Re: Ridge on my son's head and inch up

[Guest guest]

I'm not sure what it is either. My son has been in his helmet since June 18th, full time for almost 2 weeks and he is developing a ridge also. A friend who has a baby in a helmet said her son is developing a ridge as well. I'm curious but not too worried because my husband has somewhat of a ridge too so I'll just ask at our next appt. It looks as if the flat spot rounded out the ridge would not look like a ridge but the base of his skull.

Anyone else experience this?

Hello, My son has been in the Starband for almost three weeks now. I took off his helmet to put on his shirt and noticed a ridge that is one inch above his neckline. it creates a trough in the middle of his head. It looks worse than his flat spot.Has anyone experience this?thanks

We just saw our daughter's plastic surgeon this morning for a CT Scan

to rule out craniosynostosis and I asked him about her ridge. He

said that as the bones grow together sometimes they overlap. He said

that wearing the helmet would take care of it. I haven't asked the

orthotist yet since we see her this Monday.

Hope that helps.

Yes, my son now has a very pronounced ridge exactly what the original

poster described. Our orthotist said that is the head rounding out.

It is hard to tell though. We see his pediatrician next week.
