Guest guest Posted March 2, 2003 Report Share Posted March 2, 2003 someone mentioned earlier that their baby had a bulge around the area where the band velcro's together. the extra fluid has no where eles to go. maybe this is happening to your baby. is your baby sleeping well? maybe from restless sleep. just a theory. jen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2003 Report Share Posted March 2, 2003 Hi Amy & welcome to our group: Gee, that's a new one to me too actually. I can't remember hearing of that before. Are they like the tired looking bags under eyes? Glad to hear how well he's tolerating it well thus far. What type of helmet is he wearing? Hope those pouches go away soon!

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2003 Report Share Posted March 2, 2003 Debbie, Thanks. They look like regular pouches under the eyes, but they are smaller and located slightly outside and below. He is wearing an N-iC helmet. Supposedly it's common here in the NYC area. Have you heard of them? Amy > > > Hello everyone! > > > > > > We just got a helmet for our 6 month old.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2003 Report Share Posted March 2, 2003 Hi Amy, I too am in NY. I'm on Long Island. I looked into the N~IC band when this was all starting out for me. I believe I posted on here about it and since no one really knew anything about them I went with the DOCband. That was back in May-June. Did you see a pediatriac neurosurgeon in Manhattan? I took my daughter to see Dr. Wisoff in Manhattan for a second opinion. Where in the city are you located? > > > > Hello everyone! > > > > > > > > We just got a helmet for our 6 month old.

Jen, we experienced some swelling of the eye lids when was in his band- maybe that is a good theory with the pouches under the eyes? I would ask the ortho too.

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2003 Report Share Posted March 3, 2003 Hi Amy, and welcome to the group! I honestly can't say that I recall anyone saying that the eye pouches on their babies have gotten bigger. Just a thought, but do you think that the pouches only appear bigger because he's wearing the band? You know, like you are seeing less of his head, so that the features he does have now seem to stand out more or are exaggerated? Maybe give your ortho a call and see what their opinion on this is.

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2003 Report Share Posted March 3, 2003 Hi , We're in Manhattan. We went to see Dr Wisoff originally and he recomended the place we went to. I beleive it's called Hanger (it's in the same building as Dr Wisoff). I guess we did not do enough research, as we did not know we had a choice of which band to use...

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2003 Report Share Posted March 3, 2003 Niki, You may be right. We are paying much closer attention to everything now. Coulbe that we are overexamining.

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2003 Report Share Posted March 3, 2003 Hi Amy, What did you think of Dr. Wisoff? Yes, Hanger is in the same building as Dr. Wisoff. I'm sure you made the right decision. All that matters is that you see results. :-) Please keep us posted!! > > > > > > Hello everyone! > > > > > > > > > > > > We just got a helmet for our 6 month old.
