My son has brachy and got his DOC band a week ago; he's 10 months old. He is

slightly behind on some physical stuff. He crawls backward and sideways and

rolls all around, but not forward. He doesn't pull himself up. He sits very

well, but doesn't get into sit from laying down. He does babble a lot and claps

and waves and mocks us. I'm just hoping it's just a delay and he'll catch up

with no lasting effects later. I just feel so bad. We tried to turn his head

when he was younger, but he always ended up sleeping straight back on his head.

I wish pediatrician's educated people more about this from early on. My ped

never seemed all that concern, just said it should start rounding out and then

finally sent us at 9 months. Just venting I guess! Thanks for listening.
