Danmar helmet

[Guest guest]

Hello All,

I have a very important question. My son is in a Danmar helmut for

brachy, which he has had for one month. He is 8 mos old. My question

is I get the feeling from this site that the Danmar helmet may not be

as effective as other bands. I feel quite troubled and do not know if

I should have my son re-evaluated by Cranial Technologies. Any

responses are greatly appreciated.

I just wanted to post an update. Bradley received his helmet on

12/4/06 and we just took him for his 2 month follow-up appointment

on 2/8/07 with the cranial facial surgeon and she said he was done

with the helmet! He only had to wear it for 2 months!!! We are so

excited!!! We do plan for him to wear it at night for another month

because he still has room in it. My ds turned 9 months old on

2/8/07 and we are hoping there is no regression!!!

Do a lot of people notice that once their child is out of their

helmets that they still worry about plagio? I'm wondering when the

day will come where I'm not staring at every angle of his head

trying to make sure it looks 'ok'.
