Guest guest Posted March 16, 2000 Report Share Posted March 16, 2000 Hooray Lynn! I can't wait until you get to the point where you say to yourself, "Gosh, what was I so worried about, anyway?" Grace still sweats a bit, but not so bad. I make sure I don't dress her too warm. She's actually been wearing a lot of her spring outfits already. (That is an eye-opener, I had been buying 2T's thinking that would get her through the summer. HA! She can wear those just fine right now!)

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2000 Report Share Posted March 16, 2000 Kendra - Grace will be 8 months on the 18th. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT???????????? Her brother wore 5T's at 18 months, but I think Grace is going to surpass him! Maybe I should cut the Miracle Grow out of the formula?

Belinda(Indiana) Ugh...the sweating part is just terrible...we live in Florida, so I just know this summer is going to be awful for her...hopefully she will have adjusted to it as they tell me most do.

Guest guest Posted March 17, 2000 Report Share Posted March 17, 2000 Ya ! I'm glad that your little angel is adapting to it so well. I used to use powder under my little guy's helmet. I also kept his hair short.He was little and I figured it would grow back anyway. I remember somebody else here saying that keeping socks off usually helped cool things off too. I geuss the body has two main ways for heat to escape...the feet and head.

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2000 Report Share Posted March 18, 2000 Well...she was adjusting well, until yesterday when I removed it to chk the pressure points and noticed that a red spot on her forhead was not going away...it kind of reminded me of a rug burn. When I called the Childrens Hospital they told me to just check it more often, and to wash her sking with soap and water each time. They are also mailing me some cushioning type of thing that they say if needed to put inside the band. Has anyone had this type of problems??

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2000 Report Share Posted March 18, 2000 Hello Lynn, Hmmm, maybe your toddler is coming down with some allergic reaction and NEEDS SOME BENADRYL!!! :) I'm just joking. Anyway, Grace had some difficulty with a pressure spot during the first week. Until it was addressed and adjusted by the people in Illinois, she really couldn't wear it for long. I hope the cushioning material works to get you by until 's next visit. She'll get into the groove here soon. Sometimes it takes some touching up to get a good fit. Don't fret!

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2000 Report Share Posted March 19, 2000 Lynn, give your little girl a bottle of ketchup and a "plan" and leave the room. Oh, and by the way, the "plan" involves her Daddy needing some decorating.... Give the band a quick swipe with alcohol every time you take it off to check for redness. It will take just a moment to dry and it should help with the smell.
