My son's helmet is loose...

[Guest guest]

My son received his helmet the day he turned 8 months. Ever since, I

noticed the helmet was kind of loose. I assumed this was normal. I

went to my one month appt., and spoke to the orthotic and prostetic

lady that fitted him, I expressed my concerns towards the looseness

of the helmet, and she simply took the helmet back to her shop area

and for some reason added extra foam on the inside. I once again

assumed she knew what she was doing, so I took my baby home and after

setting him down to play, noticed that the helmet was even looser on

his head. To the point that it was rotating clockwise on his head,

also when he rolled over, the helmet would move up on his head and

cover his eyes. I quickly called the ortho lady and she had me bring

him in the next day. Once again she took the helmet back to the shop

and made some changes and provided me with a chin strap. I told her

that I was beginning to think there was a problem with the helmet and

that perhaps it wasn't properly fitted. Assuming she knew what she

was talking about, I took my baby home with his helmet and chin

strap, and sure enough he pulled it righ off. I decided to see if

the changes she made to the helmet had made a difference, but still

found the helmet to bee quite loose. Am I overreacting or should I

ask her to let me speak to her boss. I am so frustrated... today

Lincoln pulled the helmet right off his head for the first time, with

the velcro still perfectly sealed. I'm worried that he's not getting

the full benefit of the treatment, and fear that this precious time

we have during his skulls growth is slowly fading. All the other

children I have seen with helmets, wear their helmets nice and snug;

please help...
