Well, this entire molding helmet decision has been one that Brad and I have gone back and forth on. With the Plastic Surgeon leaving the decision up to us (due to his mild case), we went back and forth and really struggled with doing it. We decided to ask the final opinion of our pediatrician (who we really like and trust)...so during Joey's 6 month visit, the pediatrician did his measurements and gave us his "final analysis"...his verdict "I wouldn't do it". Basically, Joey's flatness is so mild that he said that if he were to see him today, he would have never suggested seeing the Plagiocephely clinic at all. He said the only reason he referred us when he was so little is because you don't know how severe the case can become. And, fortunately, since Joey has become a belly sleeper, there has been and should be no worsening, but improvement (according to the doc). Nevertheless, we still struggled with the decision and realized we have to have a united front in tackling the problem....so we decided to hold off on the helmet. We prayed for this night after night and thankfully God listened.
