Re: Hard time adjusting; comments from strangers

[Guest guest]

:

You sound a little more upbeat about the process today. It does take

a lot of adjusting. Slowly but surely everyone forgets the helmet is

even on after a while, then you see a rounding head & you couldn't be

happier!

Hang in there! Keep us updated on 's progress. I hope his

little cold goes away, poor guy!

adjusting to the helmet after 2 weeks, also to my " Comments from

strangers " post last month. Your support has been invaluable.

Here's an update:

>

> " Strangers " haven't said anything too offensive yet. I like it

best when people say nothing about the helmet at all - just see the

baby. I do take the helmet off when going to some places. I leave

it on in the car, then take it off when we arrive at our

destination. It's only off an hour or so, and I feel better having a

break from the attention.

> One hint for everyone: I use prepackaged alcohol pads when on the

go, to clean the helmet.

> As to why adjusting has been a problem, has had a cold since

getting his helmet, so maybe that has made his adjustment period

longer. He is feeling better and actually laughed while wearing the

helmet today!
