Hi Moms:



My name is Kate and I have an 11 month old son with CF. We have been doing manual CPT since birth but lately it has gotten fairly difficult as he has really started to fight us and wiggle around. It takes 2 people to get a really good 25 minute session in but usually I am by myself. I was wondering if you guys have any tips or ideas for me. Thank you so much! Kate

Let me talk to another therapist and I'll get back to you!! I don't work with babies, so I definitely know of someone else who will be able to help. But, don't give up!! maybe a toy or movie on while you're doing CPT. I know they have some small vests, but I don't think they're that small. I happened to remember while I was in school, that our CF teacher told us, that he suggested getting a trampoline, b/c it's something that's fun and it will also help loosen secretions up, but since he's 11 months old, i don't know. I'll get back to you on that!!
