Guest guest Posted October 17, 2003 Report Share Posted October 17, 2003 If you don't leave until then, then I would start them alongside the diet now and just gradually ease out aspects of the diet - for us the things which would show up problems first and would also make our lives easier by the nature of what they were, were the first things to be trialled, i.e. milk, bread, breakfast things and then we just carried on from there.Just don't rush things. But see what the others say - I'm not as knowledgeable as most on here ) Best of luck Julea : o) On the human chessboard, all moves are possible. www.emagforall.netfirms.com --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free by AVG so it wasn't me !

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2003 Report Share Posted October 20, 2003 Hi there, I can completely understand how you feel. My daughter got her helmet when she was 8 months and I was heartbroken. Believe me, you'll get used to it though and your baby will probably get used to it even quicker. In fact, you'll get so used to seeing her in it, it will look odd to you when it is off. I don't recommend taking it off for longer than an hour though (each day), even if she shows early progress. It will correct a lot faster if you follow the plan. And hey, if she is showing early progress she may get out of it that sooner!! :-) What type of helmet is she getting? > We just learned that our 8 month old daughter will need a helmet - > we're having her fitted this afternoon.

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2003 Report Share Posted October 20, 2003 Hi! Where are you from? Not all of our babies had sleepless nights - my daughter adjusted fine and slept well. We did have to go back for 2 adjustments that first week, but after that it was smooth sailing. You do have to stick to the 23 hours/day, because the bands work by redirecting the baby's growth, and they are growing all the time. It really does get easier, and before you know it, it will be graduation day, and you'll be missing your daughter's helmet - it becomes a part of them. I didn't have any issues breastfeeding - you just need to adjust your positioning a bit to see what works... We didn't have hair loss from the band, but her hair didn't grow in the holding spot on the forehead until after the band came off( was wore the band for 2 months, beginning at 5 months old)Welcome to the group.

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2003 Report Share Posted October 20, 2003 I completely understand what you are going through. It is a little difficult to see them banded for the first couple of days, but then you get used to it (and so do they!). Just remember that you're only doing what is best for your baby. My motto in the past weeks has been, " What's a couple of months in a band when it will correct her head shape for life! " We spend a lot of cuddle time while she has her band off for that 1 hr. per day. And decorating the band has helped me, too. CT says the band should be on 23 hrs a day to achieve maximum correction. You just never, ever know when a sudden growth spurt will hit. And once you're both used to it, 23 hrs isn't all that bad. Jordyn has only had her band for a week, but I find the easiest position to nurse her in is the " football clutch. " Basically, I sit in an oversized chair with a high arms, put a pillow beside me and lay Jordyn on the pillow to nurse. It has worked great with no problems whatsoever. Some moms also recommend putting a towel or small pillow over your arm if you are going to nurse in the cradle hold. I just can't seem to get either of us very comfortable in that position, but I know it has worked for others. The lack of sleep only lasts for a couple of nights until they are used to the band. It really isn't that bad, and you can always play catch up that next weekend after getting the band while hubby or family babysits! Hope this helps. You are doing a wonderful thing for your baby. She will thank you once she's old enough to realize what you went through for her. & Jordyn (DOCband 10/13) Dallas > We just learned that our 8 month old daughter will need a helmet - > we're having her fitted this afternoon.

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2003 Report Share Posted October 20, 2003 Hi, Welcome to the group! Not all babies lose sleep once being banded. My baby slept fine, it was never a problem. It is a must that your baby be in her band for 23 hours a day. This is taken from Cranial Tech web site: Compliance: With such a small window of opportunity to correct an infant's head, it is critical that families are fully compliant with the treatment protocol. The best outcome will be achieved when all protocols are followed A child's head grows consistently. In order to capture and direct all growth, it is essential that the band is worn 23 hours a day, every day. Skin problems, if any, are typically resolved in the first week. If you have any other problems, consult your clinician immediately. Timely growth adjustments are a must. If growth adjustments are delayed, it can negatively impact the head shape. For those infants where neck exercises are necessary, stretching instructions must be followed. In children with neck tightness, the DOC Band alone cannot achieve the best outcome. Children can be left with a less than optimal outcome because parents do not fully comply with the stretching program. Please let us know how your baby is adjusting. > We just learned that our 8 month old daughter will need a helmet - > we're having her fitted this afternoon.

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2003 Report Share Posted October 20, 2003 Hi and welcome to the group. I understand where you are coming from, I think that all of us do, but in the long run, it is well worth it, and you will be able to kiss that nice round noggin all of the time. It is actually funny, but once she has her helmet on, when you have it off, you will think it looks so weird! You are doing the right thing for her, you are doing a great job. Please do keep us posted as to how it went today.

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2003 Report Share Posted October 20, 2003 I ditto what everyone else said. You also may be surprised, Logan only had 2 nights where he had a problem with the band & has slept fine ever since. Just know that you are doing the right thing, and it is true, you do get used to it very quickly. Good luck! n SAHM to Riley & Logan > We just learned that our 8 month old daughter will need a helmet - > we're having her fitted this afternoon.

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2003 Report Share Posted October 20, 2003 hello there! It isn't all that bad, it takes a little bit of adjustment but then the helmet becomes part of them and they look just as cute! If you decorate it, it will probably make you feel better. I had so much fun in sticker shops deciding my "themes". I have no advice on breastfeeding. My son did not lose any hair but he had one "pressure point" spot where the hair became thinner. He also never had any sleep issues. For best results try and keep it on the full 23 hours a day. You want the maximum correction in the shortest time, right? Hope the fitting went well, please keep us posted on you daughter's progress.

