Itchy Head Under Starband

[Guest guest]

My baby is 9 months old and has been in her Starband for three months. Just this

week, she started pulling at her band and whining. After we take it off, she

also itches her head and fusses. I noticed a few very faint tiny dry bumps that

might be the source. But it seems so minimal for the amount of discomfort she

seems to be in. We have been keeping the band off of her for the time being

hoping the symptoms would subside. I thought maybe the helmet was a little tight

and rubbing, but the ortho shaved some off and she was still itching. It's not

too warm here yet, so I ruled out heat rash. She's not too sweaty underneeth

either.

Since she has been in the band for three months, I am tempted to say forget it

and take her out of the band all together. But it doesn't seem like she has

gotten all that much correction for her plagio yet...

Unsure what to do.

I'm not sure I have any good advice, but wanted to share that my son had this

itching issue too, at the base of his head area, after having had the band a

while. I too had the ortho shave some out in that area a few times even and it

didn't seem to help. Actually he seemd fine until I took the helmet off he

would itch like crazy, and there was no rash just some redness. anyway, this is

one of the reasons I decided to say good enough with his head and we finished

him up at 3mm. I have heard others give advice on using aveano paste and

putting that on them in the bath, I never tried it though.
