Guest guest Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 Wow - that's incredible progress. Congratulations - I can't really answer your question because we never got close to the plastic, but my understanding is that once the foam is gone then the band can no longer be used. Making rapid progress My daughter is 5 1/2 months old and has been wearing a DOC band for two weeks. We've seen significant improvement -- if you didn't know what to look for, her head looks normal at this point. We just went in yesterday for her second fitting, and they shaved her band down almost to the plastic in the growth areas. I was surprised that they've taken off so much so quickly. In your experience, does this mean that she won't have to wear it for much longer, or that she'll be wearing it for a while without additional growth adjustments? We were told 8-12 weeks at our evaluation appointment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
