Re: how do usualy ur bpi baby sleep

<t>We try to let have our daughter the "hands up" position (I mean with her forearms next to her head).<br/> <br/> This not something that was recommended to us. I think this is a good position because her arm is besides her body very often during daytime. So I figured it will contribute to her ROM ...

How to encourage tummy time

<t>My daughter is recovering from paralysis of her shoulder and biceps. She is 7 months old now. To build up strength we were practising tummy time with her. That went really well, should could lean on her arms for about 5 minutes.<br/> <br/> Now she has learned to turn to her back. Of course that i...

Tie up the good arm: usefull or bad

<t>My child (7months old) uses her injured arm but when you give a toy she immediately hands it over to her unaffected arm.<br/> <br/> Does anybody have experience to temporally tie up or use a glove in order to stimulate the injured arm?<br/> <br/> Personally I don't like this idea, but if it will ...
