Looking for support> trying to get dad to be ok with our son's getting a helmet.

[Guest guest]

Hi my son is almost 10 months old and we were just told today that helmet was a

good idea for him. He has a mild case of plagiocephaly. I feel happy that he

will get the shape of his head fixed. Maybe the frequent ear infections will

stop. His dad is having trouble adjusting to the fact his son will be wearing

the helmet. He feels that people will see his son as something is wrong with his

son. Even though his brain development is good and the case is considered mild,

he fears the view of the eyes of the public. I tried to get him to feel more

comfortable with the fact that there is a lady who will put stickers on it for

free. And we could make it Dallas Cowboys for football season coming up. He was

still bummed out for the baby though. And if any one can explain more about

cranial vault measurements and cephalic index. they sd his cranial vault is 14mm

normal is 3mm and cephalic index is 89% and normal for him is 78%
