Re: Help! I'm lost. My baby is 7 months old and I don't KNOW if he has plagiocephaly

-You could call and asked to be put on the cancellation list. Also 8

months is definitely not to old. My daughter wore her band from age 9

to 12 months with wonderful results. She has pictures under STARband

and Jenna. Many babies older than a year have been banded and received

wonderful results. Have you checked out the before and after pictures?

Welcome,

I agree with Angie, the cancellation list is a great thing. Like Angie

also said we have many many babies here that have recieved great

correction at this age and older, so don't despair. Please keep us

posted on when you get in to see the second opinion doctor.

I don't think 8 months is too old to see correction. There are people

who have banded their babies when they were older than that. I think

that is just wrong for people to be making rude comments about your

son having a flat head. If you feel he would benefit from a band then

if I were you I would try to get a second opinion.

Hi. 8 months is not too late, but time is important. Where are you

lcoated? We may have some locals that could give some tips.

Our ped told us not to worry about it too. He finally reffered us to

the speicalist and then he was diagnosed as moderate to severe. He

got his doc band (helmet) when he was 14 months old and we are so glad

we did it. I would definitly mention to the doctor that people are

commenting on it. You didn't wait to long before starting treatment

but the sooner the better.
