2101 JoanneRowlandUKA friend's son has had the helmet and it has been successful, pity the local health authority didn't have this proceedure as part of their medicine/prescription so they didn't have to pay alot of money - even though it is worth every penny.

2129 PaulaBellisUKI have a child with moderate plagio and have had no imformation from the NHS GP or Health Visitor and have been told an appointment with a paedetrician would take 23 weeks. My daughter would be 10 months old by then and there'd be little chance of her condition improving. There is so much help and advice the NHS could give to help parents, even without providing helmets.

2133 IANWIGLEYUKMy Son has a flat back of head, due to a suction cup being used when he was born, as we had twins. My reason for replying to this is, my daughter who was born some 30 mins later, was not in any disctress we were told, so why was the suction cup used? we were told after 6 weeks his head would go back to normal but he is now 9 months and it has not....we have had him checked over and there is no potential damage and it is merely now cosmetic, but you as well as me know, that children can make quite spiteful enemies and i do not want my son to be ridiculed because of this, so i feel an easier route to get this potential issue sorted through the NHS should be looked at, because if we want anything done, we'd have to go private....like most things! so please - make life easier for parents and especially the child involved and get NHS help where needed.

2143 EdithGomezGBMy 3 year old daughter has untreated plagiocephaly. I think the NHS is responsible for her condition, for not telling me the risk of back sleeping and not giging me any advice on repositionning when I talked to the gp about my concerns about her head shape . She now has facial asymmetry issues (jaw, eye).

2148 JingRodgersGBMy five months old daughter is suffering from severe plagiocephaly. I am from China where most babies sleep on baby pillows, so I have never heard of plagiocephaly until I have my baby. In UK, the pillow is not recommonded due to cot death, so my daughter didn't use a pillow. Actually I read the news that scientists in America have found out the dot death is genetic problem. I have asked advice from Health Visitors and GP, but they said when babies grow older, the flat area will pop out by itself. My GP even said that the deformed head has nothing to do with sleeping position or pressure from the flat mattress! I am concerned about my daughter's head and hope they can do something about it. Unfortunately, I don't think they recommond a helmet or band. The only way is to go to a private specialist and pay for treatment, but I cannot afford it. At the moment I just feel so helpless and hopeless. I hope one day the NHS can provide a proper treatment for plagiocephaly.
2149 MelanieEvansGBMy son has plagio and we are frantically fundraising for him so he can have the treatment. What do we pay our taxes for???
