considering second band -- opinions wanted

[Guest guest]

My son is 11 months old and has been wearing his DOCband (for

plagiocephaly) for 2 months. His head is flat on the right side and

had a pretty decent bump on the left side. During the past 2 months,

we have seen great correction of the bump, but the flatness remains.

While I expect that it will take another 2 months to round out the

flatness, I was told yesterday that the best correction generally

occurs within the first 2 months because the band tends to

get " stretched out " over time. Now I am considering whether or not to

have him casted for a new band so we can get the best correction

possible over the next few months -- or do we wait until he outgrows

his current band and go from there?
