Helmet adjustment? How tight/loose should it be?

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

My daughter got her helmet last Friday. She

has taken to wearing it quite well. I am just a

little concerned about how it fits. It is a helmet

not a band. It seems to be coming down near her eyes

alot. When she lays on her back when sleeping it

really comes down on her forehead. I keep pushing it

back on her head. Is this normal. Usually when she

wakes up from sleeping she cries right away for me to

come and get her. This morning I heard her playing in

her crib and babbling to herself (it was cute, because

usually she doesn't do this). I went in to see what

was going on and what did I see? Her helmet was off

and she had her arm through the hole on the top and

was chewing on it. I did not think that she was

supposed to be able to take it off. I saw her

physical therapist today for her tort and she thought

the helmet needed adusting. When I first got her

helmet on Friday the orthodist said that there would

be some play to the helmet because of the flat spot on

her head. He assured me that in a couple of weeks her

head would grow and it would fit more snugly. I am

supposed to see him next Monday, but I'm wondering if

I should try and see him sooner. Anybody have any

suggestions? Thanks!

Helen and
