Guest guest Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Hi Marcy, IMO your daughter looks like she may have scaphocephaly (long and narrow) Have you had your daughter evaluated at a Cranial Technologies? I know there is one other mom on here who's son had scaphocephaly, I cant remember the mom's name but I think her son's name was quinn and maybe she can offer some insight. The good thing is your daughter is very young and if you do decide to go the helmet route you are sure to receive excellent correction. Best of luck in whatever you decide! -mom to CJ - 2 years old Doc Band Graduate 9/2007 (seems so long ago!) > > > > OK, I will first admit that I ap my children so I lay with kids > until they > > fall asleep and if they wake up in the night so sometimes I am > laying around > > waiting with nothing to do so I think about weird things if nothing > else is > > on my mind lol.
