Guest guest Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 Hello Everyone, I have a three month old son named with moderate left clubfoot who is currently wearing the DBB. He had 5 weeks of casts (starting on day 4 of life) and then on week 6 starting wearing the DBB. He has been wearing the DBB approxiamtely 6 1/2 weeks now for 23 hours a day. We went for his checkup today and the doctor said that his foot looks good so far and to come back in 2 1/2 months. He said that we should try to keep wearing the DBB for the 23 hours as long as possible but can start to cutdown on the hours once it beings to interfere with his development. How do I know when this is? How many hours should he wear the bar once it is not 23 hours anymore? I asked the questions but did not really get a good answer on what we should be doing. Or maybe I just did not understand. My doctor said a lot of times the babies just do not want to wear the bars anymore or have issues with them. So far is doing pretty well so I want to keep him wearing them as much as possible since I am afraid of relapse but I do not want to interfere with his normal development. Thank you, Stacey Mom to LCF 7/8/05 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
