Guest guest Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 Hi Val, I've actually taken Jaymin out lots with the helmet, but try to avoid it if possible. People have asked us questions like 'is it used for protection', or 'is he wearing it because it's cold outside?' or some people think that it's just merely for decoration. He actually had some bad eczema for a bit and believe it or not, i loved the helmet on him because it prevented him from stratching and his skin did get better. Imagine that!!! The sweating was pretty bad the first week we had the helmet on him, but, he also had a lot of hair. So, we cut his hair and it cut the sweating by 75%. Another mother whose daughter is in the helmet suggested using cornstarch on the helmet before putting it on, apparently it helps to slide it on and off. I haven't tried that yet. We see our orthotist once a month, his next checkup is Jan.26th, 2006. I think that they're great at sick kids, and our insurance covered the helmet by 80% so that was a bonus. How long does Mark have to wear the helmet for? Sharon > > > > > > > > My 1 y.o. son Mark got his helmet on December 30 at The > Hospital > > > for > > > > Sick Children in Toronto, Canada.
