I just read it tonight. I was disappointed that the author stated that

plagio is mainly a cosmetic issue. Otherwise, the article was OK. It is

hard to write a great article while being limited to one page (the AAP

column is always only 1 page). I think I am going to write a letter to the

editor addressing the " cosmetic issue " comment since I think that is exactly

the kind of rhetoric that the insurance industry is hanging their hats on.

And for good measure I think I will throw in my professional credentials

(pediatric nurse practitioner).

" Flat Spot " article in Baby Talk Magazine Feb. Issue

Did anyone read the article in Baby Talk Magazine (Feb. Issue, page

20) titled, " Help, my baby's head is flat " written by the president of

the American Academy of Pediatrics? If so, what did you think?

That's exactly how I felt too .

I was in tears when I read that " this is usually cosmetic " ..right, I

chose to spend $6000 (that UHC did not pay a penny for) on 2 helmets

because I thought didn't look perfect! Ugghh! And, did you

notice the author did not mention the term Plagiocephaly or explain

that this could also be caused by interuterine constriction (our

case)?

I know, they are limited, but I felt like it was just not enough

info.

I read this a couple of days ago in the magazine. I was disappointed also about them stating it was cosmetic only. It was nice that an article was in the magazine though. I wish they would go more into about what happens if not resoolved though. So many people are in the dark about helments and such.

I was at the Pediatrician's today and saw the article. I have to

agree with everyone. Cosmetic, I don't think so! They'll be

getting a letter from me as well.
