Re: Problems with Doc-band

[Guest guest]

Hi Zofia,

Which Cranial Technologies location are you going to for your docband? Just asking because my son is supposed to be fitted next week.

My daughter has been wearing one for a month and this morning I noticed an indent on the top of her head above her forhead. One side of her skull now feels lower than the other. This is the spot where they have put the pressure point to hold back growth. This infuriates me as the band is suppose to help her head shape not create another area we need to fix.Our physiotherapist doesn't seem as knowledgeable as I thought she should be. She told me lots of babies get this from the band but after they stop wearing it the indent goes away. She has two months left to wear it! I have no faith in this therapist who first told me not to worry about it then called back to say maybe it should be checked to see if it's too tight in that spot. In addition, we had to have her shave the piece above her forehead because the band kept shifting down onto her nose leaving a mark. It still doesn't fit right and I'm always adjusting it so she can see. I think we have a ill fitting band. Is this normal? Does anyone else have problem with the band shifting or holding back growth so it leaves a noticeable imprint?ZofiaMarissa (1 yr old tomorrow) Doc-band 051117
