It does get better. First and foremost is making sure the shoes are

not hurting him -- how long has he been wearing them? Does he have

any pressure sores or blisters that are causing him pain? Also if his

feet are not fully corrected the shoes could be hurting him. Who is

Kurt's doctor and is he Ponseti certified?

I am sorry you are going through such a hard time. Yes, it gets better. It

just takes some time and getting used to. How long has he been in the bar?

It helped our son a lot to move the bar back and forth with his feet in it

so he could learn to move his feet together. This comforted him. Hope that

helps. Pretty soon he won't think a thing of it! Lori

My son Kurt is almost 10 weeks old now, he is now wearing the DDB. I

have lots of trouble getting him to sleep and he gets very

frustrated. His only cumfort is being held. Will he ever get use to

these shoes and does it get any better. Please help.
