Hi. Layla did not wear the collar... i just coudln't do it to her.. instead... i read on here somone suggested putting baby onsies on her... you know the little undershirts for infants that go under the diaper. Layla is a little over 3 lbs so i bought her premies... and she wore them for 10 days until she got her stiches out. She wore it mostly at night when i coudln't keep an eye on her.. but also during the day because she wanted to lick her stiches. she looked so cute too
i recommend them! i bought two packages because they did get quite dirty esp near the bum area
wal mart has them cheap! good luck.. let me know how it goes and send pictures!
