Re: Helmet only at night?- yes

[Guest guest]

Hi,

My daughter had a band from a local ortho recommended by our ped and when

we got to the end where she was in normal limits, but I still had concerns about

regression because at the time she was still a back sleeper, he said she could

wear it at night. If nothing else, it put my mind at ease and I didn't have to

cringe when I saw her laying on her newly rounded head.

Maybe it isn't standard practice, but I didn't find it to be a joke since it

helped me!!!!! She even got an extra mm of correction from wearing it at night

even though she was technically done!!

I have the same concerns about regression since our son isn;t crawling yet and

just rolls. I think we will likely wear it at night for a bit even though he

mostly sleeps on his tummy. I understand the cringe factor! Congrats on

another mm!!

If you decide to keep it on at night, make sure it still fits properly. Our

daughter had outgrown her band when she graduated. Our ortho did his best to

make a little more room just in case she needed time to adjust, but we didn't

put it back on.
