We're new and Mason just got his DBB yesterday

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone. My son (Mason) is 8 weeks old and he got his DBB

yesterday. We didn't get much sleep last night as he would pretty much

only sleep if he was being held, but this morning I found a position

that he likes (finally!!!). He has a vibrating pumpkin seat that

reclines and he is happily playing in it as I'm typing this. Wide awake

and no tears! The way he cried yesterday I thought it may be weeks

before we figured this out, but he seems OK for now. I had to put 2

pairs of thick socks on his tender little feet before he would tolerate

the shoes. I think that in a few days, he'll be ok with 1 pair, but his

casts did a number on his feet and they look sore. Neosporin seems to

give him some relief as well. It is exhausting and just plain terrible

to see my baby suffer and know that it is for his own good. I hope he

adjusts to this quickly. I was soooo excited to have him out of the

casts, I didn't realize the shoes were worse. He's had casts since he

was 6 days old and I am looking forward to giving him his 1st real bath

(not a sponge bath).
