Re: Overheating head in band

[Guest guest]

I have the same problem with my four month old son, iel. We

are 1 1/2 weeks into treatment and it's sweat-city! I was also told

it will lessen in two weeks. Our DOC clinic has some special powder

you can use after two weeks, but the clinic tech stated he would

rather it not be used. If you are concerned about overheating -

perhaps giving him a little more water, juice, or formula/breast milk

might help. We also have been keeping Nate inside more and using a

fan near his crib at night. It seems to be working. I feel sorry

for my little guy too. August and September are our hottest months!
