Helmet or no helmet?

Our baby is 6.5 months old now (see photos of his head today). He was born with torticollis and after a few months of physical therapy his plagiocephaly and torticollis got much better but he developed brachycephaly šŸ˜” Both his pediatrician and physical therapist said his head will correct on its own and that a helmet is not needed. However, Iā€™m not sure that will be the case. What do you all think? Any advice much appreciated!

Hiya my little boy just had his helmet for about a month he now 7 month old and he has got brachycephaly and already in a month we have noticed a change!

@Katie thatā€™s great to hear! How many hours a day does your LO use the helmet?

He wear his around 22 hours a day :)

@Katie awwwā€¦ so much change already! I hope wearing the helmet doesnā€™t bother him. Thatā€™s another concern I have with our little one šŸ˜”

He is not bothered by it at all :) I was the same I was really worried about it but with him rolling around and will be learning to crawl soon itā€™s actually really handy

Thatā€™s good to hear! Thanks!
