Day 4 is 8 hours on and 1 hour off. I gave them a break after 4 hours and then put them back in them. Asher’s helmet is fitting great and we aren’t seeing any red spots and he is tolerating his helmet well. He wore his helmet all evening and slept in it last night!
We are still having a hard time with Vaughn’s helmet though, they added a piece in the back of his helmet to help it fit better and it has pushed the placement of the helmet forward and now the cheek pieces are rubbing on his ears. He wore his helmet until his 10:30pm feed and woke up crying so we took it off as they never wake up crying. There is a small red spot on the back of his head so we are monitoring it closely. Vaughn won’t sleep in his helmet until after our Monday appointment when it can be adjusted again but he is going to be wearing it while he is awake. So we are half way there, one twin is wearing his helmet 23 hours a day.
