Re: Concern parents seeking advice for a new doc band user

[Guest guest]

Even though they wear the band 23 hours you are able to take it off every few

hours to wipe down her head and the inside of the band. They will give you a

care sheet when you pick up your band too. If she gets hot easily, I would just

make sure you dress her in very light clothes.

First, welcome to the group.

As for your daughter getting hot, I agree with dressing her in very light

clothes.

We keep the thermostat at 66, which keeps our daughter comfortable at night.

Unless we plan to be outside (when it's cool) for a prolonged period of time, I

rarely put shoes and socks on her. I was told at our initial appointment that

heat escapes through the feet and head and therefore I should try and keep shoes

and socks OFF as much as possible. This simple idea has helped a lot for us.

As a parent, we tend to want to bundle up our children, but you'll have to get

that idea out of your head and know that unless you're taking her out in the

snow (or freezing temps), she's probably going to be warm enough with the band

and light clothes.

Not sure where you live, but we are in Texas and have been enjoying nice cool

fall weather. Our daughter rarely gets sweaty in her band. Here's hoping you

too live in a cool area and that your daughter will have no problems at all!

Best wishes!
