How did you know you needed one? My son has a flat spot on the back of his head and I keep forgetting to ask the pediatrician if it's okay or if he needs one.
@mct, he has had a flat head since I can remember and I always asked his pediatrician if it’s normal and if he needs a helmet. She always said no he’s fine. I changed doctors to get a second opinion when he turned 7 months. She said he had brachycephaly and would need a helmet. He is very old to be getting one because his old doctor said he didn’t need one when he did
@buntaine, that’s good! My oldest had to use one as well and he hated it, so hopefully with Eliana it’s different lol did they say how long he would be in it?
My son has a helmet too! He loves it! The same thing happened with pediatricians! First doctor said he would shape it himself 🙄 that it’s nothing to worry about. I ended up getting into an argument with one nurse because she squeezed the shit out of my sons thigh when she was getting ready to give my son a shot. He started screaming! There was two shots left and I told her to stop and get a different nurse. First visit with the new doctor and he wrote a referral for cranial tech. He has to have two different helmets. He’s had this one for about 2 months. He gets the other one a month or two after his birthday in October.
