for Chris in NJ....new to the group

[Guest guest]

Hi

You have found the most wonderful group here. My son was banded from

11/05 until 3/06. Now he has a perfectly round head. We were told

early on to do tummy time and repo. I would like to think I was

diligent but we ended up with the DOC band when Nolan was 10 months.

We were lucky in that we had a near perfect experience with the band

and the staff at CT in Paramus (Juli rocks!) In my own opinion, I

would try the repo and tummy time, invest in some memory foam and see

how it goes. There is no rule that says you have to band him early. I

actually have a friend and her son was banded at 7 months and his band

isn't even going to last more than 3 months because he is growing so

quickly. Anyhow, the group offers a lot of support and advice so

keeping reading posts and hang in there!

Thanks Meagan, , and Jess for the welcome and opinions. We will try repo as we try to come to a decision on how soon to pursue the head band. I just don't want to wait too long as I see many people regretting waiting. Meagan, if we would choose DOC band, we would have to travel to Paramus from southern NJ. How frequently did you visit?
