Guest guest Posted April 25, 2002 Report Share Posted April 25, 2002 Hi Kellie!! Welcome to the group. I'm in Oklahoma so I don't have any experience with CT in Burbank, however, the DOCband is an excellent product and it is very, very rare that you will hear anyone say anything but good things about it. We do have a number of members who have used or are using the CT in Burbank so hopefully one of them will respond. Good luck and I look forward to hearing some more of your story in the weeks and months to come! Marci (Mom to ) Oklahoma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2002 Report Share Posted May 28, 2002 Hi Sara, It's not to late if your interested in banding/helmet therapy. Many members have had good results after one year- Cranial Tech bands up to two years old as that is when the skull has finished hardening. I will attach their web site for you, although there are many different local places, as well as the STARband products to choose from- I'm sure you'll get tons of info from everyone on these! Good luck! If I can help in anyway, please let me know! ' Mom (DOC grad) Cranial Technologies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 28, 2002 Report Share Posted May 28, 2002 Hi & welcome to our group! We're glad you have found us! Unfortunately, SO many pediatricians give us all the " their head will round out on it's own " story. Some babies heads might, but not all will. You definitely still have time to get correction for your daughter's head shape! My daughter, Abby, didn't begin her DOCband therapy until she was 11.5 mos old. Abby's plagio was considered severe, but we were still able to get good correction with one band in 4.5 mos time! We are thrilled with Abby's results. Where abouts do you live? You can visit Cranial Technology's webpage at www.cranialtech.net . If you are near any of their locations, most offices offer free evaluations of children's plagio. Has your pediatrician referred you to a specialist yet? Most of us in the group have been referred to a specialist for an evaluation from them prior to receiving a band/helmet. Check out this website for a lot of great information regarding plagio: http://www.plagiocephaly.org/support If you go to the " before & after " section in that website, you can see my daughter's photos, she's the last baby's head you'll see on that page. There's a ton of great information about plagio on that sight! Welcome again to our group. Please keep us updated on your daughter & what you might decide to do.

Guest guest Posted May 29, 2002 Report Share Posted May 29, 2002 ---Hi!! My daughter la just was banded and she is 11 months. After only a little over a week we see some slight changes!!! I say definitely there is still time to do something about it. Have your ped. refer you to a neurosurgeon or a Cranial facial surgeon. They will diagnose and prescribe most likely a DOC band. If your ped. says she fine and does not need it, be persistant!!!! Mine said the same and I finally demanded a referral.Good Luck~~ & la In Plagiocephaly@y..., " sara_k_cox " <sara_k_cox@y...> wrote: > Hi everyone! > I just signed up to be a member of this group.

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2002 Report Share Posted May 30, 2002 Hi Sara and welcome! It is not too late to band your baby!!! We have soooo many members here who banded their babies at 12 months and older and had some really good results. Where are you located? You might check out www.cranialtech.com to see if there is a CT clinic near you (they make the DOCband) or www.orthomerica.com (they make the STARband). An active band like one of those would best for your " older " baby. I'm sure you have already gotten some great responses (I'm really behind on posts!), but let us know if we can help you any more!

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2002 Report Share Posted June 4, 2002 Hi . Welcome to the group. You are going to get some awesome advice, I know, but I just wanted to chime in and say hello and maybe a few pointers. Flat heads in babies is happening everywhere now due to babies sleeping on their backs to prevent SIDS. I noticed my son's flatness on the right side of his head when he was a little over two months. I noticed it while looking in the mirror at him. Unfortunately, I listened to the advice of his pediatrician, who told me that it is normal, that they're seeing it all the time due to back-sleeping, and not to worry. It will round out on its own. So at the time, being a 22-year-old first time mom, I listened, because I figured they would know better than I. Never a mention about repositioning, nothing about tummy time. So I continued to let him sleep on his right side like he preferred. My son did not like to turn his head to left, which we later found out was due to mild torticollis, which is a tightening in a muscle in the side of the neck they seem to be avoiding. That requires PT or some exercises you can do at home to get them trained to turn their head to the other side. My son seemed to work his own out once he reached the age of being able to sit up and crawl. Anyway, my point is, there is a 99.9 percent chance that upon seeing your child's ped, you will be told what many here have been told: "You are overreacting. No one's head is perfect. It will round out on its own." The fact is that many pediatricians are not educated enough about this subject, and that is why we have many members, like myself, not getting treatment started until close to 12 months of age, which, although still effective, is not as effective as it would be if the child had been treated earlier. If you see a dr about your son's head, be prepared to stick to your guns if your gut is telling you that it isn't right. It all comes down to what you want for your son. Don't let a dr dismiss you the way I was. It is unfortunate that at the time I didn't realize that drs are not perfect and are in no way gods. I would continue to give your son supervised tummy time during the day. Most babies don't like it at first. There are Boppy tummy time products you can buy that will help them prop up and look at things and have little rattle-like toys attached. Also, try repositioning him at night when he sleeps. There are several techniques. I used a big rolled up towel wrapped in a blanket and propped it under his right shoulder, the plagio side, which caused his head to roll to the other side. You may receive great results at your son's age with repositioning, but by the time a doctor with a clue told me to reposition, my son was almost seven months and he had a mind of his own when it came to sleeping. So with that, welcome again, and I know you're going to get some great advice that isn't all jumbled up like mine. it's hard to organize so many different thoughts without rambling for pages! : ) Good luck to you! You are in the best time right now to fix this! Kellie, mom of , 16 1/2 months Lacey, WA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2002 Report Share Posted June 4, 2002 , Hello and welcome. I think you are doing just right by trying to increase tummy time. Is he flat on one side? Does his head tilt or does he have trouble look to one side? Since he is so young, I think you would have some great success with repositioning. You can check out www.plagiocephaly.org/support - there you will find a link for repositioning tips and tons of other good info on plagio. It wouldn't hurt to mention it to your ped the next time you are there. I'm glad you have joined us and hope that you will stick with us.

