Guest guest Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 I was told that the smell is just part of it; I have yet to find any other shampoos or anything that eliminates it. Thank goodness my sons doesn’t reek too bad, but it has an interesting aroma to it. I just try and find a little humor in it and have sort of learned to accept it.

My daughter has had her DOC band for about 3 weeks now. She is a warm blood child and sweats a lot, especially at night. We bathe her every night and clean the band with the alcohol as the techs suggests. I know we aren't suppose to use any lotions or powders but was curious if anyone had suggestions on how to reduce the smell in the band. Is their a shampoo that works better, scented or unscented? I'm really looking for any suggestions. Thanks!

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 I was told putting the band in the sunshine for the hour a day you have it off will help with the smell. My daughter has only had hers for a week and fortunately we aren't dealing with a smell yet.

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 Try the childrens shampoos made by L'Oreal or Suave. There are many good scents to choose from and it really helps with the smell.

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 We were told by the CT techs to use 90% alcohol. The 70% thats normally picked up by people has more water and less alcohol in it. CVS carries it with the other alcohols- has a read label. Have a warm blooded child also and we haven't had to switch to any special shampoos or anything- the 90% made all the difference- we clean her helmet anytime she gets really sweaty, and in the morning when we take it off to put on her shirt, and then again at night when she's in the bathtub. Hope that helps! (Ogreletmama)Grauvogl Mother to 15 mos, banded since 08/23/09. > > > My daughter has had her DOC band for about 3 weeks now.
