Re: UGH! Top Specialist (Dr Vacari in IL) says no band needed but I STILL think

[Guest guest]

Dr. Vacari IS a Pediatric Cranio specialist! LOL! Maybe it's just me

(this is all I hear from friends and family). Maybe it's b/c my older

DD has a perfectly round head and that's what I'm used to seeing??!

I'll get some pictures of her in the bath tonight and get some

feedback - that sounds like a great idea.

Her numbers were great from the scan. And when I look at the little

outline of the shape of her head from the scan it does look great but

when I look at it live, in person - it just doesn't look that good.

I'll post pics tonight. Thank you so much for your support! What a

great group to have to turn to!
