We have always done CPT (now vest) three times a day. We up it to 4 times a day when he's sick. When DS has gotten a little cough or wheeze we've been told to "beat it out of him". There are some parents who do it 4 times a day on a regular basis. If you've got the time and the inclination, it's not going to hurt anything. When I was on maternity leave for 12 weeks, we did CPT 4 times a day and sometimes we did/do little mini-cpt sessions. He used to fall asleep during CPT, seemed to calm him. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
And just because he's sick, doesn't mean you should stop CPT. People wcf tend to have thicker, stickier mucus, so it's good to get that stuff up and out so it doesn't stagnate. I figure if the stuff that makes DS' nose all stuffed up is anything like what could be in his lungs, it's in our best interest to be agressive with CPT.
