I must say that the crying you mentioned concerns me very much, too. I have had

little to no issues with the casts, and am wondering if it could be something

else.

then something like this comes along and you can't do anything but stand by

and feel helpless. Sounds like you are a fantastic mommy who is doing what it

takes, though! Tell us more about you/baby!

the worst with the cast for baby. I cried that whole week with her.

She hated them on her and I had to rock her to sleep all the time. I

barely ate or slept I Just wanted her to know mommy is here for you

but with each new cast she has gotten ALOT better. This is her fith

week now and she is starting to smile alot more which makes me so very

happy cause now I know she is okay with them but man how I wish I

could still go through it for her.

Oh I cried a ton during the first couple of weeks of Gracies casting

too! But I am a bit of a crier =), think a lot of it was my hormones

but it was a difficult time. Amazing though how it really does get

better and this group sure helped!!!

i must agree with the other replies. i have a 13wk old boy and he had

soft cast on for the first 6 weeks, changed every week and one week he

wouldn't stettle until i removed his casts for his bath then re

appication. so obviously his casts were uncomfy for whatever reason. i

did have an old school plasterer that time, and was a bit " i know it

all " but hey. i only had her the once and the only time we had trouble.

i still feel guilty sometimes especially when he comes out of the bath

(which he loves and goes mental at)and i have to put his boots and bar

back on.

i just think ahead, it's only for a short time and these treatments

are to help him have a normal as possible life in the future.
