RE: Keeping helmets on older babys

[Guest guest]

My son is 10 months and can take it off. He doesn't even undo the velcro--just pulls until it comes off. I'm SURE it hurts when he does it!

We're right down to the last little bit with ours and I'm SO tempted to call it a day, honestly. He had it off for a bit last month because he was sick with bronchiolitis and double ear infection (again!). Just couldn't bear to put it on him when he was feeling so miserable.

My grandson is 14 months and has been in his second helmet for a couple of months. He has now mastered opening the velcro and taking it off. He is o.k. about keeping it on at nighttime (mostly). Any suggestions from the group how to keep him in the helmet? He still has a ways to go to have a nice round head.Thanks,Heidrun
