Re: Re: wondering how long it takes

[Guest guest]

Hi Debbie- Owen has the DOC band from Cranial Tech. We got a chance to see his mold last week and I thought I saw a lot of change (especially when his hair is dry) but I got sort of discouraged when I looked at him from above when his hair was wet in the tub. He is growing I think but he is long and skinny. At 9 months he weighed 17.8 lbs. and was 29.5" long. It is hard to tell when he grows because he is such a string bean. I guess I really need to be patient and let the band do its job. Thanks for the feedback!

If it's the DOCband, Cranial Technologies should have his head mold in by now, that will give you a great visual aid to compare what his head looked like in the beginning vs. what it looks like now. At eight mos., you should be seeing some improvement after a month, esp. if he's grown since he's rec'd the band. Have you noticed any growing? Has he outgrown any clothes since beginning?I also suggest taking pictures of his head on a weekly basis, be sure you date each picture. It really is so hard to know if you're really seeing improvement. One minute you think you do see it's rounding, the next you don't think you've seen any! It's frustrating, I know.!Debbie Abby's mom DOCGradMI> Hi All-> > Owen was banded at 8 months on Dec 5th and I was wondering how much > correction I should be seing.
