Flat spot caused by the helmet that not existed before the treatment

[Guest guest]

Hi,

My son is 10 months old and has severe brachy. He has been in the helmet for

about two months now. He got 1 cm growh at the back after 5 weeks. But last

week we noticed he has a flat spot right by the pressure point on his right

side. This flat spot was not there before the treatment. So it seems the

helmet is too tight and this is caused by the pressure point where the prominent

area was held. We asked our specialist about our concern. But he told us not

to worry and he will extend the grinding to this side the next appointment to

achieve a longer head at the end. And we asked whether we should make the helmet

a bit more loose and he said it's not necessary. Just put it on as we usually

do. My impression is that the flat spot area needs to be shaved out more so it

will not get worse. But the specialist is not concerned about it and our next

appointment is one week later. I'm just curious anyone has similar experience

like this?

Thanks,

Elaine
