Ok. I need some questions answered.

[Guest guest]

Ok My son just got his starband yesterday was the first day we wore

it for 23 hours.

I had to go in for adjustments today beacause when I went to give him

a hour break for his helmet at 8:30 I noticed a red spot on the side

of his face by his temple it stayed red till 10:30 so I called. He

made the adjustments also it made his eye slant down. So for my

questions

It is still red. have not put the helemt back on it is on 6:50

Has this happen to you?

Also the smell how do I keep it under control? besides the rubbing ac.

The memmory foam, what is this good for?

My son as tort. He likes to sleep on his right side and that is where

is flat spot is. I try to move him to the other side but does not

really dig it. I used to use the sleep postioners but now that he

rolls it is no good. What should I do? Is is ok because the helmet?

Any other sugestions for me? my son is 5 months old

P.S. Sorry about the typing I am always in a hurry

I would leave the helmet off until the spot is no more

than a very soft pink. Also, it should not push his

eye nor his ear down in any way. this sounds loose to

me and you may need another adjustment.

We just poured alchol in the band rather than sponging

it in. I would let it soak and I would roll it around

on the inside and then I used a rag to sop up the

excess. I also let it air dry and we never had a real

problem with smell.

Your wonderful baby can lay however he wants with the

band on. Thats the point that the band does it's own

thing while your son does his!

One note on my tips- we had a DOCband, so if you are

using something else, I don't know that my advice is

accurate.
