baby's head is flat in the side and helmet
Does anyone's baby had to use a helmet?
My 6 months old baby is diagnosed with flat head (google calls it positional plagiocephal) by the technician in Welcare hospital who'd like us to put a helmet on him for 23 hours in a day. My husband is worried that our son may hate the helmet. I'm worried that my son will turn into a handsome young man albeit with an oblique skull. My mom says there were no helmets when she had had her children and the flat head corrected on its own with time as the skull grew and hair grew on it.
Can the flat head be corrected without the usage of a helmet (through changing sleep positions?) Technician said it'll cost us a dear 7000 AED.
Both my twins have this problem, although its prominent in one. (Twins and premie babies are believed to be more prone to flat head)
