Debbie- that is great advice and I am sure my husband will agree with you because he wants me to stop freaking myself out with all of this info I am reading. I too am now worried about the craniosyntesis. I just need to wait until I go to each one of these doctor appts and take it from there. Thanks so much I will just stick with you guys and ignore all of this other outside stuff! Thanks p.s. what do you think about the asymmetry and the little chin strap on her helmet ? I am wondering if that will make it worse??

Heck no!!! 4 mos is truely the best age to begin helmet therapy!!!

Grace is coming up on the most growth spurts, which will result in

very fast head growth, which will result in excellent rounding!!!!!

I would suggest you stop reading all these articles! LOL - I did the

same thing when I was worried about Abby possibly having

craniosynostosis. Sometimes, too much information is bad. You worry

about everything " Well, Abby has that, so she must have cranio " . I

had many sleepless nights worrying about that for no reason at all.

Do yourself a favor, and stay off the internet for a while, outside

of our group of course!!!

Hang in there! Many of us are jealous you've gotten such an early

start with Grace's helmet. She'll be done in no time with a rounder

head! You lucky dog.

I AGREE!! 6 MONTHS IS A GOOD AGE TO BEGIN WITH THE DOC band. KORBEN

WAS 6 MONTHS WHEN HE RECEIVED HIS AND YOU COULD TELL THE DIFFERENCE

IT MADE AFTER A WEEK. BUT HOPE THAT YOU HAVE GOOD LUCK TOO WITH YOUR

CHILDS DOCband. KORBEN HAS 4 TO 6 WEEKS LEFT IN HIS AND I AM GLAD

AND I CANT WAIT.
