Guest guest Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 Keep him really cool. Just a diaper or onsie. No socks. Use a fan.... He will adjust to wearing the band, but it will take his body longer if the band isn't on. Of course if it is giving him a rash you need to leave it off, but sweating it okay. Also take the band off every hour or so to wipe the sweat off his head and the band with a dry towel. This can help keep the skin from getting irritated too. Usually within a week they do much better regulating their body temperature in the band. As for leaving it off at night - he may not be resting on his flat spot, but still you want the band to hold growth in the prominent areas, and you're missing this if he's not in the band. You have to get to the point where you can keep it on longer, but it is important to wear it at night too once his skin is doing okay. There are others who don't do 23 hours - but they don't necessarily get the best results. Keep trying and do what you can. -christine sydney, 3.5 yrs, starband grad > > 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 .
