Guest guest Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 My 9-month old twins have been in their bands 5 weeks. There seems to be a lot of open " space " behind their ears on the velcro side (over an inch). They also have lumps above their ears on that side which they are saying is fluid ridging. The " sideburn " portion actually seems a little bit over their ears on that side. Is this normal? Is their anything I should be watching for? They didn't mention possible complications other than skin breakdown. Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 Today is my ds's 6th week in the doc band, and he has the space behind the ear on the opening, and the fluid ridging just like you little ones, from this list it seems that the fluid retention is very common, and should go away after the helmet is off. But, I wouldl have them check out the sideburn on the ear. I dont think that should be happening.

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 When my boys were in their bands I noticed one always shifting over. The ear on one side was almost covered and the other side had lots of room behind...They also told me this was ok and that the band didn't have to be tight to work...As for the ridges they did mention the possibility of fluid retention there, but we never experienced that...
