Re: DO NOT UNDERSTAND MEASUREMENTS!

[Guest guest]

If these numbers are right his plagio was mild and i'm surprised he was banded.

I will say that the numbers don't say everything and each baby looks different.

However I haven't heard of anyone banding at 4.26 mm of asymmetry. My daughter

had brachy (flat in back, which is measured by the cephalic index). You child

had mild plagio, and from what you say is now in the normal range.

never really thought he needed it but my husband really wanted him to wear the

helmet because it looked like he had a slight case of plagiocephaly so I decided

to do it. These are my son's measurements after the last scan
