Guest guest Posted July 23, 2004 Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 Hi Robyne, I'm glad is adjusting well! You are absolutely right in that the band will shift some. The more severe the headshape, the more " teetering " it will do. I posted a picture in my daughter's folder (Hannah from the day she got her band called " Gap " that gives a good visual of this. She has right sided plagio, so the band basically only touched securely in the bulging back left and front right, creating kind of a teetering effect. As they fill more of the band when their shape improves this will decrease. , mom to Hannah, DOCband #3 3/30 Cape Cod, Ma --- In Plagiocephaly , " robynecl " <jrsclower@a...> wrote: > is 7 months and we just got his band on today.

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2004 Report Share Posted July 24, 2004 Zander just got his band yesterday and his also shifts like you said 's does. I'm thinking it's normal, but I hope someone experienced will chime in. Good luck with everything! I'm glad to hear is doing well.

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2004 Report Share Posted July 25, 2004 Hi there My daughter was in a different band, but I do believe they all shift when they first get them, and after every adjustement. As long as he is adjusting well, and there are no redspots this is usually nothing to worry about. Sandy Willow's Mom Germany > > is 7 months and we just got his band on today.

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2004 Report Share Posted July 25, 2004 Robyne, That's wonderful news to hear that is adjusting very well to his DOCband, through his nap and everything else! Although I don't have personal experience with the band (we did repo-only for our daughter), I have read that slight tipping or shifting can be normal; I'll yield to the experts who have already replied to your post! Would you keep us updated on how 's rounding is coming along throughout his treatment?
