Flat Head
by admin on Thursday, March 15th, 2007 | No Comments
My 6.5 month old has a flat head. How do I help her without doing helmet therapy,wich has been suggested?
her head is really flat,not a little but alot. She wont sleep on her side. Her doctor recommends helmet therapy. We are open to any suggestion that may prevent this course of action.
We are starting to use a memory foam for her at night and she is starting to have alot more up time...will this help?
Honestly, by 6.5 months, repositioning will do very little. I know this b/c my son ended up having a DOC band at 7 months and wore it until about 10 months....after memory foam, aggressive repositioning etc. It does depend on the severity, if she just needs a few mm of correction then repositioning can help. However, if she is still very flat by now, then you need to seriously consider the helmet. I didn't want to do it...it's expensive, insurance won't cover it(for the most part), and I didn't want people staring at him. But looking back(he's 20months now) I'm soooooo glad I put him in the DOC band! His head improved fast and dramatically just in three months and I know that wouldn't have happened without it. I'm not trying to push the helmet on you, I just know that you will never look back and say, "I shouldn't have put her in a band," but you might say, "I should have done something when I had the chance."
You might want to check out the yahoo groups website too. There are two groups...parents of children with positional plagiocephaly(flathead syndrome) and parents of older children with plagiocephaly. I joined the first and there are some very good stories of people who've had success with both repositioning and helmets. The second is a group of parents who's older kids do have flat heads and it may be a good idea to get some suggestions from them. Good luck!
