, riding in the car seat

and stroller. I

didn't have to reposition at night or keep a noggin nest under his head or

strain my back

with a baby carrier all day anymore. At six months babies skull's are still

malleable so I

feel like when it comes off I have to go back to head patrol duty. I don't want

to end up

with him needing another band.

Any advice from people who have finished banding with a young baby who isn't

mobile

yet?
