Guest guest Posted January 17, 2002 Report Share Posted January 17, 2002 I really think that repositioning could be helpful to Preston and might reduce the time he has to spend in the helmet afterwards. On top of it, I think it's a good idea to start repositioning now, since your son is so young, he will probably be out of the helmet at a young age, and its a good thing to get him used to not always lie down on his flat spot now so that when he is not doing helmet treatment anymore there is no relapse. I repositioned my son since he was 2 months old, and we saw good improvement between 5 and 6 months. If you want ideas on way to reposition you can check his web page: http://www.geocities.com/alittleone2000/plagiopage_repo.htm Good luck to you, Annick Mom to (27/01/01) > Message: 10 > Date: Wed, 16 Jan 2002 16:16:24 -0000 > From: " barryandnancys " <barryandnancy@...> > Subject: Repositioning > > I wrote yesterday about my son who is 5 mo. old (Preston) that we are > taking to see a specialist on Fri. about Plagio.
