choosing not to use helmet or band

[Guest guest]

I would like to hear from anyone who has had an infant with mild/mod positional

plagiocephaly and torticollis who chose not to do the helmet or remodeling.

Specifically, after repositioning and infant learning to sit up, rollover etc,

did you feel their head to resolve or at least to a point that it was mild? if

so how long did this take? 2 years? or did you regret not doing the orthotic

therapy. We have a 7 month old that helmet clinic told us " well,hmmm...guess i

would do it if you are going to worry about him getting teased " with no

" technical measurements of head " just eyeball and experience looking at kids

with plagiocephaly. A neurosurgoeon whom I work with (and does surgical cranial

remodeling) and our pediatrician both think he will be fine without it. We know

it's best to treat young with helmet and we just don't want to miss the window

of treatment. Obviously not much data out there about people who choose not to

treat. Any help/comments would be appreciated.
