Re: Wearing STARBand - So Far So Good

That's great things are going so well. It really is shocking how

well baby's adjust to wearing these bands. I knew everyone else was

telling me their baby's didn't mind, but I thought for sure my

daughter would, but she didn't mind one bit. I'm glad your husband

is adjusting to it too. It does take longer for us parents to adjust

to seeing our precious babies in these bands, but you know you're

doing what's best.

I am sure things will continue to go this smooth, soon you'll see a

rounder head for . Keep us updated.
