(no subject) 3.5 mo with flat head...

[Guest guest]

I think you'll find most people here have a positive experience. My daughter

wore a starband starting at age 5 mo, and it was definitely a good choice. I

would suggest you look at your child's head from the top and try to see if is

just a flat spot on the right. Sometimes a different view helps you see more

asymmetry than when you look at your child daily. Take pictures and/or look at

him in the mirror to see if it is mild.

At 3.5 mo you have time to try to reposition him. Keep him from resting on the

flat spot as much as possible. Have him rest on the prominent side (should be

opposite the flat part). Use a baby carrier or bumbo chair and keep him out of

carseat (except while in the car), bouncer, swing etc. This is called

" repositioning " . There are repo tips in the files sections too.

right side of his head. It is not noticed by others unless I point it out. I am

on the fence regarding the band for treatment, especially because of the huge

expense. Does anyone have any positive or negative experiences with the band?
