It is extremely hard to see my son cry, sometimes I want to cry with him. I agree with you about that we have to keep it on to reshape there heads. We are going to cranial tech today because this morning he had a red mark that didn't go away for hours. I hope your daughter slept better last night.

My 6 months old daughter is having the same situation. She cries every single night with her helmet on. I have talked to several doctors and Cranial Tech and their answer is "she needs to adjust to it". there is no other way except putting the helmet on for 23 hours. Hopefully, she will eventually get used to it. As a mom, it is hard to see my baby cry but I know I do not want to see her cry because of her headshape when she grows up. Let's hang in there...>> Hi everyone,> > My son is almost six months old and he got his Doc Band helmet this monday. It's been three nights and every single night he cries in his sleep. My son also has tort. and use to sleep facing to the left.

Since we got the helmet Monday he sleeps facing the right. It almost seems like he is having trouble moving his head to the center or to the left with the helmet on. My son has been in PT since he was two months old. His tort. has improved greatly and I feel like the helmet is hurting him or pinching him. When I spoke to the clinicians at Cranial Tech. in CT they told me that he has to get adjusted to it. My husband is home during the day and he tells me that when he takes his naps he doesn't cry at all. I am a first time mom and I don't know if this is due to the helmet or maybe he is teething or something unrelated. Has anyone else experienced this???? > > Also I was wondering if anyone else went to Cranial Technologies in Connecticut? ??? If so, what was your experience like.> > Thanks in advance.>
