Flat spot still there at 4yrs

[Guest guest]

Over the weekend I was thinking about the small (slightly larger than

a quarter) flat spot my daughter had on the back of her head as an

infant. This spot was bald for the longest time. Now she has very

long hair and no facial asymmetry (never did) but I put my hand on

the back of her head yesterday just to see if it had rounded out.

That flat spot is STILL THERE. I was thinking about it because dh

and I were having doubts about doing the helmet thing. I do believe

that this has erased all my doubts!! Some days ' head really

doesn't look all that bad, but over the weekend it was quite

noticeable - which is why I started thinking about 's flat

spot. I am going to point this out to my ped next time we're there -

just for posterity sake!

Yeah, that would erase any doubt I had left in me too about getting

his band. That's too bad the flatness remains, but happy

tohear it's not noticeable & she had no assymetries.

Will 's band be in this week or next?

Kristi,

I know exactly what you mean! I really wish I had known about plagio

and bands when my soon-to-be 4 year old was a baby, I really think he

would have benefitted from one. And because I was always self

conscious about the size of his head (it looked huge compared to the

rest of his body...the kid is a peanut!) I was more determined to get

the twins treated. Luckily Patch doesn't have any facial assymetry

either, and he has sort of 'grown into his head'. Oh well, I'll just

chalk it up to the fact that we're Irish....we have some BIG heads in

my family!!
