Re: Torn on Decision

I think that a lot of doctors won't tell you to band or not to band

because ultimately the decision is yours. If you ask, " if this was

your child would you band, why or why not? " then you may get better

insight into whether or not you should band BUT as I said in

another post if you aren't happy with the head shape now then I

would definitely consider banding regardless of the doctors.
