Just make sure the hair isn't pulled too tight (the band shouldn't be right against the head), and make sure hair isn't pulled from the corners of the ears. Put the band in a little bit away from the scalp. Then pull the hair in the middle of the pony tail a little to tighten.
For Max's first year or a little more, I took the topknot out at night and let him sleep without it. His hair is too long now, so I take it out, massage his scalp. He wears scrunchies most of the time.
