Re: Baby's head growing up instead of filling in?

[Guest guest]

There was a similar post. My son just got his helmet off a week and a half ago,

and I was starting to think the same thing before the exit appointment, but I

took the helmet off the night before the appointment to see what would happen

once the soft tissue started to " pop " back out. In the morning, it looked fine -

no more conehead! Hopefully that will reassure you. Congrats on finishing

treatment, btw!

this with a quick note: we use cranial tech and have been happy with that

decision- we have found the techs to be knowledgeable and have been happy with

our decision and the progress that has been made. I do have a concern that I

would like opinions on- sometimes you start to worry that the things that you

see are just in your head

months, and she is now almost 6.5 months. We saw a lot of improvement, but I'm

worried in the last week or two that her head has become narrower because she's

outgrowing the band. The tech that we see mentioned that this could happen, and

we needed to be aware of any pressure spots (redness that did not fade within an

hour). She has had a pressure spot on her forehead each time that we've removed

the helmet, but it's usually gone within 30-45 minutes.

that this is the case- that it was probably a soft tissue issue and that as her

head adjusted to not having a helmet on it, it would look fuller. We have an

exit appointment tomorrow, where I think we will find out more.

figure out if this is in my head or what. Please look at the pictures and let

me know what your opinions are- they are under " Our Plagio Babies- E " and at the

very end of the album- I have labeled them so that the progression is clear:

today, last week, three weeks ago. Thanks, I appreciate it!

I think it was my post- I had basically the same question! I've seen the same

concerns on the Babycenter plagio group site. But, since I wrote, I've been

watching my daughter's head and I really haven't seen any problems. She's still

in the band, but everything seems to be working out so far. Hope it turns out

ok for you!
