Guest guest Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 , You stated that exercauser's are not very good for tort babies. I'm curious about that. I have not heard that and am wonderful if there is a reason that I should know about it. Thank you. <filyaw@...> wrote: Hi ,Kaitlyn is adorable (that name was on our short list). She has soo much hair. I see the brachy you are talking about. It's definitely not severe. It's probably around 2 standard deviations which is borderline banding - however I'm not very good at brachy assessments just my guess. Like said the daycare and tort factors may be your biggest push to get her banded young. Will daycare be able to do any of her tort streches or sit her in a exercauser or bumbo seat or make sure she gets tummy time? One of the mom's on here actually bought her daycare a bumbo seat. Granted exercausers and bumbos aren't best for tort babies but when they have plagio and brachy it's the lesser of 2 evils. Some moms have found their daycare providers to be very accomodating when they sat down and explained everything to them. I think we even have some "instruction" sheets in the files section.I don't think getting a professional evaluation (at an ortho not neuro) would be a waste of time. I think it would be very helpful. It takes awhile to get insurance stuff and if they said she was borderline give it another 2 months then you could always wait. My 2nd dd will go to CT for a consult on 10/24. She has tort and is probably very mild plagio but I need the peace of mind :)Do you know of any orthos in your area? Some Hanger and STARband orthos also provide free evaluations like CT does. Just ask.Keep us posted.

Guest guest Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 They aren't good because they don't help the baby hold their position correctly i.e. straight. They aren't the worse possible thing. I spoke with our ortho (from na) at CT. She said for 15 minutes or so, 2-3 times a day would be fine. However, we shouldn't use it all the time because Keirsten really needs tummy time and proepr strengthening and stretching of her neck. Does that make sense??
