Dr. says research doesn't prove helmets work

[Guest guest]

Has anyone else run up against doctors who don't believe in helmets or bands?

I've now seen 2 that don't buy into them, but said they would write me a

prescription if it would make me feel better! I'm taking my baby to Cranial

Technologies, and both docs said that they would tell me he needs a helmet, but

that there is no proof that babies actually get better with a helmet/band vs. on

their own.

Look thru the before and after pics to SEE the results! :-)

CT does free evals so it's nothing to take your baby in and get an eval just to see how "off" your babies head is and if a band would even be needed.

OH - And it is ALL to common for drs to poo-poo the notion of plagio/banding. I had to fight to get my dd a band - she actually ended up with 2 - We used Hanger.

Keep being your babys voice!!!

HTH!
