Hi and Jim,

Sounds like you are really on top of things and know exactly what to do going

forward. Sorry I can't help you with the doctors (I'm in Oklahoma)! Check out

an earlier post about single-handedly keeping the Boppy company afloat. That

post lists several good products for repositioning plus that mom has been

repositioning her twins with some success and might be able to offer some

insight.

Best wishes and I hope you will keep us posted.

I've heard good things about Dr. Grahm the Director of the Pediatric Outatient Clinic at Cedars Sinai in LA.

Jim:

I haven't heard of Dr. Grahm, but I have heard of Cedars Sinai, in fact I have visited their web site on many occasions for cranio information! ) I'm sure they are as good in the plagio dept. as they are with cranio! You'll have to let us know how it goes!
