Guest guest Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Welcome ! My dd wore 2 bands for almost 6 mo. It did not stunt her development, infact she didn't roll over until the day after she got her band (6.5 mo old) and she was walking at 8.5 mo. The hardest part for me was the smell - but that's easy to fix. Jen and Luli - 26 months Left tort - Right Plagio - Hanger Band Grad - CA http://www.babiesonline.com/babies/j/jens5th/ New here.... HI.... I'm a new mom and after being concerned about the flatness of our son's head, the pediatrician sent us for a CT scan. When he got the results he said we should see a neurosurgeon at s Hopkins for cranial synostosis. The neurosurgeon denied that diagnosis and said it was definitely plagiocephaly. He sent us to the Star center where our son was scanned. We go back in 2 weeks for him to be fitted and start wearing it for 3 months. He is 4 months old. For those of you who have been through this....is it really difficult? Will his hair growth be stunted? Please give it to me straight some basic ups and downs you have experienced. While I am extremely grateful he didn't need surgery, this little helmet could make for a very long 3 months and I worry about his normal development. Supercharge your AIM.

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Hi there and welcome! My son wore the DOC band for 2 months which flew by! He started rolling back to tummy pretty soon after the band (he was 7.5 months when he got the band). All of his developmental milestones were met within the " normal " time frame that they should be met. The first 2 nights were rough but by night 3 he was back to sleeping through the night. His disposition remained the same, happy baby the entire time banded. I am SO glad we banded...I think you will be glad that you banded and find it a positive experience. Good luck on this journey. lisa > > Welcome ! > My dd wore?2 bands for almost 6 mo.
