Guest guest Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 Okay, on Monday night, after one week out of her helmet that she wore for six months, I noticed that 's head is looking a little flatter than it was when she got it off. She does still sleep on her back quite often (most of the time). My partner also said that she saw what could maybe be a little asymmetry. Is this possible for a toddler her age (approaching 21 months). Could I be imagining things? I decided not to take any chances so she wore it to bed last night and again tonight. I debated leaving it on her all day, but decided against it. I just don't want 6 months to be for nothing. Will this do any good if the helmet is only good for six months? I'm thinking that it'll at least keep the pressure off of the back of the head, but I'm not sure how well it does that after 6 months. I'm also thinking about calling our ortho, but I'm a little embarrased that I may be imagining things. The thing is that I'd been working on pulling together her before and after pictures and took lots of pictures to try and get the right view so I feel like I really knew what her head looked like. Now, it looks a little flatter. She still had a flat spot, but the area of the spot now looks like it has gotten larger. And, her hair isn't covering it up the way it was last week. Part of me wants to call up the CT in VA and beg then to put her in another helmet - not necessarily for more correction (although it would be a plus if it occurred), but so that she won't regress. I guess I'm kind of overreacting, but I am freaking out a little bit. I don't want to go back to her flat head. Any ideas would be appreciated. , mom to , 20.5 months STARband grad (05/11/09) land Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
