Plus we're lucky we have these resources this day and age for our children! I can't wait to get my son's DOC Band on May 24.

My 11 month old son is in his last 2 weeks of wearing his band! He had flattening on one side of his head and now it looks perfect :)Yesterday, we were at IKEA when a woman in line in front of us asked why he was wearing a helmet. I explained. Then she shared that she wishes they had them 40 years ago because her brother has very noticeable flatness on one side of his head and he was always embarrassed by it. She was from the Philippines and she said that in school there, boys were required to have crew cuts. Her brother's head was so lopsided that his mom had to very carefully and artful cut his hair so it wasn't completely noticeable.I'm so glad I chose to band my son:) It's stories like this that confirm the value in banding, even if it is just "cosmetic".

Thanks for sharing that story! My husband has a cousin with a very flat head.

She has long hair, but it is still very noticeable. She said the same thing when

she found out about Caleb getting a helmet. She wishes there were bands when she

was a baby.
