Re: Mya's 2nd Band Update

[Guest guest]

Hi Christi

I feel your pain! Dylan learned how to take the band off and first i tried

duct tape but he got that off, so then i got the O.T to extend the velcro,

again the little monkey worked how to get that off. So again i put duct tape

on the extended velcro strap this did work for a while, basically he did

know what he was doing but he only tried to take it off when he decided he

was bored, if i quickly stopped him and said no and i then distracted him

with a game or a toy and that worked quite well. The main problem was when i

was driving as then i could do nothing but luckily i was never driving too

far.

Hope it goes well. Are you listening Mya leave that band alone! lol!

Take care

LOL! I hope Mya heard you! Yes Mya decides she wants to mess with the

band when were driving and also if I dont get her immediately out of

her crib when she wakes up (I usually let her play while I get

dressed and brush my teeth) then she has the velcro off and band half

way off. Im hoping after shes been wearing it a while shell quit.

WEndy has mentioned a hair clip so I am going to try that and

hopefully that will help! What a little hoodini Dylan was getting

it off even with duct tape on it thats so funny!

The tip I heard of keeping the band closed is opening the velcro and

sliding a rubber band that has been folded twice to make it smaller

over the strap. Then put the strap back through the metal loop and

close normally; then you can slide the rubber band over the strap to

keep it closed. I hope that makes sense.

Christi,

Well that was a rocky start, but I'll bet things will smooth out real soon.

Debbie suggested the two things I've heard to keep baby from opening the

velcro. Duct tape and a diaper pin are the two things I've heard mentioned in

this group.

Hope she gets back into the swing of things real soon and I'm glad your AC is

fixed! Yuck!

Christi,

Sounds like you have had a rough couple of days!!! Good mommy instinct

kicking in and taking that band off- when I was miserably hot, I would take

the band off because I knew he would be worse!!!! Glad all is back

on track!
