Liddy105 - my DS was in the dennis brown and we found that he ended up with some blisters where the brace cuffs rubbed, one of the girls from this forum suggested using socks - I cut up some adult knee high socks, discard the 'foot' bit and use the long tube bit thats left to put around the brace cuff, as the socks are usually elasticised they should stay on the brace cuffs pretty well - does that make sense?

We also found that we needed to put a rolled up blanket under DSs legs when he was laying down as otherwise his legs were perched in the air a little, and we also used to put a rolled up nappy on one side of him so he wasn't lying completely on his back, he seemed to get a bit uncomfortable and wakeful unless we did that. Also I bought a toddler pillow for him (quite flat) but the extra cushioning seemed to improve his comfort and he slept much better.

The first week he was in the brace was a bit of a shocker for sleep from memory, hopefully Olivia gets used to it soon and starts to sleep a bit more for you
