Guest guest Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 - My son's lymph nodes are very big too. His have been this way for a while due to cradle cap. Does your son have any kind of cradle cap or eczema on his scalp? This can cause the nodes to swell. Heidi Mom to Braden - STARbanded 02/17/06"Carol G." <GATTVA@...> wrote: ,They are one in the same. It is odd that the helmet seems to be irritating his lymph nodes. I think you are wise to have him checked out anyway just to be sure it is nothing else. If my memory serves me correctly a Clarren is a passive band which is generally used on very young babies. It can work on mild cases of plagio in older babies, but generally takes longer than an active band like a Doc band. I am not familiar with the Hangar facilities by you so hopefully some Hangar parents can jump in for you. Someone refresh my memory on weather Hangar bands are active or passive, I know we just had this discussion again and I am drawing a blank as to the conclusion.CAROLG>> Hello everyone!
