Re: In need of some advice reguarding Bri's helmet

[Guest guest]

Hi April! I would see if they could possibly drill some air holes in

it. She should also adjust to having it on her so that she doesn't

sweat as much. She will probably always sweat. My son Bryce is a

VERY warmblooded baby. He's always hot and he does OK with his

STARband on. He still gets a little sweaty, but not too bad. Let

her run around naked with just a diaper on if it's not too cold.

She'll probably adjust to it pretty soon. Good luck!

Jess,

Thanks for the advice and yes they did put holes in it they even had

to put more holes in it. Now there is hardly any solid space on it.

It made it very difficult to decorate. LOL. She seems to be doing a

little bit better right now but then again it has only been 1/2 hour 1

more to go till next rest.

Thanks for your advice,

April (mommy to na)

The sweating will go away in about a week. My son sweated horribly

the first week and now he hardly ever sweats.
