I am Getting a Helmet

On August 18, I will be getting a helmet.  Although I do ample tummy time and such, I have a flat-ish back of my head.  Lucky for me, there is a device that can help.  It is a cranial orthotic (i.e. a helmet).  My helmet is called is called a Doc Band, which looks likes the pictures below.  I will be wearing the helmet for 23 hours a day for an unknown number of weeks (probably somewhere between 6-10 weeks).  Each week, I will go to the helmet place to get it adjusted (i.e. the foam inside the helmet is adjusted/shaved to direct proper growth of my head).  The Doc Band works by applying mild holding pressures and capturing the growth of my head.  This method directs growth to the flat regions and discourages it in the prominent areas.  It is important to know that the Doc Band does not cause pain.

These babies are not me.  But these are examples of what the helmet will look like.
