Re: We got DOC band last week...now some questions...PLEASE

[Guest guest]

I noticed phs personality change a little also when he got his band on. Like

you said not a bad mood just not himself. it was like he lost a little bit of

his spunk. if that makes sense. He didnt babble or laugh as much.

I didnt noticed that he slept anymore then usual but it didnt affect his sleep

at all. maybe she is also having a growth spurt. I noticed that the times when

he would sleep more he also had more growth when we went for adjustments on the

band

I actually cleaned the band twice a day. It seemed to help with irritaion for

joseph.

As far as crawling and other milestones i dont want to say he was delayed bc he

has meet every mile stone. but he was on edge with all of the physical ones. ie:

sitting up, crawling, etc. he meet them but at the very last second before they

would say he was delayed

I also took the band off for special occasions. He didnt have it on for

christmas pictures or on halloween i took some pic of him in his costume without

it. Its really just about how comfortable you are with having it off. I

personally didnt want to miss any growth he had so i tried not to take it off

much except for cleaning or a special occasion

Hope that helps....good luck

herself...not a bad mood, just not as smiley...

initially it is tough physically (weight on head) and it makes them sleepy --

Josie has been sleeping 14 hrs a night and taking 3 naps a day. She is 7

months.

baptized (no water) on Sunday and I kinda want helmet off in front of

congregation, should that just count toward hour off?
