Hi !

I am getting helmet therapy for my son, . He is 5 months old now, but

his treatment won't begin until he is 7 months. The orthotics clinic told

me they normally don't start treatment until 7 months (although the

neurologist said 6 months is a good age, too).

Hi again, thanks for all the replies

Would 5 to 6 months be considered a younger infant still regarding

the effectiveness of helmet treatment? There's just so many

questions... and literally it seems so little time.

Also by U of M, I meant Children's Hospital at the University of

Michigan. Sorry, we are just so used to UofM around here that it

rolled right off without thinking.

Thanks again,
