[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 453429, member: 4264"] I was never given a name for what happened to my Matt's head as a baby. His head was shaped fine at birth but changed a few months later and progressively became worse during his first year. He was fitted with a helmet as well for many months, but it was due to head banging. They were never sure, but thought he banged his head due to pressure (headaches). In spite of seeing a neurosurgeon (they finally ruled out water on the brain, cysts, tumors, eventually thought his "soft spot" had closed up too early, turned out not to be the case though, no reason was found) and a plastic surgeon (who had planned for a series of reconstruction type operations), nothing medically actually was performed. He stopped the head banging on his own. He skull never magically corrected itself but with hair growth it was hard (next to impossible) to notice the misshapen nature of his skull. I opted not to have the reconstructive procedures and still think it was a good decision for him. Had the problem been more noticable, I would have. I have no clue about insurance in the US but I hope the cost of the helmet is covered or much less than you have been thinking it is. Ouch!!! Keeping baby Emily in my thoughts!!! [/QUOTE]
