When is the best time to start a band?

[Guest guest]

My son, , got his DOC Band from CT a week and a half ago, just before he

was 4 months old. He has severe plagiocephaly and asymmetry. We already see a

difference, plus we're working on his torticollis. The issue is really outside

influences making me doubt what we just paid for.

Insurance paid a little bit for the band and we're fine with what we paid, but I

worry that we jumped too early and should have waited til my son was spending

more time off his head. Have you had issues with getting a helmet too early?

Am I going to regret this decision? The pedi thinks 4-6 months is the best time

to have a band done since the skull is growing so fast, but then I have a gal on

a chat board who seems to like to sling pointed jabs (her daughter has brachy

and she does not want to get a helmet, saying they're only for " cosmetic "

reasons) and says she went to a cranio-surgeon or something and they recommend

waiting til 6 months, that Cranial Technologies is only out for the money, blah

blah blah.

Can any of you make me feel better about my decision??

thank you so much, I am SO glad this group exists.
