Re: any older babies with hanger helmet? Greetings ne

[Guest guest]

I think with CT (even if they are new) they are specifically trained

to work with babies and with the DOC band. I would think a new

person could be just as good as an experienced. I guess every ortho

has " their first baby. " I would maybe ask the ortho what their

training has been with what they are doing, or see how confident

they are to answer your questions. Good question though.

Hopefully, someone else has more insight into what " experienced "

means.
