This subject needs to be out in the open! Wearing a helmet is nothing to be ashamed of. Thanks for keeping up the great content, ladies. Now, heading to Brandi's channel!
This was SO encouraging. My daughter is a fantastic sleeper and developed plagiocephaly. I have been soooo concerned, but I am following my motherly instincts and already set up an appointment at Cranial Technologies. Thanks for sharing your experience!
Thanks for sharing your experience. A doc band was recommended for our daughter at the Cranial Technologies center here. Her misshaped head occurred while in utero and while sleeping on back. I had mom guilt but am feeling much better about moving forward with treatment.
Thanks so much for sharing. I just found out this week that my four-month-old son needs to wear a helmet and I felt like such a failure as a mother. We gave him ample tummy time all the time but he was also a good sleeper and slept a lot on his back which created a flat spot. I also had no idea what the helmets were for and I’m still a little nervous about it but seeing this video helped me a lot.
@@strawberrymilfu3931 maam can't you share any link actually the Dr in India has prescribed but the helmet is not satisfactory so if you could share me the link I could purchase it and make it fix by him
Hi Corinne, I am not sure how old Milly was when she had her helmet fitted. However my son Castiel had his helmet fitted 1 week ago and we have already seen results! and he turned 6 months 3 days ago. I was told by the specialist that fitted Castiel's helmet that the perfect time to have them fitted is between 4 - 8 months, but they do fit them as late as 18months. If you are interested in seeing his journey I post weekly updates on my channel and have before and after photos. ua-cam.com/video/JMreg8oQLts/v-deo.html I hope this has helped and good luck with your baby :D
I know this is super old...but my daughter was first seen at 1 month old for her pics and received her helmet at 3 months of age due to severe plagiocephaly from inside the womb...being stuck in one position in utero..her ears were in different positions as were her eyes which caused a lazy eye.
Hey ladies! My baby had a flat head. He's 2 now, and it's completely gone. Do you know what I did? Nothing. The helmet, I think, not only is completely unnecessary, but also can potentially have harmful side-effects. Using a helmet to remodel a baby's head, only for cosmetic reasons is something that should actually, according to some studies, be strongly discouraged. I don't know why your doctor recommended it to you, but he was probably trying to sell you something. Sorry to be that person in the comments, but I just really think we shouldn't encourage this practice, or even scare parents by raising their attention towards the flatness of their babies head. Seriously girls, it's not an issue. Like you said, tummy time, baby wearing, moving them is much more beneficial in the end than wearing a helmet. I can't help but think of corsets in 1800 Europe when I see this. Sorry for this comparison, I really don't mean to judge, I'm only speaking because I think about other mums starting to worry that their kids might need these, when they don't. I hope this helps.
I'll even add a personal story: my own nephew's pediatrician is one to hook you up with tons of expensive medicine, to shoot your baby TWICE for vaccines, and to sell you up on tons of crap. He pointed out to my sister in law that her baby had a flat head. And she started to freak out. That made me so mad because at that time, my son was the same age, had the same head shape, and I knew it was an absolute non-issue. Babies have flat heads, it's normal. They are most of the time on their backs, and it's fine! When they go through birth, their heads can get squished: it's ok too. Eventually it goes away. My personal intuition is that, if you have a flat head as an adult, it's totally genetics, not because your parents missed a few tummy time sessions. Studies have been carried out where they compare head shapes of babies that wore helmets, and others that did nothing at all: the results show no significant difference between the two groups.
I agree. My little guy was flat on one side and protruding on the opposite side of his forehead( i'd have to look up the name they gave it) we didn't even realize it until a regular check up. It's fixing its self. They have alot of growing to do!! Every parent should research-take your time and make your own decision.
Mel & I , absolutely. They have so much growing to do. Their little skulls keep growing, their bone stucture will evolve and grow. I have such a hard time believing that a little flat spot on their soft heads will affect their skull shape as adults, when it's supposed to grow and mold itself through the years. My 14yo niece had a car accident, and poor little girl fractured her clavicle. Since it happened in another country, they didn't put the right kind of cast on her and the fracture got worse. It looked pretty severe. Back there, the docs recommended surgery. We brought her here in Europe, and all the doctors she was taken to were positive: no surgery should be carried out, because she still has a lot of growing to do. Plus the bone has already started to reform. So it will mold itself through the years like play dough, and eventually go back to normal. If not, then surgery should be considered. I have no medical training, but my intuition and experience on the case of flat heads is that we shouldn't worry about it at all.
Thanks for sharing the information. My baby is 8 mo and he has flat head on his back, when Me and my husband noticed the shape of bubba’s head to be a bit different, I freaked out and went to the doctors for consultation. I literally consulted three doctors since I was not getting the mind satisfaction. Ultimately the majority of gps said to give bubba a lot of tummy time, and that the shape goes away by itself since they are growing very rapidly. I just keep an eye so that bubba gets enough tummy time throughout the day and also sleeps on both of his sides. I hope it gets well soon.
I have tried everything for my son with repositioning even staying up at night to make sure he's on the right side. His head is getting worse. He has torticollis in his neck so he prefers to look left. I can't pull all nighters and never put him down to correct his head shape, you might look down on me for that. You say you don't mean to judge but you are. I have seen older children walking around with misshapen heads, keep in mind there are severe cases of plagiocephaly. I have seen so many women with 4 year old or 2 year old children begging to have their child's head fixed by a helmet but at that point it's too late. It would be great if my son didn't have to wear a helmet, but I promise you, from a mother who actually has a son who needs a helmet, they are needed.

Omg thank you for making this video because I think my son has a flat spot and I had no idea that’s what the little helmets were for.

Great video I just wish there was a pic of her before she had to wear the helmet.
Why you did not show her photos after helmet threapy

How old was Milly when she got her helmet? My pediatrician waits till 6 months, which seems late to me.
