Questions about moving to nighttime wear w/ s

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone-

Our family is very excited to have our daughter, , move to

nighttime wear in her s brace only as of last week. She is 7

months and is ready to start moving, so timing couldn't have been

better. However, I have a few questions for parents out there. We

have followed the Ponseti method from the beginning, she had the

tenetomy, and she has had a great experience with the FAB. Her

doctor, Dr. Lerman @ Shriners in Sacramento, said to put on the brace

whenever is sleeping. I understand the hours are at 12-13.

Is it okay to just put them at night or should I try to put them on

during naptime too? The only reason I am asking is because she is

with her daycare provider druing the day. Should I tell her to make

sure to put the brace on during naps? My husband and I put

on her brace around 7 at night and take it off at 7 the following

morning. Is that sufficient enough? I'd love to hear your feedback

and experiences. Also, I notice 's ankles are small, will

they grow as she gets bigger or will they stay small throughout her

life? I asked her doctor and he said every baby is different and

time will tell as she grows to see the physiological growth--but said

her function will be just fine!

Hope everyone is doing great--Happy Spring
