repositioning Niels

[Guest guest]

Hi,

This list is so helpfull to me. I am now agressively repositioning

Niels and hope I'll get to see some result soon. I've found many

handy tips which I'm using. I sewed three receiving rolled up towels

onto his PJ's and it works better than just put something behind his

back. I sometimes put a travel blow up pillow behind his head and

let him sit in the saucer a lot. I also carry him everywhere and

have enough tummy time a day. Unfortunately his twin brother gets

much less attention lately. I am paranoid about his head shape and

keep feeling the shape of it at night or any given time, I am

kissing it and wishing for it to round out, even if it were just a

little bit. I really hope repo is going to work for us since over

here there's nothing else available. I am seeing a pediatrician next

week and will demand from him that he does some researching, will

give him this website. I also ordered the bumbo baby seat, can't

wait for it to arrive. My mum is sending me a sleep positioner and

neckpillow. Poor Niels doesn't know what hit him, all of a sudden no

more back time and he's not happy about it at all.

I wish there were more success repo stories on this list, then again

I guess I have to be more patient and keep trying, I'm sure some

rounding will come from it. Not ready to post pictures yet, I am

still a bit too embarassed for that.

Kind regards,

Sofie

Sofie,

I am so glad you posted! I have been thinking of you and Niels

since your last post. I looked and looked on the internet for any

plagio or brachy information in the Dubai, UAE area, and could find

nothing, I'm sorry! It's still possible that the pediatrician might

know of helmets available over there; if you find out at your next

appt., would you please let us know so that I could add it to the

HELMET/BAND DATABASE? I couldn't even begin to guess what the

nearest country would be that you would have to travel to for

cranial molding helmets and bands, I'm so sorry. I only know about

Dr. Blecher's treatment in England/Germany/Switzerland. Not a long

time ago, we had a parent join from Malta, who had no options

either - there were no helmets for plagio available in her country,

so she was going to just reposition her baby as best she could, just

as you are doing!

I am so glad that you have found some helpful posts and info for

aggressive repo here at the group. I admire you for being so

dedicated to repo with twins, nonetheless!! I hope the Bumbo and

the sleep positioner your mom is sending will be of help. Repo CAN

work! Even a little bit of rounding makes a BIG difference in how

the baby's head appears, so I am keeping my fingers crossed for you

and Niels! Just like CJ who posts appeared a little while ago with

a memory foam update, it may take several weeks before you start to

notice a change.

Would you keep in touch on how things are going with you all?

Take care,

Christie (Mom to Repo'd Remy)

Hi Sofie,

I'm glad you find the group helpful! :-)

Please don't be embarrassed to post pictures of Niels. There isn't

anything to be embarrassed about, his plagio isn't your fault.

Please let us know when you receive your Bumbo and what you think of

it. Good luck repoing and please keep us posted on Niel's progress.

Hi Sofie,

It's unfortunate that you have no alternatives other than

repositioning to help your son, but I think you're a terrific mom

(mum) to jump into repositioning right away like you have.

Ours is not a success story yet, but I posted some pictures I took

this morning for you to see. They are in the repo photo file under

P. We've been repositioning him for 3 months. We began in late

November just after he turned 4 months old. I think we've made good

progress so far!

While it is a long, hard road, please know that you are not alone.

There are many of us out there! I can relate to you kissing and

feeling Niels' head. Sometimes I find myself looking at as if

he were under a microscope. I don't want my paranoia to rub off on

him, so I have to be careful he doesn't notice his head obsessed mom!

Good luck with your repositioning efforts. Please keep us posted!

(currently repo'ing 7 month old )
