Guest guest Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 Hi Milky How old is your son? Postband rounding is EXTREMELY rare so I would not count on it. If you aren't happy with his headshape yet, and he still has room in it, then I would tell them to leave him in it. I think you have valid concern.

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 If you aren't happy with it I'd definitly talk to them about it. You still have a perfectly good band you can use. Unless it has been outgrown of course. Haylee mom to andre doc band grad > > My orthotist called to say that I can discontinue the helmet, I am > excited but I don't see full improvement.

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 I havn't been there (yet) but after being on this board I would say that you don't want to stop if you are not happy. If the band fits you should keep him in it, either until you are happy or he outgrows it. There is a post on here now of a mommy who is upset after graduating 2 weeks ago for the same reason. You know what is best for your baby. Bobbi nathan 5 mos. plagio and tort PHX > My orthotist called to say that I can discontinue the helmet, I am > excited but I don't see full improvement.

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 Hi Milky, I just wanted to second everything Sandy and Haylee have already told you. > > My orthotist called to say that I can discontinue the helmet, I am > excited but I don't see full improvement.
