Any recomendations on a second DOC band?

[Guest guest]

My daughter is 9 months, 3 weeks old and had a DOC band until 9 months old. Her

head still seems very flat to me although there has been definite improvement

from the beginning. Her measurements at the end of the first DOC band only put

her at the very tail end of the bell curve of averages. The clinician said that

we might see about half again as much improvement with a second band but will

never see perfect which I understand and accept. Insurance will cover the second

band and my out of pocket cost will be $1000 (actually half that once her father

pays his half of the court ordered medical support).

I can't decide if her head really has that much flatness to it or if I have just

managed to train myself to see it well enough that now I can't ignore the

remaining flatness. My family says they can't see it but I think they are just

patronizing me. It also seems worse to me now then it did when she stopped the

first DOC band.

Also what if I pay for the helmet but my daughter has trouble adjusting to it?

She barely tolerated the first helmet and now I can't even get a warm winter hat

on her head. She'll tolerate a hooded sweatshirt but that's it.

Any advice would be welcome
