Re: 1st Phys. Therp. Appt - Exersaucer - To Jane

[Guest guest]

Hi

We have been stretching as much as we can.. in fact since birth I

have always challenged him, especially with tummy time and turning to

his " unfavored " side. But I have never been able to do the

traditional streches that are recommended for the changing table. My

guy is way too strong and stubborn. Whenever I try to turn him, he

resists. If we do end up seeing a PT, I'd feel sorry for them. But

seriously, I do need the peace of mind at this point, you are right.

Perhaps they can give us better suggestions for alternative

stretching. (Luke's favorite TV show is Zoom. He'll crane his neck

for a good 20 mins to check it out! LOL)

Jane and Luke, almost 5 months!

Repo'ing while awaiting first appt.
