Definitely contact Cranial Technologies, as I said, most of the

clinics offer free evaluations, you don't need a referral or

anything. Give them a call on Monday and see when you can get an

appt., also verify that that clinic does do free evals..

They will give you their honest opinion of your daughter's severity -

they won't simply " sell " you their product.

Many pediatricians actually say that at or after 6 mos is when a

baby's head will start rounding on it's own, mainly becuz the baby is

now spending far less time on their back and w/o that constant

pressure, the head will " pop " back out into place.
