Guest guest Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 Hi Everyone, I have just joined the group. I have a 5 months old son who has a flattened head at the back. We have been trying repositioning for the last three months but haven't noticed much improvement. We went to a specialist yesterday who advised us that 's head is moderate and it is a borderline case whether to get a helmet or not.. basically he said it is our decision. This has left us in a tough position as we don't want to do it unless necessary but if it is needed we are more than happy to put him in a helmet. I just wanted to know whether any other parents have had improvements without using the helmet and I would love to see some photos if possible. I'm also interested in hearing other peoples opinions about whether they think the helmets are helpful, useful etc. Thanks! Regards Liz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 I was in the same position you are in about a month and a half ago. My daughter was 6.5 months and was referred to a specialist for her Plagio. I cried at the thought of having her wear a helmet...we decided though that if it's something we can try to correct, why not try. She's been in it just over a month and you can already see a remarkable difference in that her head is becoming round all over! She doesn't mind wearing it at all. I would encourage you to give it a go--I don't think you'll be disappointed. Feel free to message me if you want to chat further about it... > > Hi Everyone, > > I have just joined the group.
