I tried everything to sooth him but in the end I had to just let him cry it out. It was hard to just let him lay in bed crying because of his helmet. But it is totally worth it! He cried for about 5 days, he's completely fine in it now & we could see lots of positive changes within the first 2 weeks. I would totally encourage you to keep trying the helmet.eunicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00935525383690050714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-176061010619490822.post-80073452254500229442012-04-20T22:03:45.465-04:002012-04-20T22:03:45.465-04:00Love the new look of your blog.

Too cute!<br /><br />I'm sorry to hear the helmet is so tough on all of you. Like others have said, no idea what you "should" do - I hope you can go with your gut on this one, whatever that's telling you. <br /><br />and when I read your comments about comparing wearing the helmet to CIO, I sighed inside as that reminded me of our sleep situation. Like, if I *knew* CIO would work with Allie, and it wouldn't last for weeks on end but would only take a night or two - I would really consider it. But the not knowing part keeps me from trying. And speaking of Allie's sleep - thank you so much for taking the time and effort to comment on Kaia's sleep and her routine and to send me the link to your friend's blog. Still don't have any other "plan" in place, but we'll see what develops over the next few weeks.Big Love, Big Acceptance - or so I sayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03647121831668711451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-176061010619490822.post-12441486927721365922012-04-15T14:59:58.295-04:002012-04-15T14:59:58.295-04:00we had a STARband for my youngest to help with pla...we had a STARband for my youngest to help with plagiocephaly and it definitely took time to get used to it, but in the long run I would do it again if indeed to.

I have no idea which I'd choose. :( <br /><br />And RE: your comment on my blog - in five years, I'm sure you won't be able to tell the difference at all. If we had to the two girls together (which...we should!! haha) they'd be running and jumping and any differences would be just based on heredity. :)Larahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14724675337980390322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-176061010619490822.post-58676988697504964432012-04-09T21:02:45.559-04:002012-04-09T21:02:45.559-04:00Oh, this is so hard.

This is a tough call, for sure, and you and your husband and beautiful Kaia have some tough days (hopefully just) ahead as you push for her to get comfortable.Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11246142239742915169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-176061010619490822.post-83349339280162245212012-04-09T13:48:58.231-04:002012-04-09T13:48:58.231-04:00Poor Kaia:( If its not one thing its another.

I think if you are taking a poll, I vote to keep up with it. It's so hard to make your kids feel uncomfortable, even when it's for their own benefit.<br /><br />As always Kaia looks adorable.kidsakeeperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10180978833430928181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-176061010619490822.post-69042951851560884012012-04-08T22:50:31.120-04:002012-04-08T22:50:31.120-04:00I love your new header, so cute. :)
I'm sorry...I love your new header, so cute. :)<br /><br />I'm sorry Kaia is having a hard time with the helmet. I wonder if it's simply the fact she's having to hold her head in uncomfortable position that is bothering her (because her neck muscles are strained or whatever?). Anyway, she looks super cute despite the brace and helmet. You're doing a great job.Lj82https://www.blogger.com/profile/01067562341189588336noreply@blogger.com
