I figure, if this sheet can save even one family from having to shell out bucks, feel guilty, smell stinky-feet-smell on their baby's head, and generally deal with the hassle of banding, then I will feel good! I put the file called Info_on_Plagiocephaly.pdf in the files section, and would love any feedback, additions, or things I should leave out. Oh, and I put a couple of pics of my cutie in the photos section (Plagio babies V-Z), labeled Zach D. Thanks!! -Pam

Your info sheet looks great to me. Zach is a cutie...he is a really

smart baby to be able to pick out such cute stickers for his

helmet.
