Re: [SPAM] How do you answer???

[Guest guest]

I had the same concerns when my son got his DOC band. He has a twin sister, but she only had a very light case of brachy, so there was no need to put her in a band. It took me a month to decorate his band, but with in that month, I only had a few people ask me why he was wearing it. I told them that his head was growing flat on the let side, so he needed to wear the helmet in order to help correct things and round out his head. After I started decorating his band, I got more complements then questions. Over all, people seemed more curious about the band and when I told them what it was for, they were very impressed that such a type of thing was out there.

Best of luck

[sPAM] How do you answer???

Hi Everyone,My twins are now 5 months old and one of them will be receiving their Hanger Cranial Band from Hanger Orthotics this coming Tuesday, July 1st. While I am glad that such treatment is available for plagiocephaly, I am a bit nervous when it comes to answering strangers as to why one of my twins has a "helmet" on his head. I am also worried about people staring, as that is only human nature when you see somthing out of the ordinary. How have all of you answered strangers questions when they ask or when they stare? What about when little kids stare, laugh and/or point at your child??Thank you in advance for your help.
