Re: Plagio Head...

[Guest guest]

In my opinion, even if given the option to do night wear only I

would NOT do that. The reason for this is that the head is

constantly growing and you want all growth to be during the time in

the band otherwise the head will continue to grow in the 'wrong'

direction.

PS: The more consistant you are with 23 hours/7 days a week the

quicker you will see results and the quicker you will be able to

kiss your little 'naked noggin.'

Tummy time doesn't have to be on the floor...look at the Tummy time

brochure on the Cranial Technologies website.
