Please advise, 5 month old lifting FAB at night.

[Guest guest]

Hello All,

I'm a new father of 5 month old boy with minor clubfoot on his right

side. We're lucky enough to find Dr. Romano in Plantation, FL who

practices Ponsetti method. Our son,Ty, finished 4th cast and now on

his 3rd month of FAB (Markell w/ Gold bar). We didn't have much

problem getting him to use it except for the common problem that he

pulls his right foot off the shoe once-twice a day and the other minor

thing that he could lift it up like a dumbell and sometime hits us on

the way down quite badly that we need to wrap the bar with sponge to

protect ourselves.

I have a little concern because he always lift them up and hold it

while he is sleeping and because of weight of the FAB it keeps his

feet up so close or even touch his face. I'm afraid that he may hit

his face with it one day.

Any experience parents have this problem before? Please advise.

Thank in advance.....Som (AT) Miami (DOT)
