Guest guest Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 Hi Totti, My daughter had brachy too and went from about 96% to 85% wearing a starband for 5 mo (age 5 to 10 mo). Not all kids grow at the same rate,and maybe DOCband results would be quicker, but I don't really know that 10 wks would really be enough. However I think if this was my only option I would still try to do it. Have you visited CT? Maybe they would be able to advise you better about the time frame, and expected outcome. Also you could ask them about waiting until you return to the US in September and starting then. Here are some links to sydney's head: http://health.ph./group/Plagiocephaly/photos/view/e3ac?b=51 & m=s & \ o=0 http://health.ph./group/Plagiocephaly/photos/view/e3ac?b=47--- http://health.ph./group/Plagiocephaly/photos/view/e3ac?b=50 & m=s & \ o=0 Good luck with your decision, and I hope you can get the transportation worked out too. It sounds like a lot of juggling, but if you can help improve his headshape I think it will be worth it. -christine sydney 2 yrs starband grad In Plagiocephaly , totka parusheva <tparusheva@...> wrote: > > , > He does not have asymmetry, but has branchy. He got measured 3 weeks ago at 96, but I have been repositioning him since then and i have seen improvement, so I am expecting to be less then this. Also, I should say that for everybody his head looks normal (the whole family, the pediatrics, etc), so I am against everybody to put the band, but I feel that if I do not do it I will aways wonder whether I could have helped for his head to be almost perfect. > I really hope for good results from the band as everybody is so skeptical, and are saying that I am just waisting my money and time. > Thank you > Totti > > <nwilkens2275@...> wrote: > I just wanted to clarify my statement: I should have said, depending > on the severity, I think it is possible to get good correction in 10 > weeks.
