Re: Adapting to the helmet; head shaking!

[Guest guest]

Sandy,

Did she hit a growth spurt? Are there any red spots?

Does she get upset the whole time she's wearing it or just when you

put it on?

All three of my kids did some head shaking at about 5 months.

Sandy,

Dominick did that when he had his band at first. It scared me, but then

we realized he had figured out that he now had a round head to move on

and shortly after this he finally started rolling over( he was delayed

in this). Hopefully that is what is going on with Sydney.

My son does this all of the time. I just thought he did it because

it felt good to have the band off and he was just itching. He also

loves to have his head rubbed when it is off too.

I thought it was normal

Hopefully, that's what's going on. She shook her head a lot last

night when I took her band off. I'm hoping it's because she's just

feeling the sensation of the back of her head. Then when I put it

back on and put her down for the night, she kept doing it before she

fell asleep. I thought her head was itching or something was

bothering her. She has red marks right above the band. I haven't

seen if they go away within an hour. Our orthotist (from CT) said

after the initial 48 hours, don't be concerned about red marks, only

be concerned if there are skin texture changes.

Have there been any studies on negative effects fo the band? Any

sensory deprivation? I'm concerned about any possible future

effects since bands haven't been around all that long...

It's funny that you wrote this because did this for the 1 st time

last night. He woke up about 4:30, shook his head right and left a

couple of times and then went to sleep. He didn't have any red marks

but his eczema flared a little bit. I thought he might've been itchy.

Hi Sandy,

Does she just get mad right when you put it on? Both my girls didn't

like the putting on and taking off process. No idea why but they

always quieted right down when I stopped messing with them.

Technically bands/helmets have been around since the 70s. The DOC

band has been around since the late 80s/early 90s I think. It was

FDA approved in 98. na used to shake her head and scratch

it I compared it to when you take off a winter hat - your head

itches and your hair is all goofy feeling - sticky up etc.

Are you sure the ortho said not to worry about red marks after the

first 48 hours?? If she has a growth spurt the red marks can pop

back up again indicating an adjustment is needed. However, the

initial red marks are usually resolved in the first 48 hours. It

seemed to be like clock work with Kiersten.

Sandy,The bands are safe, they do not restrict cranial growth or interfere in developement in any way. Here is a study that might help you.Band Study I still want you to watch the red spots and be sure they fade in the proper time, but you don't have to be quite as obsessive as the first week.

My son received the DOC band 12/7/05 and before he had it on he was 6

months old and rolling and getting very strong, putting his legs

under his belly, lifting up on his forarms... Since the helmet has

been on NOTHING!! He is finally starting to roll back to belly again

but will not roll belly to back and will not (can not??) lift his

head up during tummy time for more than a few seconds.He is not

sitting infact he wiggles back down to be on his back. he is going to

be evaluated next week by a PT. this has stressed me out way more

than the helmet ever did. his head is rounding out beautifully!!! I

just see a 4-6 week regression in his gross motor skills... any

thoughts?

Lynn,

That is scary. I have not heard of the band doing this to any

child. I've ehard about them actually rolling afterwards. na

rolled shortyle after getting hers. Kiersten is thinking about it -

LOL - that's her personality. I'm glad you're getting it evaluated

because it makes no sense.

Lynn,

If anything the bands tend to help them move easier, but there are

certain things that can cause them to loose some of their gross motor

skills such as hypotonia etc... so it is a good thing that he will

be evaluated. Don't get too worried just yet, sometimes they just

want to scare us,lol. Please let me know what happens at the

evaluation.

Hi Lynn,

I agree w/. I don't think the band has anything to do w/this.

How is his tort coming along? Is he receiving PT for the tort? Let us

know how your eval goes.
