Hayden- sticky band already

[Guest guest]

Go Marilyn Go! That's great that you have become a plagio educator by

explaining this condition- word of mouth is the best form of advertisement so

to speak! We did the sun drying trick and it really did work well. As Gail

suggessted, maybe your Grandma could do one hour off- if not just to get the

band funk out for a bit! Good luck!

Ok, I use to laugh when I read your posts about stinky band, and

stinky heads- now Hayden is a member of the stinky band club!!!

He has had his band 6 days, and he sweats so much he smells like a

boys locker room, or an old shoe. I have been bathing him everyday,

and cleaning the band with alcohol. Is there another trick to geting

rid of the stink? I did get online and order the mustela products

that someone posted about- hopefully they will come in soon. I'm not

sun drying it- because I usually clean it late night or early morning-

then send him to grandmas while I work. He is adjusting well- infact

he is sleeping through the night again!! Yeah!!! He still hates it in

the carseat. I am adjusting well- infact I feel like an educator in

plagiocephaly- as many times as I have told the purpose of the band

and why he is this way!!!

Marilyn,

I can see that your schedule is not conducive to putting the helmet in the sun, but could Grandma do it? This worked the best for us. Of course, here in Texas the sun is strong from 7am to 7pm, so timing was not an issue for us. Maybe if Hayden has some good awake time in the middle of the day and he is not laying down, perhaps he could afford an extra 30 minute break from the helmet so it can air out in the sun. I also left the shampoo and the babies' heads for the entire length of their baths and then they smelled like baby magic for a least a few hours.
