How effective is repositioning?/When to consider a helmet?

[Guest guest]

Hi,

My daughter is 4 months old and has plagiocephaly. We noticed the

flattening on the right side at 8 weeks and our pediatrician referred us to a

physical therapist to try repositioning techniques. Her initial measurement at

three months was 6 mm and when she was remeasured last week it was still 6mm, so

it has not gotten worse but not really better either. She really dislikes tummy

time, but we suffer through it 3 times a day for about 10 minutes, which seems

to be her max:-)I keep her off the back of her head as much as possible and

reposition her to her side throughout the night. The PT is sort of vague about

what the next step will be if she doesn't improve. If anyone would be willing to

share their expereinces I would really appreciate it! Since her case is in the

mild range would she be a canidate for a helmet or banding? Any suggestions on

how to make tummytime more enjoyable for her? I'm a new mom and don't know

anyone else who has dealt with this issue!

Thanks,

Amy
