Health And General Life Care: [Plagio] Re: Developmental Delay

The helmet (at least the DOC band) is about 6oz. I personally think
it is even lighter than that. The band could actually help with
rolling. My son got his band at 7.5 months and started rolling all
over at that point. We have mostly tile so I'm guessing the tile
didn't feel good on his head when trying to roll. I would think
carpet wouldn't feel good either (rug burn). I agree, I wouldn't be
too worried but since you are concerned it sounds like a good idea
to have ECI come out and evaluate her.

since. She hated tummy time and one night decided she was going to
be a tummy sleeper despite our multiple attempts to flip her. My
ped said that rolling isn't necessarily considered a milestone
because, like crawling, not all kids will do it. If she is on
target with her other skills I wouldn't worry!

time. I am worried that if the helmet is too cumbersome it will
delay these milestones even further. I am going to get an ECI
evalution to see if they have any suggestions. Otherwise, she is
sitting up w/o assistance and seems ahead on her fine motor skills
and language.
