Guest guest Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 We took our son to see the specialist around 5 1/2 months of age (after waiting 2 months for the appointment). He said that it may get better on it's own and that we had a window of about 4 - 6 weeks to see if it got better. He was a believer that treatment has to start before 8 months of age to see any improvement. Well, we waited and saw little improvement. After waiting almost another month for insurance approval and then another 2 weeks for a casting appointment (it's going to be on December 12th) and then another 2 weeks for the DOCBand to be made (fitting on December 23rd), my son is going to be just about 8 months when he is fitted. I say if you're even considering getting your child a helmet, start the process now and keep an eye on your son to see if he gets better in the meantime. Between insurance and trying to get appointments, the time passes really quickly!! I'm worried that we waited too long. - a > > > > Hi, > > I wrote a into a few weeks back. My daughter is 6 months.