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2002 Report Share Posted June 4, 2002 Hi , Welcome to the group! I see you have already gotten some great advice from Kellie (awesome post!) and I would just like to add that sometimes plagio is caused or progressed by torticollis (a tight neck muscle). I have found in talking with several moms here and at pt, that a lot of Doctors don't spot torticollis right away, they may even diagnose the plagio (flatness) first, although the torticollis may be the underlying cause of the plagio. Has your child shown any signs of favoring one side? Is he able to rotate his head fully to both sides? Does his head tilt to one side? Some of these questions may apply even to a child without tort, and I only bring it up to make you aware of this condition. In the event these answers are yes, tort is usually muscular and can be treated with physical therapy. Address any concerns you have with your ped at the 4 month check up- and sooner if you really think this is an issue. You have lots of time on your side for repositioning to work for you- and it has for some parents- and not for others (myself included in the latter). If your son's case is mild and there is no facial asymmetry, its my opinion that respositioning can really work for you. Its not always easy to keep them off that flat spot though, and Kellie gave you some really good tips for that. You can also check the database as well. You can try using a mirror, or putting him on the bed while your on the floor looking up at him- my son seemed to tolerate tummy time better this way too. Good luck and please keep us posted on how your repositioning efforts are going! ' Mom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 4, 2002 Report Share Posted June 4, 2002 - Have you tried the Boppy Tummy Time Mat? My son refused to be on his tummy unless he was on that. With the mat, he would tolerate it for about 5 minutes (5 minutes better than nothing!) I would suggest carrying your son around in a sling or a baby carrier to keep him off the flat spot. I recommend a maya wrap (mayawrap.com). Repositioning can help a ton at his age. We saw repositioning improvement with my son's flat spot, but his facial asymmetry was quite stubborn Good luck and congrats on your little nugget!

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2002 Report Share Posted June 4, 2002 Hi : Welcome to the group! We're glad to have you. Your son is at a good younger age for you to have noticed his plagio & to increase supervised tummy time as well as repositioning to keep him off his flat side. Most infants don't like tummy time at all! It can be such a stuggle to keep your child happy while on their tummy. Hopefully though, with every day of tummy time, your child will get more & more used to it. We have links to several products for tummy time & repositioning in our " bookmarks " section of our group. Check that out to find some great & helpful products. Hopefully other parents can help you there too, my daughter is over 2 so many new products have come out recently! Also for great repositioning tips check out: http://www.plagiocephaly.org/support then click " repositioning tips " . What area of your son's head is getting flat? Welcome again to our group. Good luck with tummy time. Please keep us updated on progress.

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2002 Report Share Posted June 5, 2002 Hi all, just has a small flat spot on the back of his head...it's kinda off to his right side. I have been giving him more tummy time, lay him on his side for sleeping, and got a pillow type of thing that is supposed to help with plagiocephaly. At least it's supposed to help prevent it. I'm not sure about correcting it. I am definitelyy going to mention it to his doctor (though we see her in a month!). Thanks to everyone that replied!

I have a small farm, 4 milch cows, and 3 goats in milch, pigs, calves, chickens, etc.....and we try to eat healthy, I have been browsing NT for a while now, cannot seem to find enough time to read it through, so just try to glean what I can at present. I have not gotten to the eating of raw meat, but do consume lots of raw dairy, yogurts, cheeses, etc. and lots of fresh veges. I am thankful to be able to access so much info on the internet, and glad that you accepted me...thanks.... Angel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
