Guest guest Posted August 21, 2002 Report Share Posted August 21, 2002 Hi , I had a ped NS tell me that a helmet wouldn't work for at 10 months old! I think a lot of these NS say these things b/c they use a local company that makes passive helmets. Older babies need an active band: STARband and DOCBand. He was the second NS I took her to. I didn't listen to what either one said. received her band at 11 months and one week old. Sometimes you just have to do what you think is right for your child. > Hi, > > I wanted to see if there were any parents out there that had their child > seen by a specialist at 12 months or older and were told the band would not > help at that age.
