Should I go forward with the helmet?

[Guest guest]

I went to the pre-screening today with the most experienced orthotist here in

Vancouver. He measured my twin boys' heads and told me that as 13+ months old

babies, my boys have bigger than normal heads. He showed me the head size chart

and pointed out that my babies heads are larger than 95% of the same aged

babies. Yes, they grew very fast in their first year and they are taller than a

lot of the 2 year old babies I've seen. The measures are 8mm and 1cm though.

The orthotist told me that since my babies have larger heads, which means they

may (or may not) grow slower in the next few months, but it could be generic too

(since I have big head =)especially when I was 1,2 year old) and they are

already quite old for helmets(>13.5months), I may see a very small result, plus

they may not tolerate the helmets as well as other younger babies. Actually one

of my little boys is so protective of his head that he hate people touch his

head. I am not sure if I should go ahead helmeting him. Is it worth trying to

lock him in something he'd hate and fight so much and may not see much of a

result for 6 months?

Any people with similar situations? Any comment is appreciated. Thank you!
