My son was about a year and half when he had it done and it was a complete disaster as well. The child who always slept like a champ was up all night except for the occassional 10 minute power naps and he kept pulling everything off. They couldn't get any decent readings but were satisfied enough that we didn't have to redo it. THANK GOD!
