Guest guest Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 So we went for our regular appt and they did a scan today. The results were awesome!! Our Ortho's goal is less that 3.5% and Bryce is at 4.1%. The Ortho said that we could be done today, if I was happy with the results. She stated that he had such a huge improvement and that we are really " nit picking " at this point. It is obviously the summer, in California and Bryce is really starting to notice the hemlet (tugging at the straps). I also think that his delay in crawling and lack of love for rolling is attributed to the helmet. So...what would you do? Second question is about regression. At this appt the Ortho started talking about Bryce sleeping on his tummy from now on. Bryce has been a back slepper with the whole SIDS thing and I honestly don't think that he is going to be on board for the sleeping on his tummy. Bryce is still not fond of the tummy-time, but he will do it. What do you all know about regression and what would you do in this senerio? If I put his to sleep on his back after he is done with the helmet, do i have to be stressed all over again about repositioning????? mom of Bryce, Plagio- Starband 8 weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 ,I've started sleeping my daughter on her side, in hopes she will roll to her tummy to sleep eventually. It is working so far - I've gone in two or three mornings this past week to find her content on her tummy. The Doc Band naturally lends itself to them sleeping with their heads to the side, but I'm not sure how your band works. And sorry, I have no idea about regression. I'd be interested to hear from others as well.Kindly,Sandymom to Lyla (7mo) 6 weeks in DocBandand Owen 4----- Original Message ----From: bryced2007 <reeby@...>Plagiocephaly Sent: Friday, July 18, 2008 7:24:16 PMSubject: What would you do and question about regression So we went for our regular appt and they did a scan today.

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 Hi - I think I would probably leave it on a little longer. If there's room in the band, I would want to get the most out of it and not question whether I stopped it too soon. I know how you feel though, I'm ready for Jake to be done, but I'm afraid to throw in the towel too early in case we miss a growth spurt or that last bit of correction that I'm looking for. If you're really happy with the way his head looks and would continue to be happy with it if there was no more natural correction as he got older, then graduate. But if you have any doubt that you're not totally ready to be done, I would stick with it a little bit longer. Regression only happens about 1% of the time. I was personally not comfortable about putting my babies to sleep on their tummies. Once they started rolling over in their sleep and doing it themselves, I was fine, but I would always put them to sleep on their backs. It might be that once Bryce does come out of the band, he'll start rolling over in his sleep on his own. But I would advise you to speak to your pediatrician first before tummy sleeping.

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 wow! I am so happy for you guys. With this heat I would be done if you are happy with his head shape. What would you do and question about regression So we went for our regular appt and they did a scan today. The results were awesome!! Our Ortho's goal is less that 3.5% and Bryce is at 4.1%.

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 Hi . I'm glad you've gotten such great improvement for bryce. I was looking at his pics again and from some it looks like he has some extra height and probably some brachy - do you know his cephalic index? If he does have some brachy that may also improve if you can keep the band on longer. Do you have any pics to post of his new and improved head? :-) -christine sydney 2.5 yrs starband grad <reeby@...> wrote: > > So we went for our regular appt and they did a scan today.
