Re: Hard Time Adjusting After 2 Weeks

January 8, 2002

:

Sorry that isn't as happy as usual while he is wearing his

band. It is quite uncommon for baby's not to go about their normal,

happy lives while wearing the band. I have read of a few parents

whose baby did not adjust to the band well. I would suggest giving

him a little more time to adjust. I'm glad he's not crying all the

time while wearing the band (I'm sure you're glad!).

It is great though to hear that his head has already improved some!

Slowly but surely, he'll have a rounder head and be happier.

Hang in there. Keep us updated on his mood & his rounding.
