Re: How long did it take until your child was used to wearing the band?

It took Kieran about 4 days until he stopped noticing it, but I've talked to

other mamas whose little ones took a couple of weeks before they were comfy in

it (sorry! wish I had better news for you!)

I think it really depends on the baby, but she will eventually get used to it.

The 3 months will fly by, trust me!

Hi, I hope you're doing better now, and getting more sleep. My daughter never

slept great with her band - unless it was in our bed :-) But I don't think it

was just the band. She always preferred to co-sleep, even though I tried the

crib a lot. Finally when she was one year old I stopped trying and sold the

crib. I would say most babies adjust within 2 weeks in terms of sleeping.

Daytime is usually easier.
