Guest guest Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 I noticed my daughters head was distinctly flat at her 2 month appt - pedi told us to wait until her 4 month that it was normal - at her 4 month appt I still was worried about it. He said it was moderately flat compared to most the babies he sees and sent us to a neurologist just for peace of mind. We were lucky and were able to get an appt the next week. We went to see a neurologist who did not measure or anything just felt our daughters head, ordered and X ray and told us it was positional plagio that would correct itself?? I left feeling so lost and a little more confused then when I got there. My daughters head is definately flat on one side (her photo is under M for Madison in the photo gallery) and I guess I just can't believe that her head will reshape on its own. She is only 4 months old so I felt like we were catching it at the most crucial time for the band to work. We have a follow up with the neurologist in March but she will be 6 1/2 months by then. And he said that the band was purely cosmetic anyway so insurance would not cover it. How do you go about getting a 2nd opinion? Should I call our pedi again?? I hear everyone talking about the orthotist being the crucial one, so how do you find an orthotist in the area? I live near Memphis, TN if anyone has any recomendations on where we should go. Thanks, - mom to Madison 4.5 months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
