Guest guest Posted March 23, 2001 Report Share Posted March 23, 2001 My son is 9 months old and has been in the band for 2 weeks. He is always sweaty, too. I have to take it off and towel off the band and his head all the time. I'm worried, too, about the summer because we live in Texas. I have been dressing him in shorts and short-sleeves to try to keep him cool, but he is getting a heat rash on his back. I feel really bad for him, but I don't know what to do. ----- Original Message ----- From: corrie43@...

Max is in the helmet which cover about3/4 of his head and whenever we take it off his head is always sweaty. I have been dressing him in short sleeves to lower his body temp a little. I can't even imagine how uncomfortable he'll be in the heat of the summer. Any ideas or tips? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 23, 2001 Report Share Posted March 23, 2001 Sweaty heads are common in the first few days-weeks that baby gets his helmet. For the most part, the babies adjust and the sweating decreases dramatically, but there will likely always be a bit there, especially in the summer. No, I have never heard of a baby overheating because of a helmet, but do keep your kids in the air conditioning and dressed lightly on warm days. Take the helmet off every hour or so to towel away any sweat and the inside of the helmet, then put it back on.

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2001 Report Share Posted March 23, 2001 Corrie, Max's head will be extra sweaty for the first few weeks, but the excessive sweating does decrease as you baby's body temperature adjusts to the new situation. It really is amazing how adaptable babies are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
