Re: Questions - getting Doc band on Monday

[Guest guest]

You don't need to repo him while in the band. Usually the convertible

car seat is more comfortable than the infant carrier with the helmet,

but just wait and see how he does if you still have the infant carrier

kind. Good luck with his fitting on Monday and let us know how it goes.

continue to sleep him on his sides and rotate him like I am now? Also

will he need anything behind his head in the car seat? I saw the sleep

wrap that is from the UK suggested on the repo board and wondered if I

should get that? As it is I go in and pull him back up to his side 6

or 7 times at night as he tends to slide down to lay on his back! he

is 4.5 months old. Any other suggestions as I want him to have great

results and have to only wear it for the shortest time needed and only

want him to have to wear one band if possible! any suggestions are

great- let me know what you did?

Hi --

For the plagio, no, you will not need to do repo. BUT if he has tort,

you may need to continue, depending on the severity. If your LO has

tort, then your PT or OT should be able to tell you if you need to

continue.
