Re: soft helmet - How do i get one?

[Guest guest]

Maybe I didn't say that right. They said they do not believe that

bands which apply pressure (like the DOC band) to a baby's skull is

the right therapy. They recommend the soft helmet to correct

plagiocephaly. And they say this on their website. However, as you

see on their website, they have a picture of a band which looks

similar to the DOC band. When I asked about that band, they said it

was a prototype and therefore unavailable. I forgot to ask the

doctor why they had a prototype of a hard band when their philosophy

is to not apply pressure. Maybe it works a different way. But I

will definetly ask at Ben's follow up appointment in late August.

I'll let you know what they say. They never said the DOC band was

experimental, just that they did not recommend bands which apply

pressure.
