Guest guest Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 Hi , Once Zachary is banded you don't have to worry about his head. You can put him in the stroller whenever you want. It won't make his head flatter as long as he's in his band. If you can try and increase the tummy time, it's not just good for their heads. You're not crazy for worrying, you're a mom it's what you're supposed to do. :-) Let us know how Zachary is adjusting to his new band. > > Hi, my son Zachary will be 7 months later this week and is getting > his starband tomorrow (brachy, flat in the back and recovering from > tort).

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 I wouldn't get a new stroller. Once banded it won't matter and neither will lying on his head. The band will protect his head from the hard surface it is on no matter what that is stroller, crib what ever. Tummy time will probably built his muscels up though. I always laid my babies in the living room on their tummies so I could monitor them while they were tummy sleeping instead of putting them in their cribs. They were premie and slept alot.
