Re: Admitting to taking band off?

[Guest guest]

Yes, please tell him you weren't comfortable leaving it on. If your baby has

grown he might be wondering why it has gone a certain way, and make an incorrect

adjustment. Good luck and let us know how he explains the problem you're seeing

(asym on " good " side).

asymmetry. Should I admit this at our appt this week? We are seeing the plastic

surgeon and the ortho for a scan. The thing is that I want them to adress the

brachy specifically but now I think I might get resistance if I say I took it

off.

plagio side to surpass the other side and the helmet was super tight causing

more irritation than necessary. Then I took it off last week. I keep oscillating

between giving up for the plagio and living with the 92% cephalic index OR

driving over two hours to CT to crainial technology for a DOC band.

months old so the window is shrinking. He does not yet sleep on his tummy. If he

did it would make my decision easier. I also can't make the family members who

are the babysitters keep it on him any more because they all resisted me to

begin with.
