Re: no head growth while wearing helmet.????

[Guest guest]

My daughter's been wearing a doc-band for 4 months this Friday.

We've seen changes in her head shape but when you measure her head

circumference she hasn't grown much at all. Maybe a few millimeters

at best. I don't know why your specialist would suggest taking off

the band. I hope someone else can shed light on that suggestion.
