Whether to get 2nd helmet (m)

[Guest guest]

graduated from his DOC-Band a couple of weeks ago, after only 8

weeks in the band. (He is now 7 mos. old.) At his last appt., there

was no discussion of him needing a second band. In the interim

between that appt. and his exit casting today, my husband repeatedly

voiced his concern to me that 's head isn't perfectly round in

the back. We asked the PT about this at the exit casting today. She

kind of beat around the bush until I flat out asked her, " would you

recommend a second band? " Although never directly answering that

question, she said that falls in a grey area where 60% of the

kids wouldn't get a second band (but then, 40% would). Right now, I'm

of the opinion that, if really " needed " the second band, CT

would have told us that when he graduated. Our pediatrician referred

us to CT, so I guess we could seek an opinion from him. For those of

you who went with a second band, did you affirmatively " opt " for it or

was it just expected or recommended that a second band was needed to

complete the treatment? Thanks in advance!
