Re: Sleeping with the DBB....

January 30, 2006

Could he be teething? Just a thought especially if the shoes are not

bothering him during the day or during his naps? He's right about

that age when the first teeth start to cut! Check his gums and see

if you feel any " buds " . For our son, his teething pain was worse at

night and would disrupt his sleep.

Just a thought,

We had this problem when was Austin's age because he wasn't as mobile,

and he especially had a hard time when he was sleeping. Does he like to sleep

on his side? liked this, so we would prop his legs with a blanket, so

they weren't just hanging in the air. Does he roll with is brace on yet? When

he is able to do this sleeping should get easier for him.

i don't know if its the same for the brace as the casts but it says in

the ponseti management book to lay the casts on a pillow when on the

back. i've found that ollie prefers this when on his back with his

dbb. just a thought.

the theory behind it with the casts is the pressure point would be on

one/two spots of the leg, causing irretation/pain. so could this

theory be applied to the brace as well? and this could be why he wants

his feet up??

Reid,

Have you checked bar length? Is he getting tangled in the

covers? Bar length usually causes night waking, so check that for sure.

: He likes to sleep on his side as well. He can roll a little bit with

the brace on. Yea, we probably need to prop his legs so they just are hanging

there... I don't know how he does it!! My legs would get tired!!
