Get the helmet! I've never had the experience of a child needing one but I would 100% get one if needed. I completely understand what you are saying about not wanting your child to be wearing one but a flat head for life is so so much worse. It's common enough now that people don't really stare or think it's weird. I know it will be hard for you but just do it knowing it's best for your baby.

This was the helmet featured in Hamodia.

I love that. The pilot one is awesome. Such a clever idea.

The head is hard and firm already at that age. there's probably nothing much you can do.

No sorry. Once the baby' soft spot closes there is nothing to be done

I recently read in one of the Jewish magazines (sorry, don't remember which one) of a lady that draws cute designs on the helmet, for example to make it look like a pilot's helmet. Maybe that would be an option


Yes I remember that too. She made loads of different designs. Custom made, personalized etc. Super cute. I think it was the Ami so maybe they'll have contact information for the lady who paints them.

I just read more comments and realized it was already mentioned and linked.

I wonder if my son's PT would still be able to help you. She did a great job with him but he was an infant when we did it. Her approach is completely different. She's in NJ. If that's doable for you, I'll share her info.

I went the helmet route with my baby and I don't regret it. Her head was lopsided. Now it is beautiful and round Smile
