When he was four months old we noticed his head was flatter in the back on one side. The Dr. gave us some repositioning techniques to try and round out his head but it did not work. The helmet will force his head to grow in all the right places. After one week we can already see a difference! He now wears it 23 hours a day (it comes off every night in order to wash his hair). Overall he is doing great with the helmet and only complains when we need to put it back on him although now he cries but holds his head still. He will wear the helmet for 3-6 months (we ar hoping for 3).
We still go on walks...
Have play time...

The best comments come from kids..."Look the baby has a helmet. Can I have one like that to ride my bike."

And he is still the cutest little guy ever!!! I love that it is bright purple too!
The helmet definitely adds to the cuteness instead of detracting. I knew another baby who had to wear one but I didn't know why, at the time, so this was informative for me :).
