Guest guest Posted May 11, 2002 Report Share Posted May 11, 2002 Can anyone comment on whether child is experiencing sleeping problems with the STARBAND on? It appears to cause more irritability at night during sleeping than during the day. Thank you for any input on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 11, 2002 Report Share Posted May 11, 2002 Hi & welcome to our group! How long has your child been wearing their STARband? If it is fairly new yet, your child might just need time to adjust to sleeping in it. It is quite rare for a child not to tolerate the band well, but I have heard of it happening. I am hoping the band is still new & your child will soon adjust. If not, perhaps it is a bit too tight or not fitting comfortably, you might want to check with the orthotist to make sure. Would you mind telling us a bit more about your child & plagio? Thanks!

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2002 Report Share Posted May 13, 2002 Both of my twins wore the STARband, and other than the first night or so, they didn't have any trouble sleeping in their bands. If your child is new to wearing the band, then it just may be a matter of an adjustment being needed. Maybe you can dress your child in lighter clothing for bedtime, or have a fan on in their room. That might help reduce some of the irritability. Niki Kaylie & Danny (STAR grads) Phila., PA > Can anyone comment on whether child is experiencing sleeping problems > with the STARBAND on?
