Re: Daughter's first appointment today

Reposition her so she lays on the less-flatter side. Use rolled up blankets to prop her on her side and even feed her so the side that is the less flat is applied the pressure during feedings. You can most definitely reposition enough to where she will not need a band. It can be done. She is so young and her skull is still so soft that you have a really great chance of seeing some good progress. Good luck! Tammyamari624 <amari624@...> wrote: Hi! I have been

You are doing everything right. At night you can sleep her on her tummy or side. One idea we tried: Sew Velcro to her pjs and sheet so she can't move off her side. I would wait and try 2 months of aggressive repositioning before getting the helmet. Why waste your money, time, and sanity if you don't have to? Good luck!!!=)

Daughter's first appointment today

Hi! I have been reading through the messages and everyone seems so

educated on plagio that I thought I'd ask for some opinions. My

daughter got her scan today and her asymmetry measurement was 7 mm.

They said anything over 5 is considered visible. Does that sound

right? She's only 4 and a half months so the doctor wants me to try

repositioning for 6 weeks and then come back for a rescan to monitor

if any progress was made.

Do you think we have a chance of making significant enough

improvements to avoid helmet therapy? Right now I am basically

keeping her off her head all day long by using a bumbo, exersaucer,

and bjorn carrier. I even hold her when she naps so that she doesn't

put any pressure on the back of her head. Any other suggestions?

Thanks.
