Just joined here and have a TON of questions!!!

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

Please forgive my lack of knowledge about, well, everything! I have 2 beautiful

boys: my

first is almost 3, and my second is a little over 3 months old.

My 3-month old has been a tummy sleeper from the get-go, and has always slept

wonderfully. Little did I know that would be a negative thing when DH and I

started to

notice his head shaping differently. I've been doing really basic research and

think that he

has developed positional scaphocephaly. The sides of his forehead have been

flattened,

and from above, his head isn't round, but rather almost almond-shaped. hope that

makes

sense.

I feel extremely guilty for just " dumping " him into the crib all this time while

chasing after

my toddler. We have an appointment with our pediatrician on Wednesday, but I

have a

feeling that she'll just recommend repositioning. My concern is that

repositioning may

overcompensate (we've already been trying to reposition and now see " dents " on

both

sides of the back of his head!)

Do I Just ask my pediatrician for a referral from the get-go? How do I go about

seeing if

our insurance will cover a band/helmet if that is the ultimate course?

Have any of you had luck WITHOUT using a band?

I'm sorry for all these basic questions but I'm so glad to find a forum like

this!
