Proper Fit Question

[Guest guest]

Owen got his helmet on Friday and today was our first day of wearing it

for extended periods of time, and for sleeping in it. However, I

noticed that when I would give him his bottle and sometimes when he was

sleeping, that his helmet seemed too big. It fits fine in the forehead

and around the ears, but it seems like there is too much room in the

back, which allows for it to slide up on him a bit...I can put my

finger down into the gap from the top when it is pushed up in back. Is

this normal?? I am going to call his ortho tomorrow, but I thought I

would ask here also. Owen has a hangar band....

Thanks~

The same thing happened with my son's starband. It always slipped

up when he slept and I could fit my whole hand down the back of it.

I thought it was a big problem but the plastic surgeon told me to

shut up. I didn't like the fact that it wasn't staying in place when

he slept.
