Hello Bizzib,

I have to say that my daughter was shoking for atleast the first week with brace on (she is in the 'correctio'). She wouldnt sleep and we had a hard time getting her to feed as it was really difficult for her to get comfy- it was just like having a new born all over again.

Things will get better i can promise you that, babies adapt to things really well!

Thankfully Zali can have her brace off for upto 2 hrs a day (i rarely give her that much time though). during this time i put her on her tummy and massage her hips to help with any cramping from staying in the same position all day and i also massage her back and shoulders... at the start i also gave her a dose of nurophen but she doesnt need that any more. This really seems to calm her down and help her settle into bed.

Now after two and a half weeks with the brace on Zali slept her first full night in her entire life last night!
