Guest guest Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Meg, We live in a super-dry (but not quite so cold!) place too. We'd been having terrible problems with dry skin and hair until we finally got some humidifiers for our bedrooms. Do you have them? If not, you can get one for under $50 and it may really help! (But read the directions: we had ours on full-blast, which is apparently not what you are supposed to do. Once we turned it down it worked better.) That is such awesome correction you got! I think I may have commented on this in a previous post. After 6 weeks in a Star band we are down from 11mm to 2mm, which is great too, of course, but we are still working on brachy. > > > We had excellent results and se only wore it for 6 weeks and went from 11mm > plagio to 0mm. > Also, regarding the eczema, Lucy has some on the sideburn areas during treatment and > we would apply lotion or sometimes a thin coat of hydrocortizone if it looked really > irritated, but her scalp looked great the entire treatment.

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 - thanks for the tip! We did get a humidifier for her room a few weeks ago and it may be helping a little - but not great and it runs 24/7 on the low setting. The aquaphor has worked the best out of the 5 or so baby dry skin products I have tried! I am just waiting for some warmer weather so her poor skin can have a break. Yea, we were SUPER happy with her correction! I am so glad we went ahead and did the band, even though initially I was not looking forward to it, I now have no regrets and would do it all over again. Good luck getting the brachy improved quickly! - Meg, mom to Lucy, 8m, STARband grad 1/12/09 Milwaukee, WI > > > > > > We had excellent results and se only wore it for 6 weeks and > went from 11mm > > plagio to 0mm. > > Also, regarding the eczema, Lucy has some on the sideburn areas > during treatment and > > we would apply lotion or sometimes a thin coat of hydrocortizone if > it looked really > > irritated, but her scalp looked great the entire treatment. > HOWEVER, since we have been > > done with the band, we have been battling terrible dry scalp!!!
