Hello,

you can give a the positives on wearing the band to your wife . For example it will be safe with not hurting babys head and their cranial growth is good. Find more positive things and inform her. My little girl only wore the band for 4 months because we did not take it off . HOpefully this helps.

I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with an older infant wearing a doc band. My concern is that he will simply remove it. He's been evaluated and the next step is the scan and then a band. Another problem is that I'm kinda on my own. My wife has been against the idea from the first time I suggested it over a year ago, so I don't have a ton of support. If the first few days don't go well, she's gonna insist it comes off, and I will not win that fight. She's all broken up about it. I'm not in love with the idea either. I wish I had worked up the courage to just go there ages ago when he was tiny and wouldn't have known better (instead of getting a useless 2nd opinion from another pedi who said, "it'll round out".) But I didn't, so this is really the last chance I have. I just up and called in sick and took him yesterday because the guilt was killing me.Please, any advice would be very

helpful.
