And here starts our adventure

This is the Journey of my little football head <3



April 1st Liam got his helmet. Luckily for me... he adapted perfectly!! It doesn't bother him at all!!

The adaption process was smooth:

Day 1 - Wear for one hour 3 times in the day - not for naps
Day 2 - Wear for 2 hours 3 times in the day - not for naps
Day 3- Wear for 4 hours twice this day - yes with nap
Day 4 - Wear for 8 hours straight only.  - yes with nap
Day 5 - 23 hours on... one hour off (for bathing)
<br>

3 days after the 23 hour use... since he has such chubby cheeks he developed a rash. which last 24+ hours ...(The Dr let us know that if the rash lasts more than one hour.. it should be adjusted-- and babies should not be wearin gtheir helmet during this time)


I took him to the appt the next day and his helmet was adjusted.. everything was great after that,

After 2 weeks of wearing  his helmet: 
The left side is flatter




The bumps on the bottom are from the heads growth already. 

During the first follow up appt, the Dr noted that he apparently had a growth spurt and the reshaping has already begun. Lucky us!!! <3 

::She said that normally they dont see results until 2 months.. so those who dont get results immediately shouldn't worry.. we just got lucky witht he growth spurt.. and my son is already 8 months.. as opposed to the majority who are 6 months. ::

Note: This week he was sick with high fevers. During the times with the fever we needed to remove the helmet.
