Guest guest Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 Hi Everyone, This is my first post on this group so please bare with me. My son is now 9 months old and he has a slight flat spot on the side of his. Our Dr said not to worry about it when we first noticed it around 4-5 months. I eventually convinced him to get us to a specialist to look at getting him a helmet. Unfortunately through a series of miscommunications, we didn't get an appt then the helmet until about a week ago. My son is obviously not liking this so we're having trouble getting him to wear it for long periods of time. Maybe around 1-2 hours a day and now striving for 4-5+. My question is does anyone think this will benefit him? It's fairly late in the game to be wearing the helmet plus the trouble we're having with getting him to adjust to it. One thing the specialist mentioned was that there really isn't any hard proof of how long you need to wear the helmet to have it be effective. They simply suggest 18-21 hours because it provides the best chance. Thanks in advance to everyone who responds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
