Re: Anyone notice a delay in milestones due to helmet?

Does Luke have torticollis? If so, then he will likely be a little

delayed in some of these physical developments.

Good point - thanks Jenn. He had tort, but it's resolved and there

aren't any lingering effects from it - he has full rotation and

lateral flexion, but it makes sense that having had it could cause a

delay... Thanks!

My daughter got her band at 5 mo. I can't remember when she rolled but

by 5.5 mo she was sitting, and on time for everything (walking at 10

mo). I don't think the band is much of a factor, but tort can

introduce some delays from what I've read here.
