My baby had Torticollis and kept favoring one side while sleeping so she developed a slight flattening on one side. She was just under 6 months when we had our first consultation. Cranial Tech said her case was "severe" based on the numbers. Her Cranial Vault Asymmetry was 9.0 mm. Our insurance approved the DocBand, with $1k out of pocket, which was kindda steep, but we moved forward. Baby had red marks on her forehead and head initially and I was skeptical about the treatment - for a moment I felt like I got caught up with their "sales pitch"... and didn't really want to have her in the DocBand 23 hours a day. We almost quit the DocBand a week or so in. But then we realized we should stick to it since we'll only have one chance to really correct her head shape while she's so young. Decided to "embrace" the DocBand, got bows and Velcro and a sticker from Amazon to accessorize it and had her wear it for about 22 hours a day for just under 6 weeks before she "graduated" and didn't need to wear it anymore! We did take it off in the morning to wipe her head and clean the helmet in addition to the 1-hr break later in the day. With the weekly adjustments, the redness was not so apparent anymore and she would occasional get a slight pinkness in certain areas. They actually added moleskin to one of the areas on her forehead that used to get really red - that really helped! In hindsight we're so glad we stuck to it. The "after" image is really telling - and her Cranial Vault Asymmetry went from 9mm to 4mm! read more
