Re: Sleeping in helmet- first nights

[Guest guest]

Hi Kerry~

Congrats on your new " helmet head " ! I think Aiden will get used to

sleeping in it, no problem. My son Evan spins in his crib like a

rotisserie chicken (LOL) all the time anyway! Maybe if Aiden naps

in it today, he will sleep better with it on tonight! Good luck and

keep us posted!

Max has had his helmat for 4 days now and has only slept half a night

in it. He has always slept through the night without a peep and with

the helmet he wakes up every half hour or so crying. We take it off

after a while and prop him up sideways. every night he's gone a

little longer with it and we are hoping soon he makes it through the

whole night. The helmet doesn't seem to fit perfectly and it kind of

squishes one ear. Hopefully when we get our first adjustment it will

fit better. Good luck.

Hi Kerry, Aiden & Everyone,

Welcome to helmethead-ville :-) I'm so happy to hear that things are

going pretty well for you so far! Sorry I didn't respond quicker,

things have been busy.

's getting casted for his second helmet tomorrow after seeking

the advice of our ped. She agreed to take advantage of his age (11

months) and we can only see more improvement. So we're

officially " ungraduating " . At least we've gotten a couple of

weeks of bare head. Wish us luck on the casting, ugh!

Keep us posted on Aiden's progress.
