Re: ANYONE IN CONNECTICUT USING THE DOC BAND?

August 8, 2005

Carol,

Check out www.bumboseat.com . It is a seat that a baby as young as

yours can sit on w/out putting any more pressure on the back of the

head to worsen the flatness. Here is the blurb from their website:

The Bumbo Seat is a snug and cozy environment for your baby. This

revolutionary infant chair is designed to fit a baby's posture.

Babies can sit upright in a Bumbo Seat as soon as they have head

control. More importantly, it helps them develop the trunk control

they need to sit up on their own. It is recommended by

pediatricians, orthopedists, and physical therapists so you know it

is good for your baby.
