I guess this isn't for remolding but to prevent plagiocephaly?

Pattie,

I personally think that's a bit much to put on your kid 24/7 to prevent

plagio from happening, when repositioning has worked successfully in doing

that. I think the reason most of our kids need helmets is either the plagio

started already inutero, has tort that is making repo near impossible, or

were unaware of the need to reposition and continued along the primrose path

the Docs have sold us that it will work itself out. Plagio doesn't just

happen overnight, if we were all educated about it before hand, some may

never have to go the helmet route- and still some of us will have to so that

the dynamic process can help shift what has already started growing the wrong

way. Sorry, just my opinion! But if I have another child- I will be looking

out for tort and for sure keeping him/her off that back of the head as much

and more on the tummy! Are they really promoting this as something a child

should wear all the time to prevent plagio?
