,

Just wanted to welcome you to our group. I'm a brachy parent as

well and have been down the same road that you are on just a few

short months ago.

My son, , was born with a perfect head, but it gradually

flattened over the first few months of his life because of back

sleeping, overuse of bouncy seat and swing. After about four months

of agressive repositioning my husband and I decided to go with the

DOCband. We wanted to make sure his head was really going to round

out. Active bands seem to be the priciest, but really they do seem to

work the quickest. Well worth the investment!

There are quite a few UK members here and it looks like you've been

in touch with some already. Just wanted to say good luck with

everything. Toby is a cute little guy. I'm sure he'll do just fine

with the STARband.

Hi ,

Toby is so handsome. You will be glad in the future that you got him

a helmet. I also questioned having my daughter banded, but I didn't

want to regret not doing anything years down the road. Good luck to

both of you.
