Guest guest Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 HI.... I'm a new mom and after being concerned about the flatness of our son's head, the pediatrician sent us for a CT scan. When he got the results he said we should see a neurosurgeon at s Hopkins for cranial synostosis. The neurosurgeon denied that diagnosis and said it was definitely plagiocephaly. He sent us to the Star center where our son was scanned. We go back in 2 weeks for him to be fitted and start wearing it for 3 months. He is 4 months old. For those of you who have been through this....is it really difficult? Will his hair growth be stunted? Please give it to me straight some basic ups and downs you have experienced. While I am extremely grateful he didn't need surgery, this little helmet could make for a very long 3 months and I worry about his normal development.
