Before & Afters

Please note that the "Befores" are "professionally" done and I took the "Afters" today. It sure was hard to get an 11 1/2 month old to cooperate, but you get the picture!

As you can see the shape of his face and head changed dramatically. His head was growing out instead of back. Big improvement!


Here is the back. Yes, he has a lot of hair now, but notice his head tilting to the left. It doesn't now since his head is almost perfectly symmetrical!

Our little conehead isn't so much a conehead anymore. Again, he has a lot more hair, but you can really see a big change now!


Same for this one too! The top of his head was so sloped but, that isn't the case anymore!


We couldn't be more pleased with the results after 5 1/2 months of helmet wearing! He has done perfect without it of course. Except for when he bumps his head into things expecting it not to hurt! We knew that was going to happen! He sure does look like a different baby to us now! We are still getting use to not seeing him in it! I sure do love snuggling with him now without him banging his big helmet in my face. We will not miss the helmet one bit!

We have a few friends whose kids have these. They make a huge difference! Glad he has made such improvements. Hope all is well with y'all.
