Dr Dobbs question

[Guest guest]

Hi,

My DS sees Dr. Dobbs and I was curious when my sons hours will be

reduced. He has been at 14 hours a day for approx. 1 year now.

Does Dr. Dobbs ever go to 12 hours a day? It's getting harder and

harder to leave the shoes on for 14 hours since my son doesn't nap

and doesn't want his " night-night shoes " on when he's awake and

wanting to walk.

Thanks!

,

I would suggest just discussing the issues you are having with

's hours with Dr. Dobbs. I know he has been being cautious with

dropping hours but my guess would be that if is having no

issues with his feet at his age I think Dr. Dobbs would let you

reduce him to 12 hours. Just ask him.
