Re: Is anyone familiar with a Ballert Helmet

[Guest guest]

Hi Ray,

I searched the archives for you. I found a few old posts about the

ballert helmet. From what I understand it's a passive helmet. The

posts on here stated that the babies that wore ballert helmets wore

them for a year plus. Passive is good for an infant. I'm not too sure

how good it would be for a 10 month old. DOCbands and STARbands are

active bands. The difference between active and passive is, a passive

helmet sits on the babies head, eventually the babies head will grow

into the shape of the helmet. An active band actually redirects the

growth of the head through gentle pressure. Do you have a DOCband

clinic or a STARband clinic near you? I'm not a doctor but I think

your son would be much better off in an active band. Most babies wear

active bands for about 4.5 months. Where are you located? I can let

you know if your near a DOCband clinic.
