Re: Hello, I am new and need help

January 19, 2010

Hey Winnie,

I live in Manhattan and my son received a STARband from Arimed. If you decide

to go there, try to get all your appointments with Bob, not Mohammed.

I have heard Rochelle Silberman at KidiSplint in Brooklyn has a good reputation.

If you have a source of transportation, Cranial Tech in Paramus, NJ is a 25

minute drive from Midtown. I would highly recommend them. My son received his

second band there.

Please let me know if you need any other help. It was so strange that I never

saw ANY kids in NYC with helmets during the 5 months my son had one on. No one

was ever rude, but the stares and double takes got to be pretty funny after a

while.

It sounds like your daughter may have scaphy. I've only read that back sleeping

can help.

Luke, 14 months

pediatrician told us at her 4 and 6 month checkup that she has a " pre-mie head " .

She is a stomach sleeper so her left and her right are equally flat and her head

is really long.

sleeping in the stroller or in the baby carrier. The only way she will fall

asleep is on her tummy.
