Guest guest Posted January 22, 2002 Report Share Posted January 22, 2002 : OMG, what a brilliant idea!!!!!!! WOW....I am a TLC addict (Dating Stories crack me up). I watch A Personal Story all the time and cranio and/or plagio stories would be a perfect show for them to do. I love your idea. It would educate SO many parents out there who could be wondering about their baby's flattened head but haven't heard a word about it from a Dr. or anyone else. Terrific idea. Anyone in our group interested with a young enough baby to consider? Thanks Steph.
