She was born with very little complication and was able to come home from the hospital very soon! She ate, she slept, and was an all-around wonderful baby! At her three-month immunizations, our nurse alerted us to what she described as a flat spot!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We had never heard of this and were really unconcerned at that time. It wasn\u2019t until a follow-up appointment that our eyes were opened to an obvious malformation of her head. Perhaps we were blinded by baby bliss or maybe it really was her hair that was able to mask the issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.starbandkids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Griffin-000-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1390\" width=\"571\" height=\"761\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.starbandkids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Griffin-000-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.starbandkids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Griffin-000-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/www.starbandkids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Griffin-000-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/www.starbandkids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Griffin-000.jpeg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 571px) 100vw, 571px\" \/><figcaption>Griffin keeping cool in her STARband<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>We began therapy right away and the next few months were a constant barrage of physio appointments, at-home repositioning, purchases of head pillows and Tortle hats and the list goes on. It became a part of our every day to try and ensure pressure to the opposite side of her head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each appointment would come and go and her measurements would gradually become worse despite our best efforts. It was at this moment that panic and fear set in as a parent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At what would be one of our final physiotherapy appointments, the topic of a cranial band was discussed. It was a no-brainer for us, if there was something that could potentially correct this, we were all for it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From that moment on things went quickly. Tests, casting, fittings and boom\u2014a helmet!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We were warned by our physician that the first days would not be pleasant and that it would take some time to get to the 23 hours of wear per day, but luckily for us, she was a complete trooper and didn\u2019t seem phased by her new headwear!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.starbandkids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Griffin-001-edited.jpeg\" alt=\"Baby receiving Plagiocephaly Helmet Therapy with the STARband Cranial Remolding Orthosis\" class=\"wp-image-1396\" width=\"493\" height=\"521\"\/><figcaption>Fixin&#8217; Flats with the STARband<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Move forward 6 months and Griffin&#8217;s head shape was more perfect than I could have ever imagined and we have STARband to thank for this!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>STARband has been one of the best things we could have ever done for our daughter!
