Guest guest Posted November 23, 2003 Report Share Posted November 23, 2003 Hey Sohnia! I have a local helmet, too, and am currently having fit problems. I also can't seem to get anyone to help me with it, whether the ortho or the dr. Also, my son who is 9 1/2 months old can take the stupid thing off completely, even with the chin strap on! So I have to call tomorrow and figure out what I could possibly do to stop this from happening, short of waking him up to put it on, I guess. I can definitely feel your pain right now! And I, too, feel like this is the beginning of the $1100 end!!!! julie in ky --- In Plagiocephaly , " Filyaw " <filyaw@b...> wrote: > Hi Sohnia, > Sorry to hear you are having problems.
