Questions about plagio improvement in older babies

[Guest guest]

Hi,

Has anyone been in the helmet when the soft spot closed? Did the rate

of improvement slow down once the soft spot closed? I'm feeling

anxious because 's remaining soft spot closed recently. :|(

Also, over the past couple months, the bottom half of 's head

improved. To me, the bottom half looks pretty close to normal. So,

this is great! However, the top part has not improved as much and it

bothers me. Since the soft spot just closed, I'm feeling anxious that

the top part won't ever improve much. My husband's theory is that

's head is improving from the bottom up and now that the bottom

part filled in the top part will follow. Has this happened to anyone?

From what direction would a flat area on the upper back right fill in

from?

Another thing is 's read got smoother on the right side. However,

now that I got used to the current state, the bulge is bothering me

again. In theory, I think it still should be possible to slowly move

the parietal/temporal bones back. Anyone know about this? And over

how long a period would it take for this to happen? We still go for

the alternative treatments.

It feels like I'll be treating 's head for a long time to come.

Hopefully, it continues to pay off. I'm just really nervous about the

soft spot closing. 's chiropractor says his head still moves well,

but that the closing of the soft spot is an indication that the sutures

will close more soon.

Thanks in advance,
