fitting our newly adopted 13m old w/a helmet

[Guest guest]

We just brought our newly adopted son home from Guatemala about 5 wks

ago. I have been concerned about the shape of his head and after

seeing enough drs, we ended up at the orthodic place today. After

doing all the measurements, she said he was a 1/2 " off. It's not

terribly noticeable from the front but from other angles you can

definately tell. It's flatter on the left front and right rear sides

of his head. His head is better than it was when we were there to

visit last August and September. And it's of course doubtful that it

will improve any more w/o help. The orthodic people suggested we come

to this group for answers to some of our questions.

Has anyone else fitted their child around this age? What kind of

results did you get?

We have two other boys, but I've never had any experience w/this

before. So I'm really feeling kind of lost....thanks for your help!
