Re: Daughter 15 months...is it too late for helmet?

[Guest guest]

I would definitely recommend getting an evaluation by Cranial Tech

(docband). One of the other moderators of the group, , banded

her son at 17 mo and had very good results. I think his story is in

the files section.

Welcome!

Wow, you sound exactly like me just about a year ago. I truly know

how you feel. I pushed to have my son banded when he was 16 months

old, finally getting a specialist to write a script for me. I went

to Cranial Tech and my son recieved his first DOCBand at 17 months 1

week of age. We saw really really great results. He did wear 2 bands

over the course of almost 8 months, but it was so worth it. I highly

recommend banding, even at a late age. As long as she's growing at a

decent pace, you should see at least some positive results. And for

me, it was just knowing that I was doing everything I could that

made all the difference. My son's head isn't perfectly round, but

it's as close to it as we could get. His before and after pictures

are in the Older Plagio Babies folder (I think that's the name of

it), under Jake W.

Best of luck!
