Guest guest Posted August 15, 2005 Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 HI Everyone- I have been a part of the group for a couple of months and wanted to share my exciting news. (Yukko-Congrats on your daughter-you have great tastes in names!) came into the world on Saturday, August 6 @ 4:39 pm. She was 17 inches long. Not bad statistics considering my daughter was 5 weeks early. All is healthy and we have already started the casting process with Shriner's in Northern California. I love my doctor. If any parents live in the Northern California-- Shriner's in Sacramento is a great place for the Ponsetti method. My husband and I started her when she was 6 days old and we will continue to see them every week. Most likely she will have a tenotomy and then continue with the DBB. I do have a few questions for parents out there. has been in her casts for a couple of days and I was wondering about any advice on positioning with breastfeeding. The casts weigh a ton and I was wondering what positions are best. Most importantly, I was wondering if I should ask the doc about giving her tylenol for pain. I am sure it is not that comfortable with the casts on. Did any of you give your children tylenol for pain? Also, I read many emails about Dobbs brace & Markells. Shriner's uses the DBB brace. Can anyone give me the game plan for these types of tools? Thanks, KC PS. 's pic is posted--I still think her feet are cute! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
