Doc band advice

Today is our first day with the band and I’m already so overwhelmed. I know people say the first week is the hardest to adjust. My baby is sweating so much from his head because of it. Does anyone have any experience with the band or any advice :(

Following, we might be getting one too :(

Yea I’m getting one too ! So anxious about it

@Nausheen so far it hasn’t been as bad as I was expecting. I know everyone’s experience can be different. He slept completely through the night with it and it didn’t seem to affect him falling or staying asleep. He still sweats a lot which makes me feel terrible 😭 the front tips down a lot too so we’re constantly readjusting. They said that’s common in the beginning. Just trying to remind myself we’ll get through it and the 9 weeks will hopefully fly by 🥲

Thanks for the great assurance! Did you also do it with cranial technologies?

@Nausheen yes we did! We had the free consultation appointment then we provided insurance information to figure out what will be covered and then they set up an appointment to take photos of babies head for the actual mold. We got it a week later, which was Monday! The insurance part took the longest for us. Or first initial appointment was August 21st! So took us 2 months

The insurance part is what delayed me too. Mainly because when I went in for the consultation, we set everything up and then they told me as the last step that I need to prescription from my insurance. Navigating that for the referral and then prescription took weeks. How long is your baby treatment plan and how old is your baby? If you don’t mind my asking? My daughter is almost 9 months now, so we’re just now finally getting around to it. BtwThanks for sharing!

@Nausheen luckily my pediatrician had given us the prescription before we even went to the consultation so that helped! My lil guys treatment plan is 9 weeks! I don’t mind sharing at all, happy to help 😇. He is about to be 6 months on Saturday
