Did you use leggins that were a size smaller than what she would typically wear, same size?? I REALLY like that idea because then you don't need to put them over anything and she could wear them as jammies and hip helpers!

But, for night time I didn't really want them to be quite so tight. It seemed too uncomfortable for sleeping. So, I took a pair of fairly snug leggings and sewed them together to the knee.It works great for nighttime.I have a friend who did the same thing with a one-piece pair of thermal underwear because her son kept taking his hip helpers and his diaper off every night, lol!csmithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04439615092702553284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-691280826512919640.post-88306584499011823952012-07-08T08:50:33.330-04:002012-07-08T08:50:33.330-04:00Oh my goodness how much she has changed!!

Yah...So good to hear we're not alone with that! Yah my feeling is the same, like I said, if my girls didn't have heart issues and low immune systems as it is, I'd not vaccinate, but they do. The doctor agreed to draw blood titers for some of the things that she has had one dose of and if she shows immune we don't have to do the others. <br /><br />We have the hip helpers, she actually grew out of the size we had so her PT is ordering some bigger sizes to try. Her problem is that she spits up after wearing them for 20 minutes...which probably means they were too tight around her belly...her proportions are so off that if we go with the bigger sizes they go down way too far on her legs! We're going to try a couple of other sizes and see if we can make them work, if not we might order a custom pair. Her measurements are very WONKY compared to the chart they give on the website!!! Short legs, huge belly!!! LOL Does your little girl have this problem of them not fitting right??? I would love to use them at night but won't do that unless she can wear them during the day for longer periods without getting uncomfortable :(Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08935757091952994294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-691280826512919640.post-229911970222205272012-07-07T16:29:57.852-04:002012-07-07T16:29:57.852-04:00Yes, we realize it's a thin liquid....since sh...Yes, we realize it's a thin liquid....since she only aspirated when the straw cup was pulled away and interrupted her pattern, they weren't worried as every single other swallow with thins was fine. Her feeding therapist here actually suggested the popsicle :) Thankfully her dysphagia is not as severe as many other kids! I think she really only got a very small fraction of the popsicle IN her mouth anyways LOL!!!

The reason I'm pointing that out is because a lot of people don't realize it and unfortunately, a lot of SLPs don't take the time to point it out.<br />I'm not in any way trying to say that you shouldn't provide Mila with popsicles (or other thin liquids for that matter) as I obviously don't know the specifics of her dysphagia. I just wanted to make sure that it was a conscious decision to provide thin liquids and not a lack of awareness.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-691280826512919640.post-73745233397072509112012-07-07T15:08:20.690-04:002012-07-07T15:08:20.690-04:00Thanks so much for sharing your pictures, they are...Thanks so much for sharing your pictures, they are so darn cute! I'm so glad that your girls are doing well. Like Zoya, my son has had terrible reactions to his baby shots. High fever, long bouts of crying, no sleeping, for days. None of my other 7 kids reacted this way. I've decided not to skip them because some of our kids don't have a great immune system and we are around a lot of kids who are not immunized, so I feel like we are at higher risk. But, we have started doing just one at a time and it made a big difference in the length of his reactions.<br /> Mila is such a doll, the way she sleeps is so funny! Have you thought about using hip-huggers at night? We use them with our little girl and it seems to improve her posture through the day, and she sleeps better now. I think she was waking herself up moving around so much.csmithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04439615092702553284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-691280826512919640.post-39123467023133978612012-07-07T10:37:58.234-04:002012-07-07T10:37:58.234-04:00All I can think of is WOW!

LOL Love that she is learning how to interact with the Mabel with brushing and leading, that is awesome. <br /><br />Ms. fussy pants and her popsicle had me cracking up. She sure has the "eating thing" down doesn't she. Girl knows what she likes!The Mac's Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04216982420030770388noreply@blogger.com
