Guest guest Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 Hi, Anyone keep the band (Star band on our case) on their kids for less than 23hrs/day and still have a successful outcome? I'm not talking about an extreme deviation, but keeping it on for something like maybe 20 hrs/day? I realize that this may prolong the treatment, but can it potentially derail it? Our caregiver reports that our son gets extremely fussy in the early afternoon, and I wonder if it would be OK for him to get an extended break (4 hrs) on a daily basis. Less fussiness would enable our caregiver to devote more time to our older child, whom she also takes care of. I realize that she could take off his helmet, wipe his head and allow him to have a good scratch, and then put the helmet back on, but our son hates having his helmet put back on multiple times. He gets his bath, and the helmet is cleaned when my husband and I get home from work (7pm-ish). Thanks, Anne (7-month old son wearing Starband for almost 4 weeks now) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
