Advice needed- 13mth old boy keeps removing his helmet .

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

My son just started to wear the helmet one mth ago , he is now 13mths old.

He perspires alot when he is with the helmet.

He will remove the helmet in less than 5 minutes. pls help to advise how can we ve him

wear the helmet for longer period. He has plagiocephaly .

Thank u very much for any advice on the abv.

If he can take it off it's probably a bad fit and you should tell his ortho. The sweating should stop. If I'm not washing her hair right away I will take a baby wet wipe to her head. Make sure his head and the helmet is completely dry and clean when you put the helmet back on. You may have to dress him cooler.From: Lay Keow Teu <daphneteu@...>To:

I've heard putting a barrette on the velcro helps so they can't open it. I would

also recommend lots of distraction with a new toy or a favorite activity when

you first put it on. The sweating improves a lot after about a week - but only

if they get used to wearing it :-)

Hello,It is not unusual for child your son's age to become adept at removing the helmet. Ask your ortho for suggestions, but unfortunately there may be little you can do once they discover how to remove the band.Good luck!-AmyFrom: critter lover <tinsel2003@...>Plagiocephaly Sent: Sat, February 5, 2011 5:44:39

Hi all,Thanks for the advice. Need to give him 100% attention. To put back the helmet once he removed. Hope he will get better.Sent from my iPhoneOn Feb 6, 2011, at 11:08 PM, Amy McGinnis <mcg_woo@...> wrote:
