Re: Cranial Cap

[Guest guest]

I just joined this group. My first son Colin had a cranio cap from

Gilette Childrens in Minnetonka. Our second son is developing a flat

spot as well so I joined this group while I decide if I should have

him banded or not. I'd be willing to discuss my experiences with the

cranio cap/gilette's. I don't have bad things to say about them but

if we do band son #2 I plan to take him to Tandem Orthotics in St

Cloud. I took Colin there for a free follow up consultation after

he was out of his cranio cap and I wasn't completely happy with the

results (he had severe plagio by the time we got referred by our

ped). Neither the dr I met with at Tandem or Dr Wood at Childrens

felt comfortable putting him in another cap/band but I liked the dr

in St Cloud so much better--she had a better " bedside " manner I felt

although in general I was happy with Gilette.
