Hi Leah,

Oh yes I know there are many many many brace variations, our doctor

prescribes brace time based on Dr. Ponseti's recommendations but also

by the individual childs' feet. We were reduced from 23/7 to night

time or 12-14 hr wear. Other kids he treats are reduced much more

gradually.

I commented that I personally thought it was a long time for Stacie's

little guy to be in his shoes 23/7 as he didn't have " difficult "

feet. He was at 23/7 for 6 months, until he was 9 months old! 3

months was tough for us. (Way to go Stacie!)

Congrats on your reduced hours, we all know how nice it is to be able

to snuggle them close without the brace!
