Re: starting on the late side - 10 months

[Guest guest]

We got our band for mild/moderate plagio at 12 months and our

measurements got to normal. I can still see some plagio up high, but

many others do not. My son has a Starband with a great ortho and we

kept it on extra long, so far 11 months. Our ortho still monitors and

adjusts the band. In addition to the helmet, we've treated

aggressively with alternative treatments. We've done chiro/CST,

osteopath, and recently PT. We thought our son's neck was fine other

than a preference to turn right, but finally went for a PT and to our

surprise his PT considers him mildly physically delayed. I interpret

this as he was personally delayed since he did not reach any milestones

on the late side. I plan to continue with treatment and expect at

least a tiny bit more improvement with the head over time.

Others have banded past 12 months with results. There was another case

on this site who banded with CT at 10 months for moderate right plagio

and got to 1mm off after only one band. She followed with osteopath

treatments, and signed off our group around 27 months, happy with the

results, other than the left eye remaining smaller.

Best,

Kathy, mom to 23 months

Our son is already 9 1/2 months old and we are just getting

started with the evaluation and fitting. He has plagio, with a very

flat spot on the right side of his head. No neck trouble though, we did

lots of tummy time since he was 2 months and his neck has developed

fine. We've been told that since he's already older the correction to

his head will not be 100%. Of course I'm beating myself up for not

taking him in earlier and just looking for some hope. Anybody start

this late and get good results?

I appreciate any feedback!
