Re: Help. my 16-month old keeps removing her helmet.

I have read posts where mothers put duct tape over the velco opening so the babies can not get the helmet off. It was a great idea and the parents who did this claimed it worked like a charm. Try it. I guess you just have to find a way to peel it off to clean it and them reapply a new piece of tape. Tammy

Hi, anyone with older babies who had treatment have any advice onkeeping the helmet on? My daughter is 16 months plus now and we'rehaving a hard time to keep her helmet on especially when she'ssleeping. She just yanks it off 15 minutes after we put it on her.When she's awake, we can make her wear it but we have to keep herdistracted or occupied for her not to remember the helmet, whichusually means going out. She was good at wearing it the first fewweeks, now it's getting more difficult. She now had it for a month.For those who had older babies like mine, when did you start noticingany change on the head shape of your kids after getting the helmet? Iknow it takes longer for older kids, so i'm wondering what yourexperiences are..Tips anyone?Chris
