[Guest guest]

If it was me, I would try to get him to sleep off the head -side or

tummy. He is old enough fro tummy.

Kimmy:

Congrads to Jake first & foremost. How long was he banded??

I've been around the group 3.5+ yrs

and have only heard of a few regression cases that I can remember. I

think I've heard the odds of regression are like 1% or less. I think

I'd still reposition Jake as much as you can being so young still.

Like you said, he's still young & his skull is still quite malleable,

it's better to be safe than sorry & keep him off the same spot for

extended periods of time.

Hi,

I also have heard regression is rare, but we have read posts about

it on occasion. Because we were able to see some really great

correction from repositioning in our daughter Remy from 5 to 7

months, I guess the skull is still maleable at that age. It

probably depends on whether or not Jake still has any remaining flat

area that his head is now repeatedly settling on when he is sleeping

on his back (if he still does) or if he spends alot of time in the

carseat for long commute with his head position on any remaining

post-treatment flat area, or things like that. How would you say

Jake's headshape is since graduation? Since the longest, sustained

head position period is at nighttime, I would try and work in some

nighttime repo if possible. Unless you spend an inordinate amount

of time with Jake in the carseat, I wouldn't do anything drastic

there, just make sure he moves his head about in different positions

with toys placed on alternating sides of the carseat, etc. Would

you say he is up and about with tummy time during the day?

I don't think you'd need to go repo overboard, but a little

precautionary head rotation here and there might be a good idea!

Take care,

Christie (Mom to Repo'd Remy)

Hello Kimmy

Congrats to Jake. )

I would probably reposition him for the next few months till his

skull is a bit harder. Like all the other replies already stated

our doctor told us as well that he had no regression case yet, so I

assume this is a very rare thing. Let us know what you decide to do.
