Re: 18 months old plagiocephaly - is it too late?! Please help

[Guest guest]

Most of us are from the US but we do have (have had) quite a few members from

the UK. All are welcome! So don't let that be an issue. Not everyone is able to

shop around for helmets because of insurance and/or location, it just happens

that some people do have that opportunity. The company that we went to (Cranial

Tech) has a great reputation overall, but also particularly with " older " babies

(over 12 months old). But they don't have offices in the UK (only the US and

Spain). I have heard of the LOCBand, but not in a while. It wouldn't hurt to do

a search of old messages to see if anything comes up on it, or you can start a

fresh post with UK and LOCband in the subject line, and hopefully it will jump

out to people and you'll get some good info that way.

various NHS professionals that it was nothing to worry about and it would

improve. it hasn't so we have signed up to have the helmet treatment but we are

EXTREMELY worried. its not the money, its the fact that he is now a little boy

really with likes and dislikes and feelings and we are wondering if it is going

to be 10 or so months of toture for him with no result. Can anyone advise? we

are new to this and have no really idea what we are letting ourselves or him

into whether we do go ahead with is or whethre we dont. Has anyone out there had

a helmet fitted so late in the day with good or bad results? please help as i

can't sleep at night wondering what to do about this for the best. I am so angry

that we didnt have good advice from the start. xx
