Guest guest Posted May 2, 2000 Report Share Posted May 2, 2000 Tammy- Cranial Tech has a pymnt plan for families that don't have insurance or whose insurance won't pay. You make a down payment of $600 and then $475 a month until all is paid. Tanda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 22, 2000 Report Share Posted May 22, 2000 Hi ! Your son will adjust to it and in one or two days, hewon't smell and sweat as much. My daughter's doc warned me about it and told me it will go away and that her body will adjust and won't perspire so much. A few days after she was fitted with the helmet, we went to Brazil. It was REALLY hot and she did fine. Also my orthoist told me to have her wearing a hat (oversized for her age) during the summer.

Guest guest Posted May 22, 2000 Report Share Posted May 22, 2000 Help!!!!!! Have any of you had problems with the helmet smelling from your child's perspiration? Last Friday, my 5 1/2 month old son started wearing the unit and I can't take the smell. He's suppose to wear it 24/7. However, I have been giving him 2 hour breaks in between washing his head to air out. Heck, we haven't even reached the summer months living in NJ. Any advise would be helpful! - New Jersey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 22, 2000 Report Share Posted May 22, 2000 , Use alcohol to clean it out (that will get most of the smell), then sit the helmet out in the morning sun (upside down) for about an hour. It really works. I don't think you'll ever get it smelling like roses, but the sun does help a lot. Don't use any sort of cleaner as this may burn your baby's skin!!

Guest guest Posted May 22, 2000 Report Share Posted May 22, 2000 Hi well my son is 8 months now when he first started wearing his helmet it had a fowl smell but that was in the begining and the more i washed his head the more I smell it so now i just clean out his helmet and wash his head every other day and he has gotten use to the helmet and for some reason i guess his head got use to having the helmet on because now he has no smell to it. Hope this helps you and puts you a little at eas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 22, 2000 Report Share Posted May 22, 2000 I've heard on this site that there is an adjustment period that the baby may sweat more at first and this may pass. -----Original Message----- From: jennifer_diaz-schloesser@... <jennifer_diaz-schloesser@...> Plagiocephalyegroups <Plagiocephalyegroups> Date: Monday, May 22, 2000 6:18 AM Subject: Re: Helmet > > >Help!!!!!!

Someone had suggested adhesive remover wipes. I would say it has helped a great deal. I bought Uni-Solve wipes. I found them at a medical supply store. You just need to be cautious. This will cause helmet/band to unglue around the seams. Belinda (Indiana) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
