Guest guest Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 I would make him wear it all night even though he slept on his tummy because I would not know if he was having a growth spurt and I wanted to be sure that if he had one his helmet would help direct the growth where it was needed. My son has been wearing his helmet for a month now and I pretty much have him wear it 22 hrs. a day. I take it off him in the afternoon for an hour for his bath since it is very hot here in san diego, and then I take it off in the evening for about 15 min. just to let him rest and get cool.Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerryFrom: "rkks1" Date: Tue, 21 Jul 2009 15:27:16 -0000<Plagiocephaly >Subject: HELMET BREAK OUT MY 5 MONTH OLD JUST GOT HIS HELMET A WEEK AGO- AND WELL I SHOULD BE KEEPING IT ON HIM FOR THE 23 HOURS AT A TIME BUT HE SEEMS TO BREAK OUT IN A RASH LIKE HEAT RASH TYPE AFTER ABOUT 5 HOURS , I CHECK IT AND SO I TAKE IT OFF AND LET HIS HEAD BREATH FOR ABOUT AN HOUR HE IS A SUPER HOT BABY AND THE HELMET MAKES HIM SWEAT SO I STILL CHECK IT .

Guest guest Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 22 hours is probably okay, but I agree with you that I would leave it on at night. That's a lot of hours that he could be growing. Sometimes, we went a little below the 23 hours because we hadn't kept track of the time well enough and 's hair still needed to dry, but we definately never went below 22.5 hours. The only exception is on a couple days that we went swimming and were outside in the heat at the zoo and then it was probably 22 or 21.5 hours. Do all the things that recommende to keep the baby cool. Obviously, a heat rash changes things, but you can probably prevent some of this by what she suggested.
