Guest guest Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 , I was waiting to see age before I replied. Does this specialist remember that babies do alot of teething at this age? Does he remember that this winter has been one full of colds, and viruses and most babies have been sick. At ten months no head growth for one month is not that big a deal. Especially since the measurements they do are not that precise as to catch the tiny amount of growth that probably did occur in between colds and teething and all the things that slow down growth on an off, growth that is already slower at ten months of age. I wouldn't get too upset, some " specialists " are just like this and we are all supposed to just put up with them and believe everything they say. I would talk with CT and maybe they can help him understand and provide him with the studies that prove the Doc bands do not inhibit normal cranial growth.
