My sweet baby got his helmet. Did anyone else have to have their baby in a helmet? Hoping it corrects the flat spot fast so he's not in it all summer!



@livinthatmomlife, yes. He sweat pretty bad. He wore it during summer months and we live in Texas. If he got real sweaty, we took it off and let his head breathe for a little bit.
@maryeliza we go back every month to check progress. Glad your little got cleared! ❤
@sherilynne23 that's about the time frame the doctor said babies are in them for, hoping mine is shorter! 🙄
@meganelizabeth104 to help round his head out. He has a flatter spot on one side
@mrschanandlerbong95 did he sweat really bad in it? Mine just pours sweat out of his and I guess that's normal in the beginning?
@livinthatmomlife I believe he was in his for about 6 mos.
@livinthatmomlife, she was mainly supposed to wear it while playing, that way if she fell and bumped her head it wouldn’t bruise or anything, but she threw a fit when I’d put it on her, so she didn’t wear it a whole lot, but she was only like 6 or 7 months old when she got diagnosed with the ITP, but after every other week going back and forth to Louisville and rounds of medicine she got cleared.
@livinthatmomlife, ours was the same. It was really easy for him to get used to wearing it. After a week, it didn’t bother him at all. By the end of it, he actually wanted to wear it.
@mrschanandlerbong95 that was the ballpark estimate he mentioned to me, I'm really hoping it's not that long. He'll have to wear it 23 hours a day 😣
My oldest was a helmet baby. He wore it for 6-7 months. He got it off before his first birthday.
My oldest daughter had one when she was a baby, she had ITP.
@mommypoppin I noticed his a few months ago and mentioned it to his pedi who said he didn't need one but if I wanted a second opinion they would give me a referral so that's what I did. The orthotics even said he didn't need one until he took scans of his head then said he definitely did need to have one. Glad I followed my gut and went through so many doctors. Hoping he doesn't have to wear it long!
@sherilynne23 how long did your nephew end up having to wear his?
@bcsweetie_b.b. that's where we took him, the specialists said no helmet until he took scans and saw he did in fact need one. Hoping he doesn't have to wear it long!
He is sooo stinkin cute!! I didn't have any personal experience with this but my nephew had to have one.
My son was on the fence and I chose not to. I regret that as he’s 4 and flat head. I wish I had done it! Great job and this is beyond adorable!!
No experience w this but oh my goodness he’s soooooooo cute!!!😍😭💗
@mrschanandlerbong95 thanks for the info, I appreciate it 😊 we live in Arkansas so it gets pretty hot here, too 😬
