Re: Advice please... DOC band or not for 12 month old

[Guest guest]

Sorry to hear you're still struggling with this. Banding at 1 year can

definitely help. I think Cranial Tech has a lot of patients start at

that age and do well, including one of the other moderators 's

son. He started at 17 mo and did very well. I would recommend it if

your son is at 15 mm. I think it will be worth it.
