Re: another question... red forehead

[Guest guest]

Kia,

Looseness is not an uncommon with a new band. Each time you receive an

adjustment or your baby has a growth spurt the band will fit differently. Our

ortho basically told us that we would go through numerous phases with our helmet

where it would fit differently in one place and then another and then another.

If the band is rubbing Coles head so that it is causing the skin to break down

then I would say you definitely need an adjustment. Otherwise just monitor it

very closely and make sure the band is not inhibiting vision or causing redness

that does not fade in the hour the band is off.

right?

Kia,

' band also would slip forward and back a little- it did concern me and he looked like a shar-pei puppy at times. CT said it was normal, its for growth to occur in that flat area, and it did get more snug overtime. Good luck!
