Isolating infant from friends & family while banded

[Guest guest]

we haven't really told any of our friends and family that we're planning on

having our 6 mth old wear a helmet for the next 4 mths.

We'll take the kid outdoors, but we're thinking about not mentioning anything to

F & F about the Band. Not b/c we're ashamed (if anything I'm pissed off that no

one mentioned plagio when they insisted on the sleep to back thing).

No, we're worried that the kids of our F & F's may tease our kid about misshapen

head issues later. Hopefully after it's been corrected, no one will even notice

it. But a helmet could leave an indelible mark w/ F & F and they'll probably

mention it to their kids in passing.

Do any parents have any experience with this?
