Re: Newbie with regression question

[Guest guest]

How old is your daughter? Regression isn't very common, and it isn't

always the kids you think will regress. It is sometimes kids who have

tort, or younger babies, but not always.

As for nighttime/nap wear... Are you happy with her headshape? If the

band still fits is it worth wearing for 23 hours to get more

correction? I would tend to do that if possible. If her head is

completely better, than I would try the naps/nighttime, but I " m not

sure if it will really make a difference or not. Hopefully you won't

have to deal with regression either way.

My daughter graduated at 10 mo old, and we just quit completely, since

the band no longer fit. We had a followup visit 4 mo later, and there

was no regression.

She is 8 months old and we are very happy with the shape of her

head. Her head looks great! I am just concerned that once she

stops wearing the helmet and sleeps prmiarily on her back, we would

be dealing with repositioning again.

-8 weeks that is great!!!! I was wondering what was her asym? Did she

have one side more pronouced in her face or was it just the side of

her head?
