I have a feeling that we will still have to band anyway. He has very
strong neck muscles and even though I put a rolled up receiving
blanket when he sleeps he still manages to move his head to that
side!! I didn't think to try the baby bjorn. That is a good idea. I
agree that the sooner the better for banding and I will keep track of
improvements if any so I can get him in sooner if need be.

only wanted to sleep with her head to the right. I think that you
are right in thinking that you should rotate the head in various
positions to prevent flattening on the other side. Lots of tummy
time. I used the baby bjorn all of the time to keep her off the head.
I changed the way she faced on the changing table. I even sewed a
tube sock with rice to the back of her onesie to keep her off of that
side. We didn't have much luck with the repositioning. We banded at
5.5 months and honestly I wished that we had banded a little sooner.
The optimal time is 3-6 months so that's something to keep in mind.
Good luck with the repostioning, it has definitely worked for some!!
