Hi Kelly,

What are her measurements? My son, Max, was 87% CI and we chose to not band and I do not regret it. My daughter, Anna, was 101% CI and she is due to graduate in two weeks from her Docband and we happy we banded. We did start with a local passive helmet and it did nothing at all to correct the brachy so we decided to meet with CT and that is where the above measurements are from.

I posted some pictures and the opinions from everyone in this group helped me to make my decisions.

good Luck, Dawn

My daughter, Anna is 3 days shy of 7mo old. We had our eval at Cranial
Tech. today for Plagio. Anna has mild brachycephaly. She meets the
criteria to band, but just barely. The back of he head is flat (more
noticable when her hair is wet), but she has a ton of hair which hides
it well. We need to make the decision on whether or not to band. My
fear is, if we do not band, her brachycephaly may not improve, with
normal developmental milestones, to a point where her head
looks "normal" and by then, it will be too late to correct. Has
anyone else had to make this decision for a mild case? Are there any
other options out there? Thank you, Kelli
