Guest guest Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 We have been in our Hanger band for 12 weeks now. Other than the original fit adjustments we have had no adjustments made to her helmet. We are not having any problems with red spots or anything. I am just wondering if this is normal? I keep reading that a good orthotist is so important and I feel like ours is good but he really hasn't done anything so... Thanks for any input! mom to Emma, 9 mos 12 weeks in Hanger band Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 We're in the opposite boat... and I'm starting to wonder. We are in our 4th week with the Starband and it seems like we are at the ortotist's office twice a week, like he can't get it right... We are always having new red spots that require adjustment... AND the orthotist had to add a piece above the ear cut-out because he had originally cut it too far, causing a very visible dent in baby's skull just above his ear. Has anyone ever heard of that?

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 Usually adjustments are made ever 2-3 weeks depending on the age of the baby. My baby was 9 months when banded with a STARband. She went every 2 weeks for a littlle bit and then it was every 3 weeks. Are you seeing good correction?
