Follow-up Helmet Appointment
About four weeks ago, we took Kellyn to get initially evaluated to see if she needed a cranial remolding orthosis. The cranial remolding orthosis is basically a helmet for children who have plagiocephaly. It helps to reshape the head into a more symmetrical shape. At that appointment, Kellyn's measurements fell within the normal range. However, she still had a flat spot on side of her head while the other side jutted out a bit more. The cranial remolding specialist did not recommend a helmet. She suggested lots of tummy time so that the head would likely fill in on its own.
