Re: regression after removal

[Guest guest]

Our son started wearing the DOC band at 7.5 months. He wore it till

he outgrew it at 9.5 months. I took him back at 13 months as I thought

he regressed which fortunately he didn't. We were told to just STOP

wearing it when he graduated. Regression is rare. I have heard of

some orthosists saying to keep it on until a certain age opposed to

until the desired correction is achieved. If you google " Hannah's

Noggin " you will read about her regression (with no known cause). But

again this very rare.

Good luck.
