Guest guest Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 My son just turned 1 and has been in his starband for about 6 months and are very pleased with the results. We were told that somewhere around 1, the head hardens and growth will slow, so we may not see much change from now on. The orthodist said his measurements were good, but his head could still round out a (very)little bit more. So, keep it on for another month. But then our pediatrician said that his head looked good and for peace of mind, just wear it at night for the next month. Who do we listen to?? Another note, the ear holes were cut too big and now he's got bumps around his ears (where the helmet isn't covering). The orthotist said it would round out once the helmet was off. But, I don't trust anyone now who says " It'll round out on it's own. " I'm afraid it'll only get worse if we keep it on as the band is getting tighter now. Is it worth the risk? Who should we listen to? Any advice would be appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
