We went to the CT in Phoenix. Mindee was our Clinician and she was wonderful. Who do you see?

Re: New to the Banding Family and very mixed up about it!

Here is a big virtual hug for you. My son is just ending histreatment with a STARband. He was almost 5 months when the bandingstarted. We have been banded for 7 weeks now and am happy to say wehave just 2 weeks left! Remarkable.Anyways, I dont have great advice. Im sorry to say it took my son aweek to sleep in his helmet for any length of time. He still wakes 2or more times per night because he is uncomfortable (this was a sleepthrough the night baby since 2 months old!!) It has been a big sleepadjustment for my husband and I but IT IS WORTH IT! Just rememberthat. Each night, each nap, remember what the end point is. It willget better, it will take time. Hope he adjusts quickly for you!!>> My son is 5 months and has had the band on for 5days. He is doing ok> but he is not himself.

Yes, We had great results. Everyone in the office is so nice and helpful. Don't be afraid to ask any type of question that you have. They have heard it all. I am so glad we took Spencer to Cranial Tech, they took great care of him.
