Re: Brachy babies: bossing over the ears?

July 4, 2006

Hi,

I just wanted to post to reply that yes, I did comment my daughter

Remy had/has those bumps over her ears. She was never banded, though,

only aggressively repositioned. I don't often see posts about these

lumps over the ears, but the ones I have read said that the bands

corrected these lumps nicely! I'd love to hear from other parents of

banded babies with brachy who had this same concern, and whether the

band addressed this.

Thank you for posting this excellent topic for discussion,

Take care,

Christie (Mom to Repo'd Remy)

I would also like to know if he bumps get corrected. My son gets

casted on Monday 7/10 and will get his helmet on 7/24. He also has

the bumps over each ear.
