Re: My angel is getting her Starband but I can't stop crying!

[Guest guest]

You are definitely not crazy. My son, Dylan, who is only 4 months

old, just got his Starband yesterday and I am feeling very similar. I

can't seem to shake the guilt of it all and seeing him in it has been

hard. Holding him and trying to cradle his head has been difficult

when he is crying and he won't stop unless you take it off and rub

his head. I am a first time mom and if anyone has advice on how to

adjust that would be great! It definitely helps to talk to others who

have gone through or are going through this. Thanks!!
