Guest guest Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 Hello, My 6 month old daughter recently received her first DOC band, I of course and beinging to freak out, I am so worried that it won't help!! She is a twin and was very squished in the womb. Her twin's head is perfectly round. She was diagnosed pretty early on with torticollis and we have been stretch and massaging to help it. We have troied everything short of duck taping her head to the mattress as far as repositioning goes (I am kidding about the duct tape, we would never actually do it) So we got our band or better known as The " helmet " . Ther is a lot of space for her head to grow into and one day when I get to it I will post some pics of her and her head. One question I have is about decorating it ( yea the real serious questions first) we would like to " sign " it, as if it was a cast, I am wondering if anyone has used markers and if so how did it work out and did you ahve to use varnish to keep it from getting rubbed off. I have heard of paint pens and am thinking that may be better. Thanks and I am sure I will have many more questions, probably as I get more amd more nervous that it may not help!!
