Guest guest Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 He'll probably be sweaty for the first week or so, but then adust. The band does get stinky, but it is less after a few weeks, and you'll get used to it :-) some people use fruity smelling shampoo to cover the smell, but my daughter's head was pretty sensitive so we stayed away from those. 3-4 mo is pretty normal. It will really depend on your son's severity, and how fast he grows. You may get a few funny looks, but most people are very nice, and just curious. Good luck & let us know how he does. -christine sydney 2 yrs starband grad > > Hello, > > My son is being sized tomorrow for his helmet by Stellar > Prosthetics in Pasadena CA.

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 It also depends on his assymetry going in to the band. 3-4 months sounds reasonable but if his plagio is really severe then I would think it may take longer. It really depends though on your baby. As for sleeping, sweating, etc. It is not that bad. Dress your baby lighter than usual, maybe try memory foam (we didn't...our son was back to sleeping 12 hours after 2 nights in the band), maybe use a scented shampoo, use the 91% alcohol for cleaning the band, cool off the car prior to getting in, from baby dagny you can order a cool seat thing for the car. Those are all the tips I can think of at this point. Good luck. lisa > > From: mjovadia <mjovadia (DOT) com> > Subject: Steller Prosthetics > Plagiocephaly > Date: Wednesday, April 16, 2008, 9:49 PM > > > Hello, > > My son is being sized tomorrow for his helmet by Stellar > Prosthetics in Pasadena CA.
