HI! Some babies do wonderfully in the beginning and others have a harder time adjusting - Just remember consistancy is the KEY to success!

Let us know how it goes when she gets her band!

Getting the band in 2 weeks

My 6 month old daughter, Maggie, was just fitted for her DOC band at

CT in Skokie, IL. She has been going to PT once a week for about 2

months now, and while we have seen some improvement, they told us her

head measurements put her in the "severe" range, so we opted to go

with the banding. The initial appointment went smoothly, they didn't

have to cast her for the band since they use 3D imaging. I've been

reading other parents' comments and I'm just worried she'll have a

hard time adjusting to it for naps and at night with sleeping. She is

a twin and thankfully her brother doesn't have to wear the band, but I

just want things to go smoothly so that she and I get enough sleep. I

am excited to decorate it, I already have a few ideas to make it cute

for her to wear. I'm hoping she only has to wear it for a few months

and that she's done with it by summertime.

Good for you guys for going ahead and getting it! Your story could

be mine! My son is almost 6 months and he will get his helmet in two

weeks also. Noah was classed in high moderate...and they expect

him to wear his for 2-3 months. I guess we're on about the same

schedule.

I'm planning decorating as well..we're thinking daddy's fav football

team...Tampa Bay!! Best of luck to you!!
