Guest guest Posted September 14, 2004 Report Share Posted September 14, 2004 Hi Alison, I just checked out 's pictures. I have to agree with you. Has he been banded or are you just working on repositioning? There is obvious plagio there. It's so hard to hear, but I do agree with you that there hasn't been improvment. One thing is for sure, though...he's adorable!!!! ) Good luck!!! Jodie Mom to Jack, 11 mo.

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2004 Report Share Posted September 14, 2004 I'm sorry, I really can't tell if there has been change. Have you given yourself a deadline for repositioning?

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2004 Report Share Posted September 15, 2004 It's hard to tell with all that hair! I wish we had that problem! LOL Maybe try getting some pics right after his bath, when you can slick down his hair a bit. Are you taking progress pictures every week so you can compare them? I would recommend that, especially for repo'ing, but also if you are banding him. It's OK to be paranoid... I had that moment last week, and Abigail is set to graduate next week from the DOC Band (I even posted about it - definitely fanatic about headshapes these days!).

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2004 Report Share Posted September 15, 2004 Hi Alison, If you're repoing, you really need to be sure you're taking pictures from the same angle each time to accurately tell the difference. With being so young, you could probably use a Boppy pillow to lay him on w/his head slightly hanging over the back. Definitely wet down all his hair first too. You want to get both ears and the tip of his nose in the picture. If you check out our photos section in the before and after/DOCband/Hannah B you can see what I mean.

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2004 Report Share Posted September 16, 2004 Alison, can you give a little buzz cut? Only kidding!! LOL But wetting the hair would be good - the others gave you good advice. Chances are if you are aggressivley repo'ing, there is some progress. It's going to take a little longer than it would in a helmet but it definitely can help! Let us know if you post photos again. I think it's really great that you're taking pictures so that you can compare. Otherwise, with you seeing him everyday, you're going to panic like you are for no good reason.