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2003 Report Share Posted October 21, 2003 I'd not start enzymes without doing a lot of reading first. Not what you want to hear I'm sure. But that is my advice. I looked at DeFelice's book and thought, oh, that'll take me few days, but when I actually sat down to read it, it read like a great novel. Finished it in a day. Of course I then had to re-read parts after I verified a few things I'd read. No insult to the author, but after the number the Doctors did on my son, I'm a bit.... can't find the right word, about what I have him take. There aren't any shortcuts to enzymes and adjustment, there is advice on how to minimize or eliminate certain issues, but the adjustment is just that. New to Group This morning I ordered my first couple of bottles of the Houston enzymes and then started brousing posts here to see if I could figure out what I have gotten myself into, lol! My son has been gfcf for 3 years now. Before the gfcf diet, he was almost nonverbal, suffered from typical meltdowns and difficult behavior, etc., etc., etc. Now, almost 3 years after implementing the diet, you can barely tell he is autistic. In fact, his neurologist said he wouldn't diagnose him today with autism though he did 3 years ago. The diet has given us back our little boy (he is almost 7 now) and we are grateful. But, the diet does take a great deal of work (worth it for the effects, but work all the same). We are getting ready to drive across country for a trip " home " for Christmas and I thought it was time to experiment with the enzymes. I know very little other than people tend to like Houston's formulation better than Kirkman's. Now I throw myself on your collective mercy and seek information, preferably in summarized form. I am also homeschooling my son since he just could not handle the stimulation of a typical classroom, but does really well with one on one. But that too is a challenge. So I guess what I am saying is I'm busy, I want to do what is best for my son, but if there is an easier way, I want to know about it.

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2003 Report Share Posted October 24, 2003 Does your son know all his letters? In the Montessori approach, we would have him making phonetic words with an alphabet (you could use magnetic refrigerator letters). You know, cat, rat, dog, hog, sit, rug, log, jot, jog, and once he does well with three letter words, go on to phonetic four letter words like jump, frog, etc. Sound out the words one letter at a time c-a-t, so that he can hear the sounds in the word. Ask if he can find the first sound. Repeat as necessary for the second and third sounds. You know he's ready to move on to reading simple books when he starts to read his words back to you without any help. If you want help with reading games, let me know. I've got a few.

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2003 Report Share Posted October 25, 2003 Since you new at this and having difficulties; find a local homeschooling group. The parents their can be a wealth of information some are also very structured with extra activities and field trips. there are also groups on the internet for homeschooling you can join. Lastly, since many homwschoolers seen to have a strong religious affiliation ( and support) I would ask around using that avenue. Good luck ( ) new to group Greetings, We have a 5 yr old son w/ Aspergers and I am pulling my hair out! Since we homeschool I have no access to whatever the public school system may offer.

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2003 Report Share Posted October 26, 2003 Public schools offer very little. A behavioral therapist would be beneficial for this sorta thing. Also a speech teacher who specialises in pragmatics might help. You can try learning Sensory ttechniques yourself such as deep pressure or brushing. Diet or medication may also be helpful. a > Greetings, > > We have a 5 yr old son w/ Aspergers and I am pulling my hair out! > Since we homeschool I have no access to whatever the public school > system may offer.

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2003 Report Share Posted November 1, 2003 Hi, My 14.5 yr old son has had similar difficulties. He doesn't have a problem staying on task (I don't think...) unless maybe at home (more distractions I guess) but with organization, THAT has always been a problem. In middle school - well, long story but he began having problems with OCD, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. So between the OCD, the AS traits and his just plain not being organized, I began going thru his work each night (folders for each subject) and getting it organized, seeing what had/had not been turned in, etc. Plus his teachers learned that he probably did the work but didn't turn it in; so they would have him look thru his things at school for assignments not turned in. Thus, the TEACHERS had to ask at times, knew not to leave it up to him. We also get interim reports from each class which will list missing assignments, so that helped me too. We created a 504 Plan for him when his OCD flared up in 6th grade with accommodations for him, including his organization problems. He's allowed to turn in work late with no grade penalty ( & how late depends on each teacher). You might want to see about that if his grades are suffering. Oh and was like your son re the video games! But he seems to have less interest (finally!) as he's gotten older. It's not a daily thing anymore. Now, TV still is; also recently he's been playing more games he finds on the computer. So games are still involved, just not the PlayStation/Nintendo, etc., ones. 's never been an outdoor person or one with a hobby, etc., so video games were about it, besides TV. But they were one of the first things he was GOOD at (not counting schoolwork) and so in a way, video games have been good for him in that respect. SIGH, gotta go, chores to do! Keep us updated on things. > Hi All, > > My son was just recently diagnosed as having Asperger's. You know he > has always had challenges at school but they never knew exactly WHAT > was up with him.

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2003 Report Share Posted November 4, 2003 Thanks for all the replies. Unfortunately, 's appt. did not go as well as I had hoped. No change thusfar. Oh well, I guess it has only been 2 weeks, but I did expect to see a little change. A bit disheartening. The plus side is that it is not getting any worse. turns 6 months on the 11th of Nov and we were told that he will most likely wear the helmet for 5 months. The past 2 weeks have seemed like an eternity to me and I am not sure I can handle another 4.5 months of this. Anyhow, I will try to post his pic this evening after my other 2 munchkins drift off to dreamland. > > Hi ! > > Welcome to the group.

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2003 Report Share Posted November 4, 2003 Hi , I understand how you feel about the time duration. For my son's initial band they told me 3-4 months and I told all my family, he will only be wearing it 3 months. Well, it ended up being over 7 months but I am really happy that we stuck it out.
