Guest guest Posted February 13, 2002 Report Share Posted February 13, 2002 Hello and welcome. I'm sorry to hear that there are no band or helmet options in New Zealand. On the positve side - 5 months is a good age to get results from repositioning. Unfortunately I cannot give you any first hand advice about repositioning, but I would recommend checking out www.plagiocephaly.org/support for some good repositioning tips. I think you will get some other responses from moms here who have repositioned and have had some good luck with it.
