Re: [SPAM] Has anybody seen improvements towards the end of the time spent in the helmet?

Sometimes it takes a little longer to see more improvement with older babies. I wouldn't worry that the helmet isn't working. My son was 5 months when he got his DOC band and it took a full 12 weeks to correct his plagio.As long as you are seeign some improvement the helmet is working. Take Care.... Keep us posted

[sPAM] Has anybody seen improvements towards the end of the time spent in the helmet?

My daughter who is now almost 9 months old has been wearing her helmet for more than 6 weeks now and while we have been seeing some results, they are not as significant as we were hoping. Her head is rounding out some, but the flat spot is still clearly visible. Also, she has facial assymetries and I can't see any improvement in that so far. Especially her ears are still off by a lot and her cheeks are clearly different. She started out 10 mm assymetrie. She hasn't been scanned since then so I don't know if that number has gone down, but when they measure her head, the ortho always says that she is exactly on track and on the growth curve (which to me means that her head is growing, but her plagio is not getting much better).I have been reading a lot of posts about early improvements, babies who have the most improvement within the first few weeks or even days spent in the helmet. Has anybody seen a lot of improvement towards the end? She still has about 2 months left before she'll outgrow the helmet. We are very compliant with the wearing schedule so that she has the full benefit of the helmet and I don't know of anything else I could do to make sure she gets the best results. I guess, I am getting a little worried that the helmet is not really helping her.

Facial issues are the last to correct. The ears are the second to last to correct. You will love the results. Just keep plugging along.
