Guest guest Posted April 2, 2002 Report Share Posted April 2, 2002 Paige: It is very rare for Cranial Tech to say it's ok for a child just to sleep in the band. In my 1.5 yrs in the group, I haven't heard of it very often & when I have heard of it, it's been with a STARband or a locally made helmet. I don't wanna bum you out! Sorry. How is doing in his band? Seen improvement? Debbie Abby's mom DOCgrad MI > I've read several emails where the children reach a point in which they only need sleep in their helmets at night. is in a DOC band, but we have heard nothing of his graduating to night time band wearing only. Is that common? That would be so great! > > Paige, Mom to (doc band 3/6/02) and Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 3, 2002 Report Share Posted April 3, 2002 Paige: The DOC Band is worn 23 hours a day until the child is finished with treatment. The DOC Band is redirecting growth of the brain. Since the brain/skull is growing 24 hours a day it is essential that the band be worn the 23 hours. If it is continually removed during the daytime, the head will grow and we not only miss an opportunity to direct that growth, but the pressures that were built into the band will not be as direct thereby removing the effectiveness of the pressures. I am only speaking for the DOC Band as different products have different protocols. Each family needs to listen to their clinician to get the best results with each specific product.
