Re: so focused on flat heads

[Guest guest]

I read your posting about your neighbor. Don't stop talking to her, although

you may not want to confront her directly, continuing to talk to her and share

your success will hopefully at least encourage her to ask her doctor about it.

Good luck.

> Hi, I realized since my son got his helmet 6 weeks ago, I am not stopping to

observe all babies heads. Wherever I go I just see slight flat heads. I dont

know if something is wrong with my eyes.

> I have a neighbor who is very sensitive and whenever we sit out she asks me

questions about my son's helmet. I give her all the info I know, and always tell

her how happy I am that i did the helmet early. Her baby is 12 months old and

has a really bad bad flat head. He looks terrible. I guess she doesnt want to

see it. I feel so bad for her whenever she talks about my sons helmet. I cant

tell her anything cause she will get insulted. She had her baby in the 32nd week

premature and had a lot of trouble with herself after that. Before the baby was

born she lay in the hospital for 8 weeks bedrest. She has a handful of children.

She has been pretty busy with herself and her family. She has had a surgery

herself not long ago. I just feel that she couldnt take another burden on her

head knowing that her baby will need to wear a helmet. She is a very complexed

person herself, It would be very tough for her to walk around with a baby in a

helmet. The baby is big and doesnt look like he was born premature.. Anyway

there is nothing to do, I just wanted to share this story with you.

Hi Miriam, I look at every single baby and child's head now and see that most

have a flat spot. I even look at adults with no hair or thinning hair and

notice flat spots and say to myself that I would never have seen it if I wasn't

looking for it. I wonder if I'll ever stop looking:)

Your neighbor might be consciously or maybe subconsciously trying to get you to

talk about her son's head. Totally guessing, but she may be angling to get you

to comment on her son's head ( " he has a great looking head " or " maybe you should

look into banding " ). It's kind of like she wants confirmation that her son

looks okay or on the flip side, she may need to do something about his flat

head.

I'm completely speculating because I don't know the exact conversations you are

having with her, but I would talk to her about it whenever she brings it up. It

sounds like she has her hands full, so sensitivity is definitely key.
