Re: Gradually increasing wearing time - sleep question

[Guest guest]

My 7 1/2 month old just started wearing his starband on Christmas Eve, so we

finished the " break in " process several days ago. On day 4 when he started

wearing his band overnight, we left it on from bedtime (8pm) until about 5 am

when he woke up for a feeding and then left it off for a few hours until he got

up for the day. That seemed to work fine. He had had no apparent skin issues,

so it felt safe to leave it on a little longer. As for the lotion issue, it

seems that the skin under the helmet is more sensitive to any sort of product

application, because it doesn't breathe, so I'd proceed with caution with the

lotion. We wiped my son's little face with a mustela face wipe about 10 minutes

before putting the band on one night and when I took the band off the next

morning, he was a little irritated on the side of the face and forehead under

the helmet. Good luck with the next few days. I wish you all good sleep. it

took a few nights for my son to get used to it.

qustion about lotion and forgot to ask another one). Regarding the 4 day period

where you increase the amount of time they are in the band... on day 3 she is

suppposed to wear the band every 4 hours. This is also the first day when she is

supposed to wear it at night while sleeping. What is not clear to me is whether

she should wear the band the WHOLE night while sleeping, or are we supposed to

take it off and put it on during the night every 4 hours (as we would be doing

during the day)...
