This is our story of trying to round out our 10 months old flat head. He has mild brachycephaly\plagiocephaly and will wear a helmet. We hope to share the information and research that we find along the way and continue to learn as we go. Hopefully we can be a source of comfort to you in your own journey as we seek our own comfort in knowing that we're doing what's best for our son.

Appointment with BJ

Our appointment with BJ went well yesterday.
He was pleased with Easton's head.
He could see a change in the bottom of his head...where most people have that bump that sticks out.
Easton didn't previously have that, but now he does.  It's coming out quite nicely.
He also cut the face part of the helmet out some so it opens up  his face more.
He looks like Easton again.
He also shaved some of the foam off the underside of the helmet around his face so it's more comfortable.
No more wonky eyebrow.
He can now look up and SEE you instead of his eyebrows pushing down.

We go back in another week.
We'll see how much progress is made then.
That will be a whole week of 23\1.

As for naps and sleep, those were my biggest concerns but he's doing well.
As long as you keep it cool (around 64-66) in his room he sleeps right through.
The helmet makes him really warm so to avoid overheating we keep it COOL.

Nevermind that Lance and I are fully clothed from head to toe all night!  ;)

    We've discovered that 65 is the magic nighttime temperature as well! Works for us because pre-baby, we kept it 64, so it was an adjustment keeping it at 68 to keep him warm! LOL

    Glad that the appointment went well!
