Re: Heat rash and yeast infection first week??!!

[Guest guest]

Once the band is back on keep her cool. Take the band off every hour or so and

wipe it down and her head with a dry towel. Maybe keep a fan on at night so she

won't overheat. Dress her lighter than you think you need to. Check if her hands

or legs are cold while she is sleeping. If not she is probably fine. After a

week or so in the band her body temperature will adjust somewhat and it will be

easier. You will still need to dress her lighter though. My daughter didn't wear

socks the entire time she was banded (we were in san francisco area).
