Baby Helmet, Doc Band, Plagiocephaly & Torticollis Therapy
At 4 months old the pediatrician diagnosed my son with torticollis & plagiocephaly.
The PT suggested he get a helmet (band) to correct his head shape. As well as therapy stretching on his neck.
Have you ever heard of torticollis or plagiocephaly?
As a first-time mom, I felt a lot of guilt, sadness & even more anxiety.
This lead me into a downward spiral and telling myself...
"This is my fault! I should have done more tummy time! I should have caught this sooner! I’m such a bad mom!"
No parent ever wants to hear something is wrong with their child.
No matter how big or small it may be, it’s still big to those parents at the time they are living the situation.
Does your child need or have a helmet? Have you seen babies with helmets and wondered why they wear them?
I share our story on the episode, in hopes to encourage the mamas going through it or the family members that don't understand.
