Re: 9 month girl with Brachycephaly

[Guest guest]

Have you had any measurements taken? What do you want/ think you need to do?

My daughter is 8 mths with brachy of 92 and I am going to have her in a helmet

ev3en though the Drs discouraged me. I want her to have an oval a shaped head

as it can be. Esp so she won't look funny in braids or whatever. Her max width

is right above the ears and I think it has a bit of a jack nicholson look

which I just can't stand.

What do your drs say?

Good luck EL

We have an appointment with the Dr. next month.It's a specialist and we have to

wait. My daughter's ped never think her head shape is bad, so he never gave us

any advice. I asked the nurse in the community center and she think it's a

problem and gave us a referral.

I just wondering is there any other way I can do to improve her situation except

the hamlet? If we chose the hamlet, probable when we get it, my daughter will be

turning 11 month, is that too late? During these time what can I do?

Thanks for you reply!

keep repositioning her head so she is not flat on it. I wake up several times

in the night to check and have tried to figure out ways to get her from going

back to the flat face totally up position. Sometimes she rolls to her belly and

my ped said it was alright to leave her if she rolls herself. Also as much tummy

time and sitting as you can do. As little time in a car seat as possible. Also

cranial sacral terapy has been recommended to me and I am trying to find one.

Chiropractors also have benefitted some people. I also masage her head while I

am holding her.

Wish I knew more I'd rather not have the helmet but when I look at the

difference of Sydney M in the photos I am sure it is the right thing for my

daughter in the long run.

I worry about helmets later not protecting the frontal lobe as they should

because the foam will need to take up so much space at the front. Anyway I

don't want her to ask me why did you not fix this?? I am trying to post pics

do you have any?
