Re: Ok. I need some questions answered.

I would definitely leave it off him if he still has the red spot and

then call again in the morning. I did not personally experience any

red spots that lasted more than an hour, but from what I've heard,

you should keep it off him until you can get in for an adjustment.

Try some extra smelly shampoo like Suave or Loreal for Kids. Other

than that, there's not much you can do but scrub, scrub, scrub with

rubbing alcohol.

We don't use the memory foam, but other moms have mentioned that

it's good for keeping the baby comfortable, it allows their head to

sink into the mattress more so that the helmet doesn't effect their

sleeping quite as much. My son sleeps fine without it though, so we

haven't used it.

Is your son in physical therapy for his tort? You don't have to

reposition him while he sleeps once he's in the band full-time. It

will protect his flat spot. But if he's not in therapy, I would

definitely look into it. Tort can't be corrected without a lot of

stretches and exercises.

Good luck!

Well we have doing sacral cranial therapy. That has helped so much.

He has almost full rotaion and only tilt sometimes. We do start

regular PT tommorrow we go for the evaluation.

Thanks for you advice. I will look into the memory foam and see what

others say about it.

Does it slant down only while the helmet is on, or when it is off

too? My son's one eye slants down a little more than his other, but

that is part of his facial assymetry that is visible even the when

the helmet is off. If the helmet is pushing her eye down, you might

want to take it in for an ajustment.
