can babies be yoo young for the helmet?

[Guest guest]

I really don't know much about this yet, and am freaking out a little

to be honest. I noticed only a few weeks after Delaney was born that

her head seemed flatter than normal, but I didn't think anything was

medically wrong. By about 6 weeks old, I realized that she always

tilts her head to one side. She is now 9 weeks, and her pedi just

referred me to Cranial Tech.

Now that I know what to look for, it's obvious that she has both

Plagiocephaly and torticollis. She has a really hard time turning her

head to the less-preferred side, and her ears are already starting to

misalign. Cranial Tech can't see us for a couple of more weeks, but I

haven't been told what I can do in the meantime (positioning??) and I

am afraid it will get worse.

Can 3 month old babies get helmets (I assume that is how old she will

be after consult, molding, etc)?

Can anyone give me an idea of what to expect when she gets a helmet?

Like will it take some time and frustration for her to get used to it?

Are they worn 24/7?
