Even a mirror helps so that they can check themselves out! Great to hear that the excercises are already helping! Good luck with everything and let us know when your starting the helmet process!

Guest guest Posted June 18, 2002 Report Share Posted June 18, 2002 Hello Sorry about not providing more info. My son is 4 months old and has been diagnosed with posterior plagiocephaly and slight torticollis. My husband and I have been doing the next exercises for the past month so his neck has gotten better, but the doctor recommends we get him into a helmut right away. The only problem is that are insurance is very vague on what they cover. The people I speak to at the company do not seem to know what they are talking about and keep giving me inaccurate information. I admit I haven't been forcing the tummy time as much as I should but he freaks out when I put him on his stomach. Last night I bought a bunch of foam to try with tummy time. Hopefully that will help. I would appreciate any information boston area members can provide me. thanks kair > > Hello > > > > I am trying to locate a center where I can have my son's head > casted > > and then adjusted as necessary.

Guest guest Posted June 18, 2002 Report Share Posted June 18, 2002 Kair- I would suggest calling your insurance agent who sold you the policy (or sold the company the policy). Ours was great in calling their contacts to figure out exactly what is covered. That way you are actually talking with someone who knows what they are talking about. If that doesn't work, contact the HR or Personnel Dept where you or your husband work (if you get the policy through work). They can be a big help in decifering what is actually covered.

Guest guest Posted June 19, 2002 Report Share Posted June 19, 2002 Hi Kair, I agree with about contacting your HR department if the insurance is through work or your agent if you bought it as an individual policy. They should be able to help you communicate with your insurance company. Good to hear that the neck exercises are helping out. The tummy time will help too, but I know what you mean about the baby not liking it - did not like tummy time. Of course, the more you do it, the more used to it the baby becomes!
