Re: Too late to start at 15-16 months

[Guest guest]

Honestly if you want results I would go to CT. One of the main reasons

is your comment from the local ortho saying they would do

" modifications if required " . How could they not be required unless the

band is passive - and the baby is too old for that. If they are

cynical and only doing it to please you, they really aren't the ones

to go with. You don't want someone to band your daughter just to make

you happy - you want someone to do it who believes it will work.

I know the travel, expense and time away from family will be tough,

but since it sounds like something you can manage I would say go for it.
