wearing shedule

[Guest guest]

hi all,

I need some help for wearing shedule.

here is dr Ippolito's wearing schedule:

2 months 23/7

thereafter, the brace is to be worn at night and nap times only.

dr ippolito will see lorenzo two months after he will start to walk.

we decided to increase the first two months to three.

do you agree?

how many hours correspond to the night and nap times ?

do you have any suggestions?

grazie e buonanotte anzi buongiorno )

If it was me, I would do the 23/7 for 3 months. As for nights and naps.

That could be anywhere from 14 to 18 hours, depending on the amount of

time " naps " take. Nighttime is probably 12-14 hours. Nap time could be

1 to 4 hours, depending on number of naps and their lengths. Many

people prefer to do the bracing all in one stretch. For example, put it

on at 8:00 p.m, take it off at 12:00 p.m.; equaling 16 hours. That

means fewer time putting shoes on in a day. You can also put them on

for night and naps, taking them off in between.

My Tenny was 10 months old when he finished his 23/7 stretch (got a late

start). We reduced to 20 hours for two weeks, then 18 hours for two

weeks. Finally, down to 16 hours. That seemed to be our nights and

naps. Tenny was taking one nap for about 2 hours. We would do 14 hours

at night, take them off, them put them on for 2 hours at nap time. It

would have been easier to get the 16 hours in one stretch, but I liked

to have Tenny out of his shoes when he was awake. He was old enough

that I liked to see him spend some time on his feet. There may be other

mothers that think this was crazy, but they also know that sanity isn't

my strongest point.

We currently do 12 hours at night and 2 hours at nap time. Tenny will

be 2 next month. He probably doesn't need to wear his shoes at naptime

anymore, but he can't get out of his crib with them on (yet). I think I

put them on his feet more so he will stay in his bed and take the much

needed nap than anything. Of course, the extra hours aren't going to

hurt him any. I would probably still have him wear them 14 hours a day

if he wear them at naptime anyway; I am a bit cautious with the bracing.

I don't know if this will help, but maybe it will be a start.

natalie, thanks for your answer.

well

>>As for nights and naps. That could be anywhere from 14 to 18

now, Loreanzo's nap time is about 3 hours

>> Many people prefer to do the bracing all in one stretch.>>

I'd like to put the brace on only when Lorenzo sleeps, but doing the

bracing in one stretch may be a solution of a my problem.

on September i'll come back to office and lorenzo will stay with my

mom or a baby sitter. I'm not sure that they are be able to put the

brace on.
