Repositioning still necessary with DOC band?

[Guest guest]

Hi,

My 6.5 month old daughter is being fitted with her DOC band in a few

days. She has a strong preference for sleeping on her back which has contributed

to her brachycephaly (she has mild plagio but brachy is the main concern). I

have used repositioning techniques since whe was 4 months but we have only seen

a little improvement. I'm curious if people in the group think it is necessary

to continue trying to move her off her bacck during the night once she has the

band. During the day, it is getting easier now that she sits up. Thanks so much

for any advice!

My son has had his DOC band for 5 weeks now, and we haven't been concerned with

repositioning since he got it. In fact, it has been a major relief to not have

to worry about it! We have had to continue neck stretches (which he hates) due

to mild torticollis. Hope this helps! Good luck with the band!
